[quote=Anonymous]I lived all over India because my dad was in the military. My mom was an excellent cook and we were eating eating all kinds of regional foods.  From Nagaland to Goa. From Kerala to Rajasthan.  South Indian, North Indian, Kashmiri, Bihari, Gujarati, Naga, Assamese, UP, Punjab, parsi, anglo-indian.  Food from neighboring countries - Tibet, Nepal, Bhutan, Sri Lanka, Afghanistan.   Mom is Bengali, Dad is Maharashtrian - so it was an explosion of spices and cuisines. We are meat lovers so we were eating all kinds of seafood, lamb, goat, pork, fish, crabs as well as game - deer, hare, boar, partridges etc.

Then there as all the "continental food" that was made in the Military mess or restaurants - scotch eggs, shepherds pie, bbq ribs, russian salad, roast chicken, soups, breads, vegetable cutlet, puddings, burgers, french toasts,  cakes, pasteries, Indo-Chinese, pasta, mac and cheese, meatballs.  I grew up eating extremely good food.

Once I immigrated here - we have adopted Italian, Mexican, Korean, Thai, Chinese, American, French food in our rotation along with Indo-chinese and Indian.  But, food is at another level in India.
