Sticky in Chennai

After so many delicious meals at our favorite Chennai restaurant Saravana Bhavan, here we saw for the first time where the early preparations begin, at least at the Anna Nagar branch of this popular restaurant chain. There is no close-up but basically there is a high heap of onions on the floor and they are being peeled. Needless to say, it doesn't look appetising but...it is not for the faint of heart. One can relax and remember that everything one eats there, at least on our part, is cooked. So many of the germs are hopefully killed during the heating process. Many of our readers from pasteurised places may retch, feel free to retch. One makes peace with many things. I told a friend on the phone last night about a fresh beautiful cauliflower I bought the other day. When I came home and cut it, two giant caterpillars wiggled out. Obviously it is just different. Who is to say what is in the "meat" at fast food chains anywhere? Just thought the basement photo was blog-worthy.
