My food in Kolkata India

[Mrs Langtrees]

This is my third trip to Kolkata and this trip I am going to start trying some of the roadside restaurants. I thought it may be interesting to do a food thread. I will start taking photos and try to post each day.
They are called street stalls or footpath eating.
Yesterday I had a delicious spicy omelette for breakfast, the cost was 10 rupees which is about 20 cents.I went back this morning and it was less spicy, still nice, but I preferred the medium spicy from yesterday,
A lot of the street stalls have jars of biscuits, yesterday I bought 4 different ones. 6 biscuits was 12 rupees that is about 30 cents. Everyone was delicious, please do not tell Kate as not part of my diet plan, but I needed to try just to tell you. The 5 varieties I tried where shortbread, crispy like out anzac biscuits. Not so much sugar and savory or sweet they tasted better than any biscuit we get in Australia. I will take photos later.

Sweets in Kolkata are awesome. The nicest I have tasted anywhere, they also look really nice. The photo of the store is 1's of years old and a instution in Kolkata. The sweets are not as sugary as ours, and I believe a lot are plant based so very little flour is used. I am hoping to have some cooking lessons in these delights whilst I am still in Kolkata.

Oh Wow ...Heaven right there

I just went to my favourite food stall for my daily omelet and they were closed. A local close by noticed and showed me the way to another good food stall for my daily omelet. the people in Kolkata are friendly, courteous & wonderful and my daily 2 egg omelet for for 40 cents was to die for. I have medium spicey and it really helps to start the day with protein.

 

[Mrs Langtrees]

Little cafes Australia style are expensive Medium cappuccino is 195 rupees that 10 x one egg omelet or $4.00 in Aussie money

 

[Historian]

Are you paid by the Indian Tourism Commission or something? I can see the slogan now; "Get India into you."

 

[Mrs Langtrees]

I felt a bit ripped off with my 10 x 1 egg omelet coffe so decided to go back to my omelet roadside restaurant for lunch.I had delicious chicken curry rice and verges with water and a omelette cost 8 x 1 or 80 rupees $1.60 put money.This is first time done the stall food in India I have a pretty strong digestion system being bought up on a farm I got to eat plenty of dirt as a kid and mum said I loved eating coal from the fireplace up until 4 yrs old probably why I love burnt toast.

What a good idea? I an't see them paying for advertising on Talking sex though a escort agency that specializing in escorts for the overseas visitors

 

[Historian]

YOu could open a brothel called The Rock Hard Cafe, another one called The Calmer Sutra, have a restaurant next to it called The Kurma Sutra and then a fourth one called Around the World in 80 Lays!

It's thirsty work so you should drink one of these

 

[Historian]

I must confess to being a bit surprised that they give you a plastic spoon after all that stainless steelware. This Indian inventor has come up with a great alternative to disposable cutlery! He needs good financial backers though. Check it out. They'd make great Christmas presents especially if you've kids.

 

[Mrs Langtrees]

Festival sweets one of the team bought in for me to try delicious

Was thinking the smae thing, you just beat me to it

 

[Penny S]

Hey great that you liked things so far, and you might wanna push a little more to try out some exiting things like say have a visit to Victoria Memorial, Prinsep Ghat, Eden Gardens, have some Puchkaa/ Golgappa, if you are sugar free person then try one of those sugar free Kalakand and Aloo posto & aloo sidhoo (one of my favorite)


That's Kolkata for you !
THE CITY OF JOY !

When I went to Varnissa I took photo of the largest lemons I’d seen Twitter told me they were a Pomelo .I bought one and my guest house prepared it very sweet lemon and a texture like grapefruit love to see in Australia as very nice as a salad flavor.
