One Bite Changed Everything
About this video
In this Tribal People Try episode it's sushi. The tribe look it over, ask the questions anyone would, and then taste it and give the honest answer.
What is sushi?
Sushi is Japanese: vinegared rice with raw fish, vegetables or egg, rolled in seaweed or pressed by hand. Raw fish is the headline, but rice, seaweed, wasabi and soy are each their own surprise.
What to watch for
Raw fish is the wall. Some try it, most stop at the first piece, and the cold, soft texture is the part they mention. Seaweed's ocean taste is new too. Cooked rolls with chicken or egg go down much better.
The comparison they always make
Fish in Punjab is fried in masala or cooked in curry, always well done. Cold rice is not eaten either, so sushi breaks two rules at once.
