Dinner At Chez Ludwig

I come back to you now, at the turn of the tide.

Much travels and travails have happened. Perhaps those tales will end up here someday?
He, the first origin of this creation, whether he formed it all or did not form it,
Whose eye controls this world in highest heaven, he verily knows it, or perhaps he knows not.

Anyway... We move on to more pressing matters. Like dinner, for example. See what was served up last night.
  • Rice
  • Curd
  • Kerala fish curry
  • Tomato pappu(=daal)


Mmm...

One stage of your journey is over. Another(a culinary one) begins?

[veena] Nononono. Parallel, concurrent journeys. The path to a man's heart is through his GI tract. And I am bulldozing the way to mine. When one is journeying without, sundry delicacies are journeying within (said GI t.)

This post was inspired by the sight and smell of the rice and tomato pappu and thayir and pickle. Only a southie would understand this aesthetic, neh?

[kuffir] Nothing, indeed, as The Sage once said, like tomato pappu. Cheers :)

Sight and smell of tomato pappu and thayir and pickle? You are half Mallu and you forgot the fish! How dare you?

bloated subject was found with bits of coid rice stuck to his face?

[veena] Yes, I am Mal. Both parents are Mal, so I'm not just half-Mal in some sense. But the fish obsession started much later. Didn't want to conflate basic vegetarian southie with mean, know what I meen?

[e c] Yon Casca has a...pointy hand. Gather about me Cascae that are not so pointy. Bloated corpses found with food in their faces always remind me of Switzerland.

PS What do you call a small epileptic Keralite? Huh? Petit-mal. [Runs himself on sword. Applies asp to eye. Dies.]
