Snacking culture in India, whether it is the streets, our homes or festivals- is extremely elaborate, vivid and complex. One of the steps towards preserving these food trails, and in a broader sense contributing to our local economy, is obviously, eating and buying local. I wonder if this culture would be perishable with coming generations, when the McDonaldisation of food is peddled as a sign of modernity and prosperity. Will the stride of globalisation, and ultimately multinationalised, Industrialised food wipe out the flavour from our streets?
