Tribal People Try Reese's and the Results Are Incredible!
About this video
Tribal People Try sits the tribe down with Reese's peanut butter. It's filmed in the village, not a studio, and what you see is what happened on the day.
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.
Reese's Peanut Butter Cups were first made in 1928 by H. B. Reese, a former Hershey dairy farmer, in his basement in Pennsylvania.
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.
