When my sister Em, brother-in-law Rob and I went to India, we sampled lots of different foods. At first I thought my stomach wouldn’t handle the food and spices very well, but it was actually much easier than I thought to adjust to Indian food. Maybe the fact that most of it was vegetarian was a plus. We stopped several times a day for “tea” (chai), which is typical in India, maybe because it used to be a British colony? While in India, we ate off banana leaves instead of plates or placemats. I bought lunch for eight people, and the bill only came to $3.00! Rob also ate raw coconut at one point. Em and I stayed on the safer side.
Tomorrow, I am going with my friend Brent to an Indian festival here in Peoria, at the Riverfront. We’ll see how the food is. Brent’s never had Indian food, so I will be happy to see what he thinks of it.
What about you, my friends? Do YOU like Indian food?
