Indian is known for its unique food. And with good reason - it is absolutely delicious.
There is one item that our cook makes into salty strips that taste somewhat like bacon - it is "bitter gourd". It's just one of the many foods that is both tasty and exotic here. Click on the image above and check it out.
Also, mangoes are a huge part of the diet here, and lime juice is featured in various forms (lime soda sweet, lime soda salt, sweet lime juice, fresh lime water, etc.) It's great being in India as a fan of the lime, which I definitely am.
On the other hand, I'm just not sure I have ever understood what redeeming qualities there are in a papaya. I don't see any. Many Indians do, though....
