It is all in the name

You can call pav-bhaji … bhaji-pav (only coz I have come to accept the fact that all of us cannot be blessed)
But you do not, I repeat, do SIMPLY not call Vada Pav … Pav Vada…

It is an insult to that amazingly delightful of dishes.

And will someone please open a tapri where I can get a regular supply of the above mentioned yummilicious thingy in deprived Dilli? With Garlic chutney? And meetha chutney? And onions? And green chillies? Droolllll ...*

Hyde: That err ... kinda sounded real real gross.

Cherie: You are just as bad as hyde. ok, maybe a wee bit better.

Nemesis: blast that freud fella, he is da man who ruined alice in wonderland for me... and many other such what-i-used-to-think-innocent poems :(

jedi: the point is we demand respect for being called what we are meant to be called. will i or wont i eat is not the point of contention here.

laloo: yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah! and pani puri and shree krishna. shlurp!

arunz: watsaa?!

Doby Dear, the bhajiya pav is another personal favourite...*yummminings* Oh hell, you are gonna get me started all over again...argggggggggggghhh.

Hyde: with a name like that, his books would possibly be under scrutiny by the big daddy... you know, in case he was hiding ways to make bombs behind love stories.

austere: jumbo, not so jumbo, maxi, mini ... kuch bhi chalega

elysia: yes. yes. yes. please.

RS: yo man, am gonna get me a joint i tell ya. as soon as i marry mister money bags. ok, am married already, so i guess i will have to lure a rich old bugger to have an affair or something... lemme see...

Hyde said...

Joint as in eating place? For a moment, I wondered what happened to you!
