Tribal People Try Chili Cheese Fries
About this video
Cheese in front of villagers from rural Punjab, Pakistan — that's the whole Tribal People Try recipe, and it keeps working because nothing is scripted.
What is cheese?
Cheese in its many forms: cheddar, mozzarella, blue cheese, brie, feta, string cheese, American slices, and the smelly aged ones that videos are built around. The village makes paneer; it does not age cheese.
What to watch for
Mild cheese is accepted; aged and blue cheese is not. The smell of a blue cheese is enough for most, and the taste — salty, sharp, mouldy on purpose — is described in words we cannot print. Melted cheese on something hot is the safe route.
The comparison they always make
Paneer is fresh, unsalted and mild, made at home from boiled milk and lemon. Every cheese is placed somewhere on the scale from paneer to spoiled milk, and the strong ones land at the wrong end.
