Tribal People Try Canned Tuna Salad for the First Time
About this video
Canned, 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 canned?
Canned and packaged food: Spam, canned cheese, baked beans, canned bread, instant mashed potatoes, freeze-dried meals, gas-station snacks. Convenience food from countries where people cook less.
What to watch for
Spam is the headline — pressed pink meat from a tin — and the halal beef or chicken versions used in the videos still get a long look before the first bite. Squeezy cheese and canned bread are treated as jokes until they are not.
The comparison they always make
Tinned food is rare in the village; even the flour is ground from wheat you can see. The distance between a chicken in the yard and a can of chicken is the whole reaction.
