The Changing Popular Culture of Indian Food
By: Ashis Nandy

17 | P a g e
The emergence of fast food come in India in the second half of
the 19 century in form of MC Donald and pizza hut but the history
of fast food in India is very old and come in the shape of dosai,
vada, tiki, puri and dahi bhala . these fast food items are also part
of Indian functions, like puri and dosa is served in marriage
functions and dinner parties along with other cuisines.
The second major development is the way in which, during the
last five decades, formal or ceremonial food in metropolitan India
has increasingly come to be dominated by two cuisines, the
Mughal and the Punjabi. These cuisines are widely surved in all
over India, in restaurants and other ceremonial functions. In
England there are almost 1500 indian restaurants which serves
these Punjabi and mughal cuisines no mater they are run by
Bengali‟s or Gujarat‟s.
Bengalis, have always sung the glories of Bengali food but, when
it comes to eating or serving food outside the home, they tend to
choose some version of Mughal, North Indian or, less frequently,
European food, by which they usually mean Indianized British
food, given fancy French or Italian names. Bengali food for most
Bengalis is decisively not a restaurant food. The restaurants or
cafeterias that serve Bengali food are usually seen as lowbrow
„eating places‟.
Indian Chinese is one of the fastest growing cuisines in India. The
adaptation came in the form of an Indianized Cantonese style,
considered more suited to the palates of Europeans, North
Americans and Anglicized South Asians. It is a clue to the global
hierarchy of cultures that the spicier Hunanese, Szechwanese
18 | P a g e
and Thai cuisines became popular in spice-guzzling South Asia
only after they became popular in the West.
The popular culture of food is influenced not merely by the
political interplay of cuisines and mutating tastes but also by less
institutionalized roles for food that collective experiences in
contemporary times have created. These experiences ensure that
food in some cases gets associated not only with traditional
concepts of health, illness, and nutrition or serves as a cultural
marker of status, taste, and cultivation, but also carries the
reflections of personal and collective milestones and traumata.
Food has become the stuff of memory, sometimes more important
than the death of family members and friends. The lost village,
too, is remembered through food. It is a village uncontaminated
by religious hatred and, as such, also has to be remembered as a
place where water was sweeter, vegetables greener, and milk
purer.

Fast Food Nation
By: Eric Schlosser
SOURCE: www.srherbs.com
It's no good denying it: people like fast food because it can taste
pretty good. But what they may not know about is the cocktail of
chemicals that gives the French fry its delicious taste. Fast food
success has drawn much attention to the industry and the food
itself. Animal rights advocates and health buffs alike criticize fast
food on its effect on the health of its customers and the health of
the globe. Not only is fast food proven to be bad for the health
because of its high fat content and the probable health hazards
fast food chains are prone to, but also its effect on employment
and agricultural concerns.

LOCAL FOOD CULTURE
Historical Influences:
The arrival of the Islam religion within the Indian subcontinent has
influenced the local cuisine to a great degree. Since Muslims are
forbidden to eat pork or consume alcohol, because they are
considered Haram, Pakistanis focus on other areas of food such
as beef, chicken, fish, and vegetables as well as traditional fruit
and dairy juices.

Dinner:
Dinner is considered the main meal of the day as the whole family
gathers for the occasion. Lentils are almost never consumed for
dinner as they are usually considered a day time meal. Food
which requires more preparation and which is more savoury (such
as haleem, pulao, kofte, kebabs) are prepared. These are served
with rice or bread (or both) along with yoghurt, pickle and salad.
The dinner may (not commonly) be followed by dessert ranging
from anything from fruit to traditional desserts like kheer, gulab
jamun, shahi tukray, gajraila, qulfi or ras malai.

Lentils:

The one main exception is haleem (also known as Noah's
pudding) which contains a variety of lentils, rice, wheat, barley,
appropriate vegetables if desired and sometimes even figs along
with meat. A batch of haleem will typically take over four to five
hours to cook. Haleem is often served on religious occasions
such as Muharram. A similar dish of Kashmiri origin is Hareesa,
which also incorporates all the above mentioned and stewed
slowly over a stove.
Barbecue:
Varieties of Bread:
Pakistanis also eat flat round bread (roti) as a staple part of their
daily diet. Pakistan has a variety of breads, often prepared in a
traditional clay oven called a tandoor. Some of these are:

We play, we jump, we crawl and we eat this is all our childhood is basically.
31 | P a g e
Similarly, many of us are having our favorite childhood memories and many
of these are related to the food (yan, 2005). Food is basically more then a
food for us, here the term us is referring the Asians, its deeply ingrained in
our social & cultural experience (yan, 2005).
Like Asia, Syrian food is rich in vegetables, grains, fruit, nuts, beans and
aromatic spices. The same ingredients are used in different ways in
different dishes and blended into an assortment of dishes. Lemons, onion
and garlic, as well as mint and parsley are used in vast quantities. Syrian
bread (known as pita) is served at most meals and is used to dip into
pastes and salads.
In Asia, now we are moving towards fast food culture at a very alarming
pace. As, we all know that fast food includes burgers, snacks, cutlus, pizza
etc and all of these things are cooked in oil and contains fats which harms
human health in a long run as discussed earlier.

It's no good denying it: people like fast food because it can taste pretty
good. But what they may not know about is the cocktail of chemicals that
gives the French fry neither its taste - nor the grisly events in the
slaughterhouses that can put something nasty in the burger along with the
beef (Schlosser, 2001).
Fast food items does really taste a good flavor, most of the Americans do
prefer fast food in their meals and that is the reason they are fat people
because fast food contains fats in it which is the reason of the fatness
which ultimately harms their medical health afterwards (Sayed, 2010).
