We recently discovered a few new edibles that we added to our roster of what we could snack on when we are out of ideas -
1. Fresh (as it gets) Mozzarella on Herb Crackers
2. Boudin Crisps with Mozzarella and tomato and little bit of olive oil
3. Well done, nut endowed rice kheer with simple syrup or a Gulab Jamun added on top
4. Taak Bhat (Buttermilk and Rice) with Pringles crushed on it along with fried chilli
5. Bok choi in garlic sauteed in olive oil topped with fresh moong sprouts
Amazingly, we recently encountered some true 'mawa cake' at an island resort in Malaysia amidst the din of continental breakfast items.
Some of best memories of a mawa cake are from a 'Sasania Bakery' in Fort Area in former Bombay. It came with a couple pieces of dry fruit stuck on top.
Now craving some Pune Cantonment Patties. Or some sabudana wadas.
Since neither is accessible I will craft a Bombay Bhel shortly.
I like chocolates. Godiva Dark with Almonds - not sure of the naked woman on the horse to be the icon of some choice cocoa based products but tastes good. Started in Belgium but now owned by some Turks. Cadburys - Fruit and Nut Milk Bars - awesome combination of dried fruit pieces along with a medley of nuts makes your toungue dance - started by a Brit now owen by Kraft USA. Lindt Hazelnut spheres - made by a Swiss confectioner are divine balls that melt in your mouth with a lingering nutty taste Ghirardelli Milk Crisp Squares - crunchy and light these milk squares are easy on the palate but pack some serious calories - all good I say! Originally founded by an Italian who moved around till he landed in SF Bay today also owned by the Swiss Lindt empire.
I think I saw a sabudana wada mix somewhere in a store. Maybe your local Patel has to get up to speed.
