There are many things I found inspiring about my recent trip to india, but the food, was, by far, one of the most fascinating experiences.
The images and dialog below represent my experiences, as a western both observing and participating in meals during my travels. One should note, that food styles vary widely from area to area in India- East to West, North to South- and each set has different meal time practices, values, flavors and tastes.

- My ‘Tour’ Guide
-
- Calcutta style Daal is delicious and very soup like

- Though many tourist sites do not recommend doing so, I had no trouble eating fresh fruit.
-
- This was my favorite breakfast, a sweet type of grain with honey, nuts, and fruit
-
- If you can’t tell from the plethora of images you are about to see of me and this coconut: I LOVE coconut water!
-
- If you state that you love something enough, eventually someone offers to buy you another….
-
- During celebration days, meals are served on banana leaves
-
- These leaves were ‘sewn’ together with small twigs, a totally bio degradable one time use plate!
