Let He who has never eaten a road side Pani Puri cast the first stone!
Yes, we just swat the flies away and continue to eat the very same food the fly was sitting on a second ago. We remove ants from our tea/coffee and drink it. Not only drink, we even relish it! We dont stop and wonder where the fly was sitting two seconds before it was sitting on our bondas or if the ants marched from the bathroom! We do draw a line when it comes to cockroaches and lizards though! (Only because the critters are too big to ignore!) Ok? Alright? Happy? Now dont roll your eyes! Yes, you! You dared to ask me how I could possibly do such awful stuff? I just smiled and nodded and walked away. All the while I wanted to ask you, "I have never seen you or any member of your family take off your shoes before entering your house. Your child crawls in that house. Your older one drops a biscuit on the floor and picks it up and eats it. Have you ever wondered that the very same shoes you are walking around the house with are the same pair you were wearing when you used the public bathroom earlier in the day?" And dont get me started on public swimming pools! Now, shoo! Go away and let me eat my beach side molaga bajji in peace!

A perfect reply for a stupid question. :)
ha ha ha ..i always say hygiene and taste cannot go together esp when it comes to street food. i mean golgappas packed in packets at haldiram are so so so fake!! shall remember ur argument too when hogging on those and feel even better than i already do :)
Tell me about it - even when I see TV ads or movie scenes where people walk in from outside and jump on the bed with shoes I feel like - ugh - how can you do that...and the mom in me wonders - man when do you get the time to wash the sheets every day if you do that?! Or do they sleep on dirty sheets with shoe marks on them! Yes, we joke too - if there is an ant in our food - we tell each other - paravaille - Kannuku nalladhu - saapdu! :)
Totally agree with you :)
LOL!!!LOL!!!! Tags supero super!!! Noonie: we say that about the ants too!!! Don't have much choice in a household, where wasting food is blasphemy!!!
Ofcourse loved the tags ... had crazy laughter with that! :)
I could never handle pani puri - I heard so much about it, the first time I so enthusiastically put one in my mouth and ... well the craziest tongue shock of my life, it was in a middle of a crowded restaurant and I couldnt even cry and my mouth was full plumped up just like my eyes! :) Never dared to try after that. I find it funny imagining myself in that moment even now ... Bhel puri I can handle little bit - taste from prax plate!
After so many years of swiss and still handling pani puri - my goodness!
Aaahaa, aahaa! You said it just right!
