Today I did the inevitable, or shall I call inedible...
Anyways, the whole thought behind writing this post is about a food which many people relish and they call it 'Curd Rice'.
It is a very common sight to see people really enjoying their share of Curd Rice in office cafeteria, restaurants, roadside eateries etc.
As the name suggests, this is a meal made out of rice, curd and some spices added to it. Honestly, I never quite fascinated it, maybe coz it looks so white and all mixed up. I like my food to look beautiful at least...
Over the last few days I had been contemplating with the idea of trying this food at my office cafeteria, but never could I bring myself to the section in the cafeteria where they serve it, so today I decided and pushed myself to buy myself a plate of Curd Rice.
When I was heading towards the counter I was looking around hoping not to see anyone familiar and be a joke for trying out Curd Rice after staying in this part of India for nearly five years. To my relief there was no familiar face in sight.
So there is goes, my first plate of Curd Rice and possibly my last. The first dig at the plate nearly left me nauseating. Well, to be honest, the food is not bad tasting at all, but certainly not for my palette. Two spoons of the dish and I was done.
Well, today, possibly for the first time I could be counted amongst the 'Food Wasters' in the cafeteria.
I don't wish to cause any offence to people who love this food because maybe this calls for an acquired taste just like 'Beer' or 'Wine' but then again I still haven't quite acquired the taste for 'Beer', guess that doesn't offend Beer-lovers!
