Whichever land
it be, whatever the eating preferences be, whatever the personality
traits be, none and really no one can claim to have no philosophy on
food. Ask anybody be it your mom or your girlfriend or boyfriend for
that matter, all and absolutely all will have their proprietary expert
comments on the subject.
Lets not
go to ____, they serve too desi style or not that place the atmosphere
is uncool, too much salt, who eats this flavour, is this Chinese
… to spicy, must be that indochini stuff. Remarks like this are
a norm, which clearly reflect the cuisine fusion we are accustomed to.
For the privilege
of those who are not very clear on what a cuisine is, here is a quick
definition: Cuisine refers to specific set of cooking traditions and
practices often associated with a specific culture. It is this association
with culture that demands attention. Eating defines cultural habits
and that is the reasoning behind demarcation of various cuisines across
different geographies. There is a Chinese cuisine, an Italian one, continental
and we have our own Indian cuisine as well.
The Indian cuisine
specifically includes the use of various spices during the cooking procedure.
Vegetarianism is a practice linked with Indian cuisine and the ingredients
are mostly home grown. With this description or rather outline of the
term cuisine and particularly Indian cuisine in forefront, how many
of you can claim to eat the real Indian. Guess no one. For us as well,
breakfast now includes cornflakes or breads or salads, etc. Beverages
like packed juices / drinks have replaced home made lassi. Eating out
does not only means thinking about an appropriate venue, but also importantly
relates to finalizing the cuisine of the day. It is no longer just Indian,
but a variety of as many. And this is not true for just us, even outside
India foodies have accepted the global culture of eating delicious cuisines
from all across. No wonder, the Banarasi pan is as famous in London
as in Banaras.
