Let’s stop at alphabet C today…
Actually I had planned a different Country beginning with C,
cooked it too but then Canada kept popping in my head continuously!
My fascination was because I heard my teacher talk about the
country from inside the class when we were doing world geography. Either she
forgot to throw me out or gave up on me realizing that I will never be able to
draw maps to her satisfaction! Then there were Mills n Boon and instead of
reading the antics of the fair damsel and the dark hero and the villain thrown
in I used to love to read about the countryside….!!
Gastronomically I got
interested since Manali went to Canada for a year long course. Vivek, her husband and she told me about warm
people who live there and the different foods, authentic food available not
like our Indo- Chinese, they have described the Japanese etc. food available
too.
So C-Canada naturally won out!
