In coming to India, one of my biggest hesitations was...yes, you guessed...
THE FOOD! Not only do I not like spicy food, but the thought of having to eat a vegetarian diet for the majority of my meals was not exactly something I met with open arms. However,
if being a vegetarian was ever wrong, then I don't wanna' be right!!! Truth is that changing my diet to better mirror that of a vegetarian is something that has been on my heart and mind for some time now. So a vegetarian diet wasn't something I feared in coming to India, per say, but such a change is very different and better received when it is done by choice rather than by circumstantial force. Anyway, my fears were all for nothing. The food is ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS here! Who would ever thought that okra (termed as "lady's fingers" in India) could taste so good. While most food served in India is spicy, my site has been very accommodating in toning down the spicy levels. Taking note of all types of recipes and ingredients, I may actually be ready to start eating a vegetarian diet (until 6pm that is;) when I return to the states.
