Tribal People Try Baked Brownies | Authentic Reactions
About this video
In this Tribal People Try episode it's cake. The tribe look it over, ask the questions anyone would, and then taste it and give the honest answer.
What is cake?
Cake covers birthday sponges, chocolate fudge cake, carrot cake, red velvet, black forest and the American layer cakes covered in buttercream. Bakery cake is common in Pakistani cities; the elaborate frosted kind is what the videos usually feature.
What to watch for
Frosting is the divide. A thick layer of American buttercream is sweeter and greasier than anything the village bakes, and the usual move is to eat the sponge and leave the icing. Chocolate cake wins; red velvet is treated with suspicion.
The comparison they always make
Cake is a city thing bought for weddings and birthdays. Home sweets are halwa, kheer and mithai, all far less sweet than a frosted American slice, whatever people assume.
