Tribal People Try American Sandwiches: Their Reactions are Priceless!
About this video
Sandwiches 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 sandwiches?
A sandwich is anything between two slices of bread, and most countries have a favourite: the American club, the British cheese and pickle, the Vietnamese banh mi, the grilled cheese. Subway made the long sandwich a chain.
What to watch for
Cold fillings between cold bread are the sticking point — village food is served hot. Toasted or grilled sandwiches do far better than cold ones, and anything with a fried egg or spiced chicken is accepted immediately.
The comparison they always make
Roti and salan is the original sandwich here. Sliced white bread is shop-bought, used mostly for breakfast with tea, so a filled sandwich as a meal feels like a snack pretending to be dinner.
