    A pretty authentic glimpse into the life of modest people in Pakistan.

      Recognized this guy from the start!

      He's Peer from the Reactistan channel that my wife introduced me to, overall pleasant videos, that thankfully don't live up to the usual "react" video style, of Pakistani "tribal people" trying mostly western foods. Thanks for sharing, nice to see this has taken off pretty quickly with him already having a quarter of the subscribers of the Reactistan channel!

      Hadn't heard of Peer or Reactistan before today. Reminds me of the late great Narayana Reddy, a.k.a. Grandpa Kitchen.

    For those of us who don't have the time (or tafus) on our hands, there's always Rotimatic.

      Order Rotimatic – Price Starting from $1289

      Oof! And that's just for a refurbished model. A brand new one costs over $1700 CAD.

      Still a pretty cool device, but the contrast between it and the submitted video, featuring a family still living in a mud-brick house, is remarkably drastic... almost depressingly so. Imagine what the family in the video could do with $1300. :(

      p.s. Another video on the channel shows more of a glimpse into the life and home of the YouTuber and his family: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ixbsh19igO8

        I have to say I highly enjoy the Reactistan youtube-channel where he first got exposed to making videos.

        Reaction videos definitely aren't my favorite, but these actually seem like genuine reactions to everyday things that shed light on who these individuals are and how they live.

          Reaction videos aren't my favorite either, but they are definitely a guilty pleasure that I occasionally binge on. And I especially enjoy ones where people are exposed to new, foreign (to them) foods, e.g. North Koreans try American BBQ and the followup NKs try American Wings. So thanks for making me aware of Reactistan... I will definitely be binging through their entire catalogue at some point. :P

          Edit: Just finished watching all the videos on the channel. They were fun and interesting. Thx! :)

          I also know him for the Reactistan channel, they did a really good job casting these people, they are genuine and funny, while having quite distinct personalities. The Burger King episode is hilarious, so many good quotes (“Half of the money goes to these restaurants the other half to doctors”).

    I was interested he talked about them not going off. I wonder if that's turmeric helping there with its antibacterial and antifungal properties. Anyway I'm going to go and make some for my breakfast.
