Tribal People Try Krispy Kreme Donuts for the First Time
About this video
Krispy Kreme donuts, 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 donuts?
Donuts are rings of enriched dough, deep-fried and glazed or sugared. Krispy Kreme and Dunkin' are the American names; the Portuguese, Poles and Indians all have their own fried-dough sweets.
Krispy Kreme has made its Original Glazed doughnut in Winston-Salem, North Carolina since 1937; the red 'Hot Now' sign means the doughnuts are coming off the line.
What to watch for
Fried dough in sugar is a language everyone speaks. The reaction is about how soft and how sweet — a glazed Krispy Kreme is much sweeter and lighter than anything from a village kitchen, and a few people find it too much after one.
The comparison they always make
Balushahi is the Punjabi cousin: fried, syrup-soaked, denser. Gulab jamun comes up too. Donuts win on softness and lose on staying power.
