Love your blog and read it regularly...Hey Manisha,<br /><br />Love your blog and read it regularly. Have been really touched and more than a tad tearful with some of the posts and rolling with laughter with others. <br /><br />Commenting on Vir Sanghvi's tomato preferences - well they don't matter anymore since post the Radia-tapes the wily creep's credibility has been completely destroyed. Who cares which tomato he endorses...he can soak his pen into one of those tomatoes (flavorless or not!) and rid us of his dishonest opinions! <br /><br /><i>PS: In case you're unaware of the tapes :http://www.outlookindia.com/article.aspx?268066 </i>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5156654.post-6912053508939111392010-11-13T20:30:55.461-07:002010-11-13T20:30:55.461-07:00Thanks for the lil revelations!

Did he have a stroke that affected the sensory part of his facial nerve? Desi tomatoes are flavorless indeed..His idea of 'good' tomatoes are probably those huge generic beefsteak ones with the mealy texture!, & he is a food commentator.. Nuff said!<br /> Great read Manisha!

I watch an Indian food cooking show on "The Food Channel" for inspiration and have made a couple of dishes from that show. <br />I agree, it's insane to import food from the US, especially red "Delicious" apples.

The blogger edited her tagline on Twitter just a tad, confirming that this was not a figment of my imagination. This amuses me because it means that a lot of the message either did not sink in or was lost. Whatever.

You do get the Alphonso in Indian grocery stores during mango season in India. They are very expensive and I have been told that they aren't all that great tasting either. I get my fix from the Ataulfo mango. I have heard that the Champagne mango is also flavorful.</i><br /><br /><b>Rumana</b><i>, thanks!</i><br /><br /><b>Anjali</b><i>, I guess I am fortunate that the truly rich people I know lead relatively simple lives, committed to social and environmental change. Of course, I don't know anyone quite in the same wealth bracket as the Ambanis! <br /><br />Personally, I think Indian goods are of superior quality to the crap from China that we get here. I don't know much about Vir Sanghavi except what I found on his site and what is written about him.</i><br /><br /><b>Nandini</b><i>, what seems to come through is that to be a true foodie, you have to be somewhat of a snob. The British left a long time ago but apparently some people still have a hangover. Supermarket tomatoes? Really?! These kababs are excellent! In a couple of the pics, they even looked like doog poop. <br /><br />On the other fronts, one can only hope that people develop some sense of ethics!</i><br /><br /><b>Anita</b><i>, true that there are 600 new jobs. I hope that is not the only good thing about this monstrosity. 'Internalising?' What a great euphemism! Yes, better not to look! <br /><br />I want to have these kababs with goat meat. *hint* </i><br /><br /><b>Shalan</b><i>, you bet! At the same time, you won't believe how many people think shiny and golden is taste. <br /><br />I do wonder what vine-ripened tomatoes he is smuggling in his carry-on. As you said, they can be GMO and vine-ripened! <br /><br />As for the blogger, the less said the better!</i>Indian Food Rockshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13397829480472038159noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5156654.post-47422282162453545142010-10-18T10:28:17.000-06:002010-10-18T10:28:17.000-06:00How many times do we hear "money does not buy...How many times do we hear "money does not buy you taste or class for that matter"? Fine example of that Mr. Ambani is.<br /><br />Creepy was the person, lacking more than just imagination in 'borrowing' your tag-line. <br /><br />Truly creepy is this Vir Sanghvi creature. What utter tosh is he spouting about not getting quality tomatoes in India? They maybe different tomatoes, but certainly not inferior. Will Monsanto be his saviour? Hate to think that. <br /><br />The lamb kebabs look divine.

Now they are out in the open. Did we not hear stories of Nehru's suits being sent to Paris for a wash? When the rest of India was doing swadeshi. Infact I see a rising no.of well traveled Indians especially here in the south opting for Indian goods and produce, something I haven't seen much in Mumbai and parts of the north.<br /><br />Vir Sanghavi sounds inconsistent in that post coz he is the same guy who hosted "Custom made for Vir Sanghavi" where he gets his shoes, scent, sherwani and even travel bag handmade in India and reiterates that the craftsmanship is world class here.
