About this video

In this Tribal People Try video the tribe meet BBQ 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 BBQ?

American barbecue is meat cooked slowly over wood smoke for hours — brisket, ribs, pulled pork — with a sweet, tangy sauce. It is a different thing from grilling, and from the Pakistani 'BBQ' of quick tikka and kebabs over coal.

What to watch for

Smoke flavour is familiar; sweetness on meat is not. A sticky, sugary sauce on ribs is the part that divides the table. Slow-cooked brisket, on the other hand, is close enough to nihari texture to feel like home.

The comparison they always make

Tikka on a coal angeethi is the village barbecue, and it is spicy, not sweet. Every BBQ video turns into a debate about sugar on meat.
