Tea Time, Anytime!!

Other parts of the world have their wines, spirits, coffee and liqueurs, we have our tea with milk and sugar. Tea tastes different across India, North India sees more milk being used, while Western India uses a stronger variety of tea with lesser quantities of milk. All tea is sweetened unless you choose not to have sugar. There is no fixed time for consuming tea, you begin the day with tea and in some cases end it with `chai.' Acidic in nature excess consumption does leave stained teeth behind. The most commonly used teas are CTC (curl, tear and crush), coming in shape of small berries. Leafy teas are lighter and more commonly used at plush restaurants, these are of the pekoe variety with the size of the leaf in many cases determining the strength of the tea. There's no denying Indians love their tea and will drink it with relish even if the temperature hits a record 40 degree Celsius plus! South India, though, still loves & relishes its filter coffee!!!

Burgers & Pizza's - made in India. In keeping with international trends more and more cities have MacDonals and KFC outlets in the past decade. Adhering to local tastes, religious sentiments and custom, outlets sell chicken, fish & vegetarian burgers, with beef a strict no-no in all outlets. Filled to the brim for twelve hours each day with a hip-hop and modern crowd, these fast food joints are a hit with young crowds of college goers and the working class out for a quick snack. If longing for burgers (minus the beef), try these outlets. Fast food
