I just caught the Bizarre foods show on Travel channel hosted by Andrew Zimmern ( I hoped I spelled his last name right), and guess what, it was featuring the different types of food found in Delhi, India. Yeah!!!
They showed street food, five star restaurants, home cooked meals prepared by a Delhi local woman, and a Kashmiri feast hosted by one of the top designers of India, Rohit Bal.
Awesome…it was just great to see the streets of Delhi. Of course the food was the best part of the show, except a few things (liver, kidneys, and parts of lamb I don’t want to name
aye) But, they are delicacies, I hear people say, and I am not one to comment, especially when I haven’t eaten any of those.
Some of the restaurants featured in the show: Al Jawahar (opposite Jamma Masjid), Bukhara (inside the Maurya Hotel), and some nameless street vendors selling whipped creamy dessert, fruit sandwich (something new huh?).
Well, all in all, I just want to take the next flight home, where I could just dive into the sea of endless options available.
You can eat like a king on any budget. That is India!
Thanks Andrew, you rock! (I know you missed the Chaat, you could not eat because of the water used to prepare it, which was so not sterilized! But, in case you feel like eating it, you are welcome, I make a mean chaat! (eaten with Tangy tamarind sauce, and hot green pepper and garlic chutney, fantastic!)
