Tribal People Try Pierogi For First Time!
About this video
In this Tribal People Try video the tribe meet european food 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 european food?
European food outside Italy and Britain: French cheese and pastries, German sausages and pretzels, Spanish paella and tapas, Greek gyros and feta, Swiss fondue, Scandinavian fish. Dairy-heavy, pork-heavy in places, and mostly mild.
What to watch for
Anything with melted cheese passes; anything fermented or cured — aged cheese, pickled herring, surströmming — does not. Paella is judged as a plain pulao; gyros as a kebab with yogurt sauce, which is high praise.
The comparison they always make
The tribe eat halal, so pork dishes are swapped for beef or chicken versions in the videos. Cured, cold, or sour foods have no village precedent and get the most cautious reactions.
This episode
It's the tribe's 8th european food video out of 9. They first tried it in January 2021 ("Tribal People Taste Test Dutch Stroopwafels"). The most-watched european food episode is "How Would a Tribal Person React to French Food?" (92.1K views). The video runs about 4 minutes and went up in March 2024.
