Last week I was in my car and thought I saw something on the side of the road but wasn't sure if I had seen it correctly so decided not to blog about it just in case I was wrong. On Saturday I saw it again and had seen correctly the first time.
What was this interesting sight?
Real old fashioned popcorn.
There was a man with a cart and on the cart he had peanuts for sale and some other nuts and he also had a ton of popcorn kernels. On one side of the cart there was a big pan...kind of the size of a wok...on a little fire. He would put kernels in and pop them over the fire and then put them into a small little bag for people. Now that is fresh popcorn.
I'm surprised I didn't notice it last year. Its a great idea for these cold Delhi nights (it actually gets quite cold at night...but the days are perfect). They only pop a little bit at a time so it is always fresh and warm. I almost bought some...probably the only street food in Delhi that I can be sure it 100% safe to eat...but I was in my car so couldn't exactly stop.
Will be tough to buy movie theatre popcorn now after remembering what real fresh popcorn is like.
Oh...and I saw an elephant walking down the street Saturday morning. Totally unrelated but seriously made my day!
