Comments on: India’s Delicious Products – Or, Why Can’t We Get That Here? http://gorigirl.com/indias-delicious-products-or-why-cant-we-get-that-here intercultural relationship stories and advice Fri, 10 Feb 2012 08:32:35 -0700 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.3 By: Assel http://gorigirl.com/indias-delicious-products-or-why-cant-we-get-that-here#comment-4967 Assel Thu, 22 Jul 2010 18:59:33 +0000 http://gorigirl.com/indias-delicious-products-or-why-cant-we-get-that-here/#comment-4967 Hi there, A friend of mine sent your blog link to me to get a virtual taste of India. I've been to India, Rajasthan a couple of years ago, and now planning my 2nd trip though for much a longer period. Actually, I was caught by a Coffe Bite pic. I first tried it this spring while living in Latvia ( Baltic Europe ). However, I did not see it here in Kazakhstan ( or I was just not looking for ) I must admit, a candy has really embraced me - yes, yes, embraced! I can't find other words to describe its smell and taste. So thanks for posting it here. I will be eager to get in India asap and bribe my friends =p Cheers, Assel Hi there,

I'll go trash my graduate texts in economic development & international trade then - no need to keep them as reference texts when the reality of it all is so simple. Why did I even bother getting that masters degree in economics anyways? Seriously, go somewhere else if you want to just write out simplifications and lies on economics - not here, on the blog of an economist. I have a zero toleration policy for that sort of BS. Oh.

I have never had those three items and want to try them Right now!!! I must admit, I enjoy chilli millies which are like gummy snacks with a spice to them. And, I've been eating more mangos (although I know that they never compare to the ones grown in Pakistan), and I can't seem to find good "american Dates," anywhere. Oh, I now put a pinch of cardamom in every dessert: "American Apple pie, anyone?" It just enhances the taste! I can’t believe that you got no responses to that.

I got very sick in India…may or may not been because of street food, but the pani puri was worth it! (and btw, the cane juice – at least the one I had – not worth the sickness!) Your Indian grocer may sell the pani puri shells. If you're interested I can give you a basic way to make it at home. it's not the same, but it'll give you the idea.

We have a strict rule in this house that frooti may only be purchased if Mazza is not available. Very strict rule.

I have the same issue with sev as you mention – not being able to stop eating it!

Never had coffy bite but next time somebody asks if I want something from India, that's what I'll ask for!

Actually, there was about a day where all I ate was Parle-G and toast since I was so queasy. I became a big fan of the fruit jelly that's a completely unnatural shade of reddish pink...can't remember the brand name right now, though.
