The kind of food we eat represents our upbringing, and the kind of foods we like reflect our personality. The art of divulging one’s personality from the kind of food one like to eat is something I’m interested in lately and hope do some good research on it when I get time(which unfortunately I don’t think I’ll get in 12th - must wait till college:/).
Okay, done with the totally unrelated note to the topic. Each one has his own tastes and I’m suprisied by the variety of tastes people have. I earlier used to say to my friends’How can you like/dislike that’. But now I’ve come to accept that everyone has different tastes, which can’t be changed easily, and accepted that yellow dal will be one of my mom’s favourite dishes(thankfully we don’t allow her much chance to cook it), my best friend will never ever be hooked on to non-vegetarian food etc.
I am a fitness freak, but have never bothered what I ate. I dunno why, maybe I should now after reading this review.
So here are my favourite dishes, atleast one for each category.
Non-Vegetarian
There’s life beyond Chicken you know. Pork and Beef are the best that a Non-Vegetarian meal has to offer. Whether it be Pork on top of a Dominos Pepperoni Pizza, beef in Hot Dogs I ate in Italy, Pork cooked with some exotic Chinese sauces etc. So called Non-Vegetarians don’t really know what they are missing if they don’t have dishes that include Pork and Beef.
(Note - Unfortunately beef isn’t easily available in India, so only if you’re lucky enough to have been abroad a few times, you can have it)
Vegetarian
Although I dislike most vegetarians food, especially the green ones(and they’re supposed to be healthy:(), some dishes do really have a unique taste and there own charm. Home-made Rajma with Paranthas(must be cooked in lots of ghee) and Dal Makhini with Na’an at any good resturant are the top two of my list. Another great one is the Aloo Tikki though it doesn’t quite match up with the above two.
Fruit
Which fruit do I like the best? Hard to say, as it’s often a nice fruit chat made by mom that I eat. But I do like grapes(both green and black) , stawberries (not easily available) and guavas the best. Unlike in food dishes, where I’m a bit picky, I eat ALL, and I mean ALL types of fruits. Yay.
Except papaya, I dunno why. And it’s supposed to be the healthiest fruit EVER. Boy my eating habits really suck.
Drink(Carbonated and Juices)
Among carbonated, I don’t drink Coke anymore, never had a thing for orange-coloured drinks(they color your tongue. d’yah know). That leaves only Sprite and 7Up, both of them I like very very much.
Among juices, it’s good old lemon juice(nimbu pani) in summers(the greatest rehydration drink ever), and orange juice in winters.
Snacky Stuff
Just made this category so that I could mention Kurkure, a spicy delight. Shame it makes the throat go hoarse:(
I won’t write a review on Ten Least Favourite Food Items as I think it’s really lame topic, and I’m sure bitter gourd couldn’t taste any better if you’d come across it, five years into being trapped under an earthquake rumble.
PS: Ten comments again, please?:-D
