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!

I'm an NRI and we din't get frooti in dubai…on our trips here, my sister and i would shyly plague the stewardess's to ply us with all the frooti boxes they could…we would horad n take them back home )
Wasn't a big fan of maggi but just ordered me some!! u evil temptation causing blogger u… melody jingle is so…

My husband's parents always pick up Parle-G's for morning tea when we go shopping with them here in the US, so there's at least one couple based out of India who like them.

Somebody mentioned Parle-G biscuits. They are meant for little kids and have a picture of a cute kid on the package. I have yet to come across a grown Indian in the US whose eyes don't light up at the sight of those. Interestingly no adult in India cares too much for them. Nostalgia, perhaps.
