Tribal People Try Bagel and Lox for the First Time
About this video
In this Tribal People Try video the tribe meet bread for the first time. Most of them had never seen it before the camera started, so the first minute is questions — what is it, what's in it, how do you eat it — and then the plates go round.
What is bread?
Bread varies more than almost any food: French baguettes, sourdough, Italian focaccia, German rye, American sliced white, Middle Eastern pita. Each is judged in these videos against the roti and naan the tribe eats three times a day.
What to watch for
Crust is the difference. Village breads are soft and pliable; a baguette is hard outside and airy inside, and sourdough is sour on purpose, which needs explaining. Butter on bread is welcome; bread on its own is not a meal.
The comparison they always make
The tribe are bread experts. Roti from a tandoor, naan, paratha, makai ki roti — they know exactly what good bread is, and they grade foreign loaves accordingly.
