I often wonder, what if I had preserved all the food I have
eaten in my life, still delightfully fresh and ready to serve. It would be a
riot of tastes and flavours. I would have enough to throw a big dinner party
for lots and lots of people. The grand spread, a highly appreciated buffet would
get the compliments for the variety it would lay out: North Indian, Bengali,
South Indian, Chinese, continental, et al. The desserts section, I droolingly admit,
would be dominated by Bengali milk sweets. But the magic of rosogollas, ladykinis, cream chops, malai chops, sondesh, some of them jol
bhora, some kacha, would sure
send you in a stupor. The beverages section would leave a lot to be desired, especially
the alcoholic kind, but a continuous flow of lemon juice would more than make
up. It would also act as a cool digestive to the mega spread one would indulge
in. What would your party be like?
