Tribal People Try YouTube Rewind 2021
About this video
In this Tribal People Try episode it's pancakes. The tribe look it over, ask the questions anyone would, and then taste it and give the honest answer.
What is pancakes?
American pancakes are thick, fluffy discs of leavened batter, cooked on a griddle and stacked with butter and maple syrup. French crêpes and English pancakes are thinner; Dutch baby pancakes puff in the oven.
What to watch for
Sweet bread for breakfast is the idea to get past. Once it is treated as a dessert rather than a meal, most people enjoy it. Maple syrup reads as an unfamiliar kind of sweet — thinner and woodier than the sugar syrups used for jalebi and gulab jamun.
The comparison they always make
A paratha with sugar or a meetha paratha is the nearest thing, and it gets mentioned every time. The fluff, from baking powder, is what the village version lacks.
