Tribal People Try Nuts & Dried Fruit

Every time the tribe has tasted nuts & dried fruit: 4 videos of first impressions from villagers in rural Punjab, Pakistan, usually International food they have never seen before.

Also covers: almonds, pistachio, pistachios, cashews, walnuts, macadamia, dates, raisins, trail mix

What it is

Nuts and dried fruit from around the world: macadamias, pecans, Brazil nuts, dried mango, dates from different countries, trail mix. Punjab grows and eats a lot of nuts, so this is a knowledgeable audience.

What to watch for

Nuts are approved by default. The interest is in the unfamiliar ones — macadamia's richness, Brazil nuts' size — and in flavoured nuts like honey-roasted or wasabi peas, which are new ideas.

The village comparison

Almonds, walnuts, pistachios and dried apricots are winter food and gift food here. Dates are eaten daily in Ramadan. The tribe know good nuts when they taste them.
