Going to an American Donut Shop
About this video
In this Tribal People Try episode it's donuts. The tribe look it over, ask the questions anyone would, and then taste it and give the honest answer.
What is donuts?
Donuts are rings of enriched dough, deep-fried and glazed or sugared. Krispy Kreme and Dunkin' are the American names; the Portuguese, Poles and Indians all have their own fried-dough sweets.
What to watch for
Fried dough in sugar is a language everyone speaks. The reaction is about how soft and how sweet — a glazed Krispy Kreme is much sweeter and lighter than anything from a village kitchen, and a few people find it too much after one.
The comparison they always make
Balushahi is the Punjabi cousin: fried, syrup-soaked, denser. Gulab jamun comes up too. Donuts win on softness and lose on staying power.
