Tribal People Try Big Mac For The First Time
About this video
McDonald's burgers, tried for the first time by villagers from rural Punjab, Pakistan. Nobody tells them what to say. Some like it, some don't, and in the Tribal People Try way they explain exactly why.
What is burgers?
A burger is a ground-meat patty in a soft bun with cheese, lettuce, onion and sauce. It is American by fame, though the name comes from Hamburg; McDonald's, Burger King and Wendy's made it the world's fast food.
McDonald's began as a single restaurant in San Bernardino, California in 1940 and became the world's largest burger chain after Ray Kroc started franchising it in 1955. The Big Mac dates from 1967. It opened in Pakistan in 1998, in Lahore.
What to watch for
It is eaten with two hands and it drips, which is fine. What catches people is the patty: plain minced beef with only salt and pepper, where a village kebab would have onion, green chilli, coriander and garam masala worked through it.
The comparison they always make
Shami kebab in a bun is the natural comparison, and the tribe usually says the shami wins on flavour and the burger wins on the bun. Pakistani fast-food burgers already come with chutney and a fried egg, so the plain American one can feel bare.
