FOOD FOR THOUGHT
There was a time when I could eat everything sweet, especially chocolate all day every day and could never have enough of it. This should’ve been around the time when I was 5 or six…..
Fast forward 5 years and Dosa became the go-to thing… it was always cheese dosa and I would ONLY have it with chutney and hated sambar. Even idlis were always turned down no matter how they were presented. Again, I could have it for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Yet another five years later everything was about junk food, street food and mainly Chinese and chaat. As someone who had never liked hot beverages, I found comfort in coffee.
And then at age of 20… When I came to college, Idli sambar became a staple breakfast and lemon tea became an alarm in a cup. I can no more eat something extra sweet. Home-cooked dishes that I was averse to, eventually became comfort food. There are so many dishes that grew over me. Maybe I acquired taste or maybe I grew up … who knows?
