Tribal People Discovering Hot Dogs will Leave you Chuckling
About this video
Hot dogs in front of villagers from rural Punjab, Pakistan — that's the whole Tribal People Try recipe, and it keeps working because nothing is scripted.
What is hot dogs?
A hot dog is a thin cooked sausage in a split soft roll with mustard, ketchup, onions or relish. It came to America with German immigrants and stuck to baseball, street carts and summer.
What to watch for
The texture is the story: smooth, bouncy, uniform, nothing like meat cut from a bone. People who grew up with tandoori chicken and mutton curry find it hard to place what animal they are eating, and they say so.
The comparison they always make
There is no sausage tradition in the village, so the nearest thing is a seekh kebab in a bun — same shape, completely different bite. Beef or chicken hot dogs are used in the videos.
