The Saravana Bhavan outlet in T.Nagar chennai charges according to weight (visited 3 years ago). it was very funny to see some students trying to overload their plates with light weight dishes like crispies and poha items !...Russia is still unconquered frontier for our curry kitchens i think. Have heard students wail about food problems there.YOSEEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15364914380063474591noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4357977015036278715.post-31298671661397365212009-02-13T21:17:00.000+05:302009-02-13T21:17:00.000+05:30SATYA, Thanks for encouraging words.

Take an ordinary beverage, there are at least half a dozen specifications : Sugar or sweetner, black or creamed, latte or whitener, Decaf. or regular, Standard,large or Jumbo. Might as well forget it and reach for a bottle of cola ( which again is available in Regular, Diet,sodium free etc !)YOSEEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15364914380063474591noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4357977015036278715.post-25516555571327361722009-02-13T17:12:00.000+05:302009-02-13T17:12:00.000+05:30A very interesting and informative post!

I did not know vegetarian food has come so far in European countries.Though we are omnivores, we will definitely try and visit HILTL if we ever go to Zurich.It sounds fascinating,especially the mode of payment.My husband had gone to Russia(USSR in those days),in 1982,with his colleagues for 3 months.His vegetarian colleagues had nearly starved.When they asked for veg food, the waiters would just take out the meat or fish peices from the dish.In desperation, they had asked the company,ONGC, to make arrangements to send dal, rice etc to them.Otherwise,they said they would be coming back in coffins.Rwitoja Mukherjeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02364314064124051445noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4357977015036278715.post-38400649330202800112009-02-12T15:14:00.000+05:302009-02-12T15:14:00.000+05:30Always a pleasure to read your blogs.It makes me f...Always a pleasure to read your blogs.<BR/><BR/>It makes me feel aaaaaaaahhhhhhh nice and relaxed.<BR/><BR/>We have been globe trotting since 1970, and you have described our experiences perfectly.<BR/><BR/>After decades of telling people to what to exclude, now we have to beg them to let us have milk and cheese!Satyaskhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05023386314150664593noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4357977015036278715.post-65771701347164838092009-02-12T14:29:00.000+05:302009-02-12T14:29:00.000+05:30Dibs, "people who eat anything with legs exc...Dibs, "people who eat anything with legs except table & chair"( an old tamil gag !),perhaps believe that if it cant talk, it is vegetable !YOSEEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15364914380063474591noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4357977015036278715.post-58297110673559834032009-02-12T13:24:00.000+05:302009-02-12T13:24:00.000+05:30I wish I could meet that god(father)!!!

"Egg can ? white meat can ? shrimp can ?" :-)( in Indonesia,dried shrimp is considered a garnish like our mustard seeds, so they never count it as flesh !) Even in our Bengal, Fish is veg. Different folks,different strokes !....orange in soups adds a nice zest. a niece recently gave a tip that adding orange juice to Palak Soup adds so much life to it. Must try.YOSEEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15364914380063474591noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4357977015036278715.post-55873983378086977462009-02-10T07:23:00.000+05:302009-02-10T07:23:00.000+05:30I will never forget my first time experience in a ...I will never forget my first time experience in a food court here.."I said vegetarian" and the lady very politely asked Duck and salad can? I was 'oooo' for a while! then I politely declined the offer and left the place with a loaf of bread from a nearby bakery. Enjoyed reading your adventure..btw I had made pumpkin orange soup last year and we enjoyed that combo!Lakshmihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03954537572297159735noreply@blogger.com
