If there is one characteristic that defines a city, I think it’d be how you eat on road. Why road? Because, of the millions who frequent a city everyday for hundreds of reasons, the majority cannot afford to fill in their stomach in the cool comfort of an upscale restaurant.
On the question of affording, it’s not only money that matters. It’s also time that can or cannot be spared for the effort.
In Kolkata – and indeed most of India – the all-season favorite drink is tea supported with light snacks if felt necessary. However at times, especially during summer, other varieties like ganne-ka-ras or sugarcane juice are also quite popular.
