Tribal People Try Shrimp and Grits for the First Time | See Their Hilarious Reactions!
About this video
Soul food, 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 soul food?
Soul food is the cooking of Black communities in the American South: fried chicken, collard greens, mac and cheese, cornbread, candied yams, black-eyed peas. It is slow, generous, seasoned food built to feed a table.
What to watch for
This is the American cuisine that lands best in the village, because it is built the same way — long cooking, pork-free versions are easy, greens stewed with something smoky, beans and rice. Sweet dishes like candied yams are the exception.
The comparison they always make
Collard greens cooked down with onion is saag by another name, and black-eyed peas are lobia. The tribe recognises the logic even when the seasoning is new.
