A light-hearted restaurant moment has caught the internet’s attention after a short clip showed a man reacting to a popular food item in the most desi way possible. The video features a casual meal between
a man and a woman, but their honest and funny exchange turns the simple dining scene into a relatable comedy moment. What starts as a food suggestion quickly becomes a debate that many viewers find familiar and hilarious.
Shared on Instagram, the clip captures everyday banter that feels straight out of a regular Indian household. The man’s blunt reaction, paired with the woman’s insistence, struck a chord with viewers who have had similar experiences while eating out.
A Casual Meal Turns Funny
The video opens inside a restaurant, where a man and a woman are seated at a table. The woman, who is behind the camera, asks the man to eat the edamame in the bowl and not waste it. She sounds confident about the dish, encouraging him to give it a try. The man looks down at the bowl, clearly unsure about what he’s being served.
As the camera stays focused on him, he picks up the food and examines it closely, setting the stage for what comes next.
Edamame Or Just Pea Peel?
Their funny back-and-forth quickly becomes the highlight of the clip. The woman tells the man to try the edamame and says it’s really good. He looks confused and asks what it is. When she repeats that it’s edamame, he says the word again in disbelief before bluntly calling it pea peel. The woman insists that this is what it’s called, but he argues that the peas have been removed and only the shells are being served. Even after she tells him to stop, he keeps pointing it out, saying it’s nothing but pea peel and joking that people can call it edamame if they want.
The POV text on the video reads, “Bhai matar ke chilke ko English me bol kar bech re hai,” while the caption asks viewers, “Bhai ap btao yeh sahi h ya galat.”

Some viewers corrected the food detail, saying it’s snow peas, while others joked that their mothers would throw it in the trash. A few even shared how similar pea peels are cooked at home in pahadi-style dishes.
What Edamame Actually Is
Edamame refers to young green soybeans that are usually boiled or steamed and served in their pods. The beans inside are eaten, while the outer shell is typically discarded. Common in East Asian cuisine, edamame is known as a healthy snack rich in protein and fibre.
