6/19 Here comes the gol-gappa seller/ He brings gol-gappa to us/ He
sings in every street, making people smile as he walks/ Look,
look, here he comes!
\_ I'll bite. What's a gol-gappa?
\_ indian lyrical gangster
\- gol gappa = photchka = pani puri
\- gol gappa = phutchka = pani puri
where is that from? --psb
\_ there's a link to an article about indian street
food on the abcnews link below.
\-"When street food is done properly," he says,
"it's the most delicious food you can imagine.
^^^-> "Amen" --psb
Also the comment associating a particular food
with a time of year is really much truer there
than here. things are more seasonal rather than
year-around ... and have much more taste.
indian food here is hobbled by vegetables here
being tasteless or really expensive. --psb |
