Tribal People Try Nacho Chips for the First Time
About this video
French fries, 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 french fries?
French fries are potato batons deep-fried until golden — Belgian or French depending on who you ask, American by volume. Loaded fries, curly fries and Canadian poutine (fries, gravy and cheese curds) are the variations that show up in the videos.
What to watch for
Everyone likes a fried potato. The reaction is about seasoning: plain salted fries can seem underdone to people used to chaat masala on everything, and poutine's gravy over chips is a genuine puzzle.
The comparison they always make
Aloo is the village's everyday vegetable, fried, curried, stuffed into parathas. Chips with salt is the mildest possible version of a potato they already love.
