Karnal Desires! The Foodhunt on NH1
| We have travelled down the NH1 innumerable times. I do not remember a time when we had made any particular effort to explore the cuisine served up in the dhabas dotting this highway. More often than not, we had stopped for 15 minutes, downed a glass of tea, and moved on. The few occasions when we looked for food, it was invariably vegetarian - parathas, pakoras, that kind of thing. Good food, but nothing to really set them apart from dhaba food on other highways. The Havelis and McDonalds are places we never did like - Havelis have a mishmash of cuisines without the touch of freshness, McD's overpriced burgers are no match against their outlets inside the city (and anyway, who wants junk food on a roadtrip? :) ) We had also never unearthed non-vegetarian fare on this highway - which is another reason for our lack of interest in exploring the cuisine along this highway. We had heard of non-veg parathas being available someplace, but never discovered where. So when a friend called us to join his family for a daytime trip along this highway with the sole agenda being EATING(!), how could we refuse! It was time to put to rest, once and for all, the myth or reality of those non-veg temptations! |
