Tribal People Try Italian Breakfast and Their Faces Say Everything
About this video
Italian food 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 italian food?
Italian food beyond pizza and pasta: risotto, tiramisu, gelato, focaccia, bruschetta, parmesan, olive oil. Simple ingredients, few spices, and a lot of cheese and bread.
What to watch for
Italian cooking is mild by Punjabi standards and the first note is almost always 'needs salt and chilli'. Olive oil's peppery bitterness is new. Tiramisu, being coffee-flavoured, splits the table; gelato does not.
The comparison they always make
Bread, tomato and dairy are village staples, so the ingredients make sense. The absence of a spice base is what makes Italian food taste 'plain' to them, and they say plain, not bad.
