Khushi and Payal's childhood food memories


Khushi says, "whenever Payal di and I used to go to the village fair, we made it a point to eat candy floss. I just loved the feel of it, soft, pink and yummy. It was messy to eat but that made it even more fun to have.

Every day after our school on our way back home, di and I would buy khatti imli and boras, as we loved having this tangy food. After having the boras, we would often aim the seeds on innocent bystanders; it was so much of fun.

Our neighbour had a huge mango tree and I would often drag di to steal mangoes. As kids, we would climb the trees and pluck mangoes. Many times the garden caretaker would spot us and chase us but we always managed to run off.

Another of our favourites was the handful of delicious toffees we would get for 50 paise only. Di and I use to gorge on these from our local kirana. Every time we asked bua for a treat, she would give us 50 paise knowing that we would run off and buy toffees.

After roaming the streets, there was nothing like drinking sugarcane juice. We also use to have ice lolly or ice pepsi to quench our thirst on bright hot summer days. Finally we would wait to hear kulfiiii, kulffiiii. It was music to our ears to hear the local kulfi bhaiya and after harassing buaji, we would finally taste the delicious, creamy, malaiwala stick kulfi. So these were some of di and my favourite childhood food memories and we enjoyed having these."
