Tribal People Try Fruit Cocktail for the First Time
About this video
A first taste of fruit in the village. This Tribal People Try episode does what the channel always does: put something new in front of people who cook every meal from scratch and let them talk.
What is fruit?
Fruit from other climates: dragon fruit, durian, passion fruit, blueberries, avocado, kiwi, jackfruit, exotic melons. Punjab grows mangoes, guavas, oranges and pomegranates, so the tribe know fruit but not these.
What to watch for
Dragon fruit looks spectacular and tastes of very little, which is the running joke. Durian's smell gets the biggest reaction of anything on the channel. Berries are liked and judged too expensive for what they are.
The comparison they always make
Mango is the king here and every fruit is measured against it. A fruit that is not sweet — avocado, a bland melon — fails on principle.
