And It’s Vegetarian Too!!!

It is probably noteworthy at this point to state that I’m not overly fixated on food normally… really… I just recognize that I have had several entries on meals and food and felt the need to state why. I suppose it’s because the food is one of those things that is perhaps the greatest illustrators of the differences between our two cultures. You eat food in India without silverware. The food is extremely flavorful… it makes our food taste like cardboard. But it’s all a little…um… “different”. Most Indian food is soupy, blended with rice, and impossible to eat “cleanly”. It is often spicey, and sometimes made from “questionable” items (I found the lower half of a goat’s heart in my mutton-biriani last trip… eew!). As a result, I highlight it quite a bit because it give you more than just a flavor of the food… it’s the flavor of India! Pictured here is Les Rassi chowing down on some tasty morsels from today’s fare for lunch. He’s pretty happy about it, if you can’t tell, and today’s lunch was completely vegetarian.
