Tribal People Try Filipino Food

Every time the tribe has tasted filipino food: 3 videos of first impressions from villagers in rural Punjab, Pakistan, usually Filipino food they have never seen before.

What it is

Filipino food: adobo, sinigang, lumpia, halo-halo, ube desserts, Jollibee's fried chicken and sweet spaghetti. Sour, sweet and savoury in the same dish is the Filipino signature.

What to watch for

Sour soups like sinigang are close to home in spirit — tamarind is a Punjabi souring agent too. Sweet spaghetti is treated as a mistake until it is explained as intentional. Purple ube ice cream gets a lot of looks.

The village comparison

Tamarind, garlic and vinegar are all in the village pantry, so adobo makes sense fast. Sugar in savoury food is the recurring puzzle, as with American cooking.
