Food stalls...to die for!



Kolkata is full of hopping food stalls where you can find just about anything. Chai, fruit juices, samosas, rolls, and an assortment of different meals (usually a sauce with bread) are all prepared curbside, and stay busy through most of the day. We have eaten some delicious meals on rugged benches by the side of the road, holding the plate in one hand and eating with the other. The most delicious naan I have had on this trip came out of a 50 gallon Castrol oil barrel-cum-tandoor oven. In the afternoons, huge crowds gather around the carts for a quick cheap meal on the curbside...and by evening a single light bulb illuminates the area. It has been a delightful experience exploring the different carts and their delicious (!!) food.
