Foodie delights!!!!!!!

Food drives me! I ve oft repeated this to my friends: People eat to live I live to eat! There’s so much variety in it.. you can never get bored! Its like walking into your wardrobe and finding a new set of clothes every time.. ‘cos no preparation can be identical ever.. cooking food is like composing music, the amateur ear (like me) will really never see the intricate differences in a composition when played twice. An old hand though will notice that the timing and the tune and the pitch and the etc etc etc all play a role. It’s the same with food.. The definition of identical food for the larger public is : just the same ingredients.. but ohh! How wrong that is! The quantity down to the smallest milligram brings a flavor change, well keep that constant then the timing makes all the difference, putting the onions before the tomato or putting the olives before the jalapenos.. and timing out and letting the dish stay in the oven for 5 minutes instead of 4! Yupp it all gives a different flavor.. and the best part of food.. EVERYONE enjoys good food!

No wonder social events largely revolve around food.. that’s one of the reasons I think that food is highly under rated. And connected to this is the art of cooking! Yes indeed its an art! The line: “A way to a man’s heart is through his stomach” is such a lie, because the way to ANYONEs heart is through their stomach.. Cook a good dish, then you can be audience to some real well-meaning compliments coming straight from the heart. Oh! There lies such great happiness in it.. and above it all it’s a creation everytime I cook. Even if its karela fry (bitter gourd) cook it with the actual happiness of creating something: its bound to taste good. The cooking shows especially are such a pleasure!! They exhibit soo many ideas and so many possibilities. Its like traveling around the world through the cuisines of the world..

But yeah coming back to the maiden topic of food.. well anyone who doesn’t enjoy food and doesn’t identify with the pleasures of trying new cuisines and new recipes is living half a life and that too the boring half! And for anyone who knows people who are living the boring half well well well, its time to introduce them to the delights of the tongue.. force them into the addiction that food is and they re bound to thank you for it! So go according to the cook book.. or invent your food.. or visit the an unique cuisine restaurant and go a la carte.. or the road side vada pav.. take it with the wine.. or the sparkling water.. or the chaas.. or the jaljeera the varieties unlimited and since the possibility of you eating a dish tasting the EXACT SAMEs really limited.. savor every dish you ever eat.. kal wahi ho na ho!! Happy exploring!!! Hasta la vista! Me off to eat.. or rather experience food!!
