Here Are Top 8 Viral Food Videos That Dominated 2023
1. "Unbreakable" Hostel Paratha
In February 2023, a hilarious video of a woman hitting a stone-strong paratha against a table went viral on the internet. In the video uploaded on X (formerly known as Twitter), the woman is seen questioning the quality of the food served at her hostel. She is then heard saying, "Koi isko kaise khayega? (How will someone eat this)?" The funny part was when one of the X users asked when the paratha was made, and the woman replied that it was served in the breakfast and was made just an hour before serving.
2. US Woman Trying Samosa Chaat and Biryani
In January 2023, a hilarious video of a US woman particularly pleased after trying Samosa Chaat and Biryani went viral. Taking to her Instagram handle, she shared a clip of herself talking to her viewers where she can be heard saying, "Indian food will always slap. Every time. You hear me?" She then apologized for failing to pronounce the names correctly. The video shows a delectable samosa chaat topped with chutneys, chopped onions, and sev. The chicken tikka biryani also looked delicious. Her reaction while eating a spoonful of chaat is something that we cannot miss. While immersing in the flavours of Indian food, the woman can be heard saying, "The flavour be flavouring." The funny part was when she used the word "slap" to describe the taste of the food, which in modern language means on point.
