While having my dinner today, I was watching Rocky and Mayur's 'Highway on my Plate' and I especially like their show since they snitched the idea that I have always had. The soul of any place is its food. So I had this idea of hosting a travel show where I (a hardcore vegetarian) and Sumit (a more than a hardcore non vegetarian) search for a place's soul through its foods. So we go around searching for how can a vegetarian and non vegetarian survive in this place.
But no, I don't think I can host this kind of show anymore.
These guys were in Puri, Orissa. Doing what? Of course they were hogging and hogging and hogging and hogging. And seeing them hog quashed all my dreams of ever nearing such a show ever.
After my brisk walking session and now relishing my only protein lightly salted dal dinner, my eyes were not prepared to see what I was seeing them do. I cannot subject myself to heaps of glutton glazed in slimy looking oil and slimier spices. There was a heap of rice that sat innocently on their leaf plates soon to change colors as it was bathed in red fiery sinful oily curries, on one's plate there was a vegetarian variety and the other was a non vegetarian. Can't even start to imagine the harm it would do once inside their systems. And as if the main course assault wasn't enough, there were the desserts. Huge rasgullas and gulabjamuns or a mixture of these fallen in the unrighteous extra sugary syrup. I have seen the guys gorge white flour snacks and sweets from different cities, in numerous shows, which are fixed in no other way but deep fried to give you enough piles on the hips.
I have nothing against Rocky and Mayur, in fact I think they are really good entertainers and more than anything really brave. Subjecting their health to so much torment and yet maintaining a great sense of humor but I pray they are staying away from getting a highway on their respective pets (tummies).
I am now starting to think of a travel show to search for healthy foods in different cities. What say ;-)
