Tribal People Try Soul Food

[@PgLangGang]

“A guilty conscience needs no accuser.” That’s a great saying.

[@P.S.Pandya]

Literal translation would make you amaze more as for it's back story.

[@Nat4Brendan]

@@P.S.Pandya Oooh please do tell!

[@oldironsides4107]

Why use a toilet when you can pee in someone’s butt. He says around 3 minute mark.

[@mishaalmohammed]

@@Nat4Brendan chor ki daadhi me tinka. The literal translation is : "a speck/ very tiny pebble in the beard of a thief. Basically it's saying the irritation caused by the speck/pebble to the thief. Though it links to varios stories in India, I am mentioning the one famously listed under Akbar-Birbal Tales. The emperor Akbar wanted to test Birbal’s intelligence, so one fine day, the king gave his ring to one of his court members and asked him to hide it and act as if it was stolen. When Birbal came, the king pretended about the stealing of his ring and wanted Birbal to find out the thief. Birbal was extremely clever. He knew that no one from outside the court could even reach closer to the king’s private space, and thus he asked for the place where it was last kept. He went near the almira where Akbar pointed that he had kept his ring before going to the lavatory. Birbal placed his ear on the almira, as if hearing it whisper a hint. After a while, he uttered, “the almira tells clearly, that the one who has stolen the ring, has a blade of grass in his beard”. The one who had the ring immediately reached for his beard, and exposed himself. Hence the proverb, “Chor ki dadhi mei tinka” with an English variant, “A guilty conscience needs no accuser”

[@P.S.Pandya]

@@Nat4Brendan To tell the long story short, an investigation was ongoing to find the thief in a king's court with all the suspectes lined up. A wise minister announced that the thief is in the plain sight because of the twig of grass in his beard. It was a bluff but the thief couldn't stop from checking his beard and hence was caught, hence the idiom "Chor kee daadhi main tinka", (Twig in the thief's beard).

[@ToniMcGinty]

Mustafa has been a lot more accepting of the food lately. Plus, he actually eats it, and not just the bread! I hope this is a sign of him actually broadening his horizons, and not that someone had words with him!

@@Nightmare-yx5dp Mebbe.

[@luna7157]

It may just be a matter of trust, now that he knows for sure that the crew generally wouldn't feed him impure ingredients. Mama Mustafa is still critical of overly decadent things (and rightfully so).

[@beau-urns]

He doesn’t like burgers, so he still picks at them. Early there wa a a lot of fast food which he doesn’t like. The more pure the food the more he eats. Also I think being an older gentleman at first it’s a bit shocking to be put in a room and fed food on camera. But he’s a wise man so he adapted quickly.

[@ToniMcGinty]

[@imgn8r715]

"A guilty conscience needs no accuser". The literal quote said here was " Chor ki daadi mey tinka (blade of grass in a thief's beard). This is the tale that the saying is said to have derived from: The Mughal emperor Akbar (in present day India) wanted to test his wise minister Birbal’s intelligence, so one fine day, the king gave his ring to one of his court members and asked him to hide it and act as if it was stolen. When Birbal came, the king asked him to find the thief. Birbal was extremely clever. He knew that no one from outside the court could even reach closer to the king’s private space, and thus he asked for the place where it was last kept. He went near the closet where Akbar pointed that he had kept his ring last. Birbal placed his ear on the closet, as if hearing it whisper a hint. After a while, he uttered, “the closet tells clearly, that the one who has stolen the ring, has a blade of grass in his beard”. The one who had the ring immediately reached for his beard, and exposed himself. Hence the proverb, “Chor ki dadhi mei tinka” with an English variant, “A guilty conscience needs no accuser”

[@minduniverse4506]

They did what they could with that they had.

[@BrutishYetDelightful]

One of my favorite memories of the two years we lived in SC was discovering tomato rice in the school lunchroom. That's some wonderful stuff. That school was also where I discovered dairy butter. We had only ever had margarine at home, but that school gave us little squares of real butter between two little pieces of wax paper. It was white as porcelain and mindblowingly delicious.

[@barrywhite6060]

That's one of the things I wish they could do is bring someone over who is native to the dish that will cook it the way it's meant to be. I'm sure they do the best they can, that part of the world has a lot of great dishes. There's just nothing like having someone native to the dish cooking it. I think back to my grandmother's cooking and the memories of the smells, I would never claim to cook as well as she did but I would feel honored to be able to cook for them. It's great seeing how food from all over the world reminds them of something they have there.😊

[@halleyreed7377]

Have you done Caribbean food yet? A couple of weeks ago I went to a local Hatian restaurant and it was some of the best food I've had in a long time!

This channel is so great this episode touches my heart because soul food is apart of my culture. I must say, that’s not how hush puppies got their name. Slaves weren’t allowed to hunt.
