so whats funny today is that i havent had dinner last night and no breakfast in the morning either and here I am writing about what i love alot...food!
i am not hungry...
so this is one of the most amazing things i have ever had in my life! it was called a mud pie...and perhaps was the real mud pie we have ever had!..well, mud is symbolic...can represent the gooiness and texture of mud...but here is another interpretation (so stupid we never thought of it)...that the chocolate pie was baked in a mud case...my second reaction like, 'wow, what fusion'...i dint think of a chocolate pie which is so western in our earthern bowl...my first reaction of course was the excitement to end dinner with chocolate...ya in the hotel in Jodhpur, we were not getting chocolate desserts everyday...but this was the best...i ended up having three of these (but friends dissuaded for the fourth!) and little dinner or maybe no dinner...its not new...but this is fusion and the beauty of living in a country where east meets west and north meets south....
question: is today's earthern ware eco-friendly compared to using normal dishes and washing them and reusing them? we also had chai in kulhars and the ceramic oldie tea cups with saucers...i opted the second coz i thought its more eco-friendly coz it gets washed then thrown. i mean discarding earthern stuff is good for the environment but we never discard it correctly....it ends up in the garbage dumps....
well, kulhar itself...or earthern itself resonates of how class meets taste...and how tastes of social classes change....maybe they used it coz it was economical and easy to recycle...but today they like it coz its classy, its upmarket.
