Day 30 (February 6, 2000)

Food!

South Indian cuisine is mostly vegetarian, though at seaside resorts fish is plentiful and good. Thali is a midday meal served on a banana leaf freshly washed by the diner. A big spoonful of rice is plopped down in the middle, followed by various sauces and vegetable mixtures which are placed in small piles around the rice. Your job is to mix it up with your hands and get it to your mouth without making a mess. The left hand stays out the picture. You may ask for a spoon.
