I feel I have been in India long enough to start missing certain foods. Coffee is always high on that list, and thankfully McLeod Ganj has caught up with Delhi, and is serving good espresso in some places. This small cafe just before the ‘chocolate log’ even had the coolest milk jug ever. I didn’t trust them with a cappuccino, and as milk is nearly always served hot in India (even on cornflakes in the middle of summer) I got milk on the side.
And below is some proof that I will never rise to fame as a food photographer, and certainly would never even want to try. Food and jewelry photography are an art in themselves. Kakeage-Egg Don is my favourite Japanese dish ever, aside from Sushi, which I am sure America has bastardised. It would benefit from some meat, but they are a vegearian restaurant, so it will have to do. It is vegetable tempura, with sticky rice, an egg over it all and some kind of oyster sauce. To the left is Miso Soup and some kind of pickled vegetable with sesame seeds. It is really delicious and dare I saw even a little healthy, the trouble is I have never seen it on a menu outside of this small Himalayan restaurant. (It tastes much better than it looks)

Will you get one of those milk jugs for me - and also the recipe for pink worms and rice that looks so appetising! Hope you’re impressed that I’m blogging you! Mum
