Tribal People Try Peanut Butter Nuggets for the First Time
About this video
In this Tribal People Try video the tribe meet peanut butter 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 peanut butter?
Peanut butter is ground roasted peanuts, sometimes with sugar and salt, spread on bread or eaten from the jar. It is an American staple that barely exists in Pakistani kitchens, and Reese's cups pair it with chocolate.
What to watch for
Sticky, thick and salty-sweet, it coats the mouth in a way nothing local does, and the first spoonful is always followed by reaching for water. Peanut butter with chocolate divides people sharply.
The comparison they always make
Peanuts are a winter street snack, roasted in the shell. Grinding them into a paste and spreading it on bread is a new idea, and the sweetness is the part that seems odd.
