Street Food

Street food here is delicious, varied, and reasonably priced. There is so much fruit to choose from; today I ate bananas and guavas (without salt and chile). I also had some lentil patato stew served in a bowl made from a dehydrated leaf (I love the low earth footprint materials). Fried things are also a street specialty. I've had a fried boiled egg and delicious fried green chiles, as well as all kinds of samosas. People love selling little snack items in paper cones, like roasted garbanzo beans or peanuts or boiled beans with masala. There are also endless opportunities to drink tea or buy special milkshakes, btu I have stayed with my traditional staple, water. Luckily drinking water is readily available here. The city has set up many drinking water faucets and many people provide water as a free service. Everyone here is so friendly and excited to meet a foriegner.
