See What Happens When Tribal People Try Corned Beef for the First Time!
About this video
A first taste of beef, mutton in the village. This Tribal People Try episode does what the channel always does: put something new in front of people who cook every meal from scratch and let them talk.
What is beef, mutton?
Beef, mutton, lamb and goat: steak, roast lamb, brisket, lamb chops, meatballs, Mongolian beef, and the tribe's own nihari and karahi gosht. Red meat is festival food in the village.
What to watch for
Pink meat and sweet glazes are the two things that need getting used to. Slow-cooked dishes — brisket, braised lamb shoulder — feel right immediately. Mint sauce with lamb, a British habit, gets a raised eyebrow.
The comparison they always make
Mutton karahi and nihari are the benchmarks, and they are cooked until the meat is soft enough to eat with roti. Any red meat that resists the teeth is described as undercooked.
