Tribal People Try Grilled Cheese Sandwich For The First Time
About this video
In this Tribal People Try video the tribe meet sandwiches 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 sandwiches?
A sandwich is anything between two slices of bread, and most countries have a favourite: the American club, the British cheese and pickle, the Vietnamese banh mi, the grilled cheese. Subway made the long sandwich a chain.
What to watch for
Cold fillings between cold bread are the sticking point — village food is served hot. Toasted or grilled sandwiches do far better than cold ones, and anything with a fried egg or spiced chicken is accepted immediately.
The comparison they always make
Roti and salan is the original sandwich here. Sliced white bread is shop-bought, used mostly for breakfast with tea, so a filled sandwich as a meal feels like a snack pretending to be dinner.
