Tribal People 0.00002 Seconds After Trying Pizza
About this video
Tribal People Try sits the tribe down with pizza. It's filmed in the village, not a studio, and what you see is what happened on the day.
What is pizza?
Pizza is a flat bread from Naples topped with tomato and cheese and baked very hot. The delivery-chain version — Pizza Hut, Domino's, Papa John's — is thicker, cheesier and heavier on toppings than the Italian original.
What to watch for
Hot stretched cheese is the moment. Most first-timers pull at it, ask what it is, and then decide within a bite whether they like the chew. The tomato base reads as sweet to a Punjabi palate, and a plain margherita can seem underseasoned.
The comparison they always make
Bread topped with something is old news here — roti with achar, naan with keema — so the base makes sense; it is the cheese that has no village equivalent. Chicken tikka pizza tends to win because it tastes like something they already cook.
Make it yourself
If watching made you hungry, the pizza recipes below are the place to start — “Tawa pizza (no oven)”, “Stuffed-crust pan pizza” and “New York-style cheese pizza” and 4 more. Quantities scale to your household, and members can drop one onto this week's plan so the shopping list picks up the ingredients. One thing that matters when you make it: the oven cannot be too hot. Preheat a tray or a tawa in it for twenty minutes before the dough goes on.
They've also tried burgers, chips & snacks and chocolate — those episodes are linked on the right.
