Tribal People Try Shepherd's Pie for the first time
About this video
A first taste of british food in the village. This Tribal People Try episode does what the channel always does: put something new in front of people who cook every meal from scratch and let them talk.
What is british food?
British food: full English breakfast, fish and chips, Sunday roast, shepherd's pie, scones and cream, Cornish pasties, Marmite, mushy peas. The British ruled here for ninety years and left behind tea, biscuits and bakery cake, but not the dinners.
What to watch for
Roast dinners and pies make sense — meat, potatoes, gravy. Baked beans on toast is puzzling, Marmite is a genuine shock, and cold custard-based desserts are met with more caution than hot ones.
The comparison they always make
Tea with milk, plain cake rusk and 'chicken patties' are the British inheritance in Pakistan. The savoury dishes are new, and the general verdict is 'good but where is the masala'.
