She was in hibernation for the last 3 months. School was taking a toll on her and the internet was a blackhole. In this period of seclusion she had a lot food and still stayed as light as a paper doll. The food though wasn't exactly conventional, they were what you would call "weird" combinations. But she absolutely loved it.
A few of the delicacies she devoured were -
1.French fries dipped in Coca Cola
The contrast of the salty deep fired potato sticks with the sweet fizzy slightly acidic fiery coke is actually quite delightful. In fact while she was searching for people who shared her singular tastes, she found a lot of people who shared her liking for this but unfortunately like most things in her life they were all on the internet.
2.Glucose biscuits dipped in Guava juice
Her friend actually showed this to her, she was absolutely disgusted at first. But she tried and it was actually pretty good. When you think about it the mix is sort of a no brainer. The biscuits are essentially like a slightly sweet and crunchy bread and the juice is sweet and creamy. When the biscuits are dipped in the juice, it gets perfectly coated, but it doesn't get soggy. The biscuit retains it's crunch and the juice gives it the much needed moisture without making it soggy. She was delightfully surprised with burst of flavour and contrasting textures that she tasted. While the others around her jeered at her liking for her friends breakfast snack she didn't mind. her mind had just been opened to a new flavour.
3. Grilled cheese with Aloo Bhujia (Spicy potato noodles)
She absolutely loved grilled cheese, I mean who doesn't. It was her go to snack, it was easy to make and insanely delish. And the endless number of combinations with grilled cheese, oh so limitless. Out of all of them her favourite had to be the one she made with the Aloo Bhujia. It's a quintessential element in Indian street food. The potato is cut up like vermicelli and deep fried and heavily seasoned with indian spices, both of the spicy and sour quality. She actually discovered this combo by chance. While assembling her lazy saturday brunch grilled cheese she happened to spy a packet of the bhujia and she thought why not. The crisp of the bhujia slightly softens in the grilling process, but the flavour it imparts elevates the sandwich to a whole other level. It's a delightful combination she's told one a many about.
4. Berry gelato with shaved parmesan
As odd as it sounds it's actually pretty great, according to her that is. This pairing is her latest discovery. The cold sherbetish texture of the gelato goes well with the slightly chewy parmesan. The acidic tartness of the gelato plays well with the mild saltiness of the parmesan shavings. She describes the combination as a quirkier version of vanilla ice cream with chocolate sprinkles.
