Tribal People Fail the One Bite Challenge!
About this video
A challenge episode from Tribal People Try: ice cream, the tribe, and a fair fight. Watch who reaches for the water first.
What is ice cream?
Ice cream in its western forms: tubs of Ben & Jerry's, Magnum bars, soft serve, sundaes, and flavours like mint chocolate chip and cookie dough that do not exist in Pakistani ice-cream parlours.
What to watch for
Cold and sweet is easy. The flavours are the interest — mint with chocolate is often called toothpaste, and bubblegum or cookie dough need explaining. Chunks in ice cream, rather than smooth kulfi, are new.
The comparison they always make
Kulfi is the village ice cream: dense, milky, cardamom and pistachio, frozen in a mould. Against it, western ice cream is lighter, airier and sweeter.
