women have not married men to only cook for them for a lifetime.
it is this mindset of men which make women drop out from cooking.
very well said. really hitting the spot.I think Men excell in Cooking orNalabagam The problem is cleaning after cooking ! They lack cleaniness! It becomes an Herculian task like Cleaning the Augian stable
most non career type women have displacement fears.Some women get wild when some one takes over the Kitchen for whatever reason - eitherr by the Husband or cook hired! will make comments - the Pannikai type! & may throw hysterical behaviour!
Ever since I became an orphan in my early twenties, I have been 'dependent' on food served by canteens, messes and middle-class hotels for a couple of decades before I got married eventually. Not without a cost in terms of health! Twice in the course of those two decades, I was stricken with 'hepatitis' -- once, while in New Delhi and eating out in South Indian hotels there and a second time, in Bombay (now, Mumbai) eating out in Karnataka restaurants there! More than the 'stale' food items, kept in fridge, re-cooked and served, it is the 'water' served in hotels, messes and canteens that is often contaminated and not boiled and / or purified! Those 'water-coolers' from where they collect supposedly 'potable water' are also found to be in pathetic conditions very often. Apart from 'hepatitis' that struck me twice, I had also suffered from recurrent bouts of 'constipation' and 'diarrhea' because of unhygienic food and water!
Dear Ganesh,I think we should restrict hotel food to once or twice a month...In worst case once a week max...
Dear Ganesh,
Do you think the once or twice eating out will save you from 'Delhi belly'? Let me share an experience.
A wedding in my family circle was conducted in a newly opened KalyANa mandapam in T' nagar, a few years back.
Whoever had buttermilk on the very first meal was affected with severe diarrhea and vomiting - reason unknown then!
The next morning, the tap water had a sickening smell and two dead rats were found in the water stored in the over-head tank.
So......... the buttermilk had 'that' tap water added on the previous day and made many of us sick.
Since then, I have stopped even tasting uncooked items like raithA, thogaiyal, curry with fresh coconut topping, buttermilk
and pAn served in the wedding feasts in Sing. Chennai!
hiNowadays they give Bisleri water in marriages...Or else we may have to carry our own water!...I have seen this food poisoning in one of the family marriages 20 years back! Some persons had to be administered drips in both sides!
