Tribal People Try Tortilla Soup
About this video
Tribal People Try sits the tribe down with bread. It's filmed in the village, not a studio, and what you see is what happened on the day.
What is bread?
Bread varies more than almost any food: French baguettes, sourdough, Italian focaccia, German rye, American sliced white, Middle Eastern pita. Each is judged in these videos against the roti and naan the tribe eats three times a day.
What to watch for
Crust is the difference. Village breads are soft and pliable; a baguette is hard outside and airy inside, and sourdough is sour on purpose, which needs explaining. Butter on bread is welcome; bread on its own is not a meal.
The comparison they always make
The tribe are bread experts. Roti from a tandoor, naan, paratha, makai ki roti — they know exactly what good bread is, and they grade foreign loaves accordingly.
