We Took This Villager to Try Southern Style Smash Burger
About this video
Tribal People Try sits the tribe down with burgers. It's filmed in the village, not a studio, and what you see is what happened on the day.
What is burgers?
A burger is a ground-meat patty in a soft bun with cheese, lettuce, onion and sauce. It is American by fame, though the name comes from Hamburg; McDonald's, Burger King and Wendy's made it the world's fast food.
What to watch for
It is eaten with two hands and it drips, which is fine. What catches people is the patty: plain minced beef with only salt and pepper, where a village kebab would have onion, green chilli, coriander and garam masala worked through it.
The comparison they always make
Shami kebab in a bun is the natural comparison, and the tribe usually says the shami wins on flavour and the burger wins on the bun. Pakistani fast-food burgers already come with chutney and a fried egg, so the plain American one can feel bare.
