Villagers Try French Toast For First Time ! Tribal People Try French Toast 

I think they did have it, Babu and Raeen both mention a sweet thing on top that tasted a bit like honey. They may not have tasted maple before, so if not, it being similar to honey is a good guess!

No Cinnamon in it?. Canada puts Cinnamon inside with the Egg..fried.. then and Maple Syrup on top. This way may be less heavy on the stomach.

@@Music-Is-Real-Love Was there no cinnamon? I just assumed French toast batter always had milk, eggs, cinnamon and vanilla. At least if you order it in California, that's usually true.

knife wouldn't hurt

Agreed. It would be nice for those 3 men that french toast is made with beaten eggs & fried in butter or margarine.

Please Common Man Show start showing the process of making food!

Yea I doubt they try to make any of this on their own but I agree it would be cool to show how some of it was made to them.

Agreed. If they saw how simple this was to make, they would make it at home for their family members. You need to go a step beyond just letting them taste new foods and say "wow... this is good... it would be good for old people and young people alike." That can get boring. New day, different food to taste. Same reaction every time. In fact, why not have your cook give them a cooking class, so they can make these things themselves?

They recognize their typical foods, eggs, bread, ...

With pre made pre packaged, processed , animal proteins processing ,most urbanised people don’t have a clue about seasonal products ,real freshness , GM challenges,farmers subsidies, chemical seed protection against plant diseases and it goes on .Ignorance should be the “amazing” part about current food knowledge. This shows about cultural diversity and exploring foods of the world .Effectively travelling via taste even if a lot has to be compromised by varieties ,season availability , different cooking machines and philosophies ,regligion ,but it’s interesting stuff.

Butter and egg have a distinct taste that anyone can recognize tbh, so not that surprising but impressive nonetheless

It was a great breakfast food in the morning for my family when I was growing up as a "common man" in the Southern/Midwestern USA: my parents had little money, and French Toast could be easily made up from common household staples: Heat a greased skillet/frying-pan, mix up a batter of milk and eggs (with a little vanilla extract and some spices like cinnamon), dip sliced bread into it (my mother always collected and used all the old bread from the week or two before making French toast, which was not being eaten and was in danger of going stale), and then lay the battered bread onto the heated pan to toast, flipping the toast as it browns. We usually ate it with butter and maple syrup on top, or apple butter, or a mix of sugar and spices (cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg, etc.). I think you can probably top it with clarified butter and anything sweet that's available, though, and it'll work: honey, jam or jelly, perhaps a sweet chutney. We usually just ate the French toast by itself, with water or (rarely) fruit juice (orange juice), because my family was poor and there wasn't a lot of food available for us to serve with it back then, but in a breakfast or family restaurant, it's usually served with side-dishes of sausage or bacon, scrambled eggs (or other styles of eggs), and maybe hash-browned (fried) potatoes and/or chopped fresh fruit, with orange or other fruit juice to drink. But, that's a much bigger breakfast than my family could afford when I was growing up, except as a treat for a special occasion! (A French toast breakfast for my family was more often just a chance to make frugal use of old bread before it got stale!) Definitely good stuff, and I'm also glad they liked it! :)

Wish they were able to try it with syrup, cinnamon and powdered sugar.

@@AreUReady2Go exactly! This was like eating crepes and not having jelly/jam inside! ...from Wyoming USA 🇺🇸 🤠

Those both sound delicious!!

Thank you for your recipe. 😊

Ive never had it with syrup

I've never had it without syrup, or homemade syrup using brown sugar heated up in a pan. ...from Wyoming USA 🇺🇸 🤠

When I was a kid my grandma mixed white sugar, brown sugar and cinnamon in a small amount of hot butter and small amount of boiling water and mix it just a little then spread the mixture on the freshly made French Toast . It was so good but nowadays I use cinnamon, butter and real maple syrup served hot.

It has syrup or something like it

@@RosesAndIvy not the way they ate it, it's just egg and toast. You don't make it with syrup is an add on

@@chronicdose They said there was something sweet like honey on top, I'm guessing that was syrup

@@RosesAndIvy it is possible, it sure doesn't look like anything is on top, perhaps they just added a small amount before serving. t it should not be served with syrup rather the person who eats add syrup as needed else it will soak in and not be as good in my opinion, you don't pre-syrup pancakes either.

I would (and do) eat without the maple syrup, but it's just not the same! :)

To really do it right, you need a drop of vanilla extract and a little bit of cinnamon in the beaten egg. Then top with melted butter, warmed up maple syrup and a light dusting of powdered sugar on top. And for special occasions, a few strawberries or blueberries tossed on top, or on the side.

And French Toast is very easy to make from common household staples in the USA - I'm betting it's just as easy to make with ingredients found in their village: roti, clarified butter, milk, and eggs seem like familiar ingredients to the common men, and I imagine they've got some local sweet chutneys, and perhaps honey and other local ingredients that would be delicious as toppings for French toast! :)

Alexander the Great in particular sounds like a fantastic topic! I'm sure these fellows have at least a passing familiarity with Alexander, but I'm betting it's probably a topic that doesn't get as much attention in India as it would in an old-fashioned Western school (I think I'd be surprised if Alexander the Great gets any mention at all in most schools these days, and it's a fascinating topic which shaped the modern world as we know it today!)

Or the classic Maple syrup and waffles.

You should show them a video demonstrating exactly how maple syrup is made starting with tapping the trees and collecting sap, and then give them some genuine maple syrup to eat with French toast or waffles or pancakes. They would probably be amazed that watery liquid that oozes out of leafless trees in the winter tastes so good when it is concentrated by boiling.

Great Indian Empires like the Mauryan Empire had great trade with Rome so people back then would have known about after these big empires fell there would have been a significant drop in trade as well.

They already did

@@horizoon Oh, so they did. 6 months ago on their Common Man Show channel. Haven't got that far back through their vids yet. Thanks for the heads up.

Try brown sugar and butter. It's turns into a caramel like syrup right there on your plate.

That sounds SO GOOD! I need to try that !♥️

Et au Québec, on dit "pain doré"!

I wish you could make it for me. 😀

@@kathy2122 😆

Bread pudding is also a great way to use stale or dried out bread.

They have syrup, they're calling it honey.

Raeen describes a "garnish" that is sweet as honey, so it sounds like either syrup or honey was poured on top before they received the dish.

I have used honey when out of maple syrup.
