I had a real moment of bafflement this morning and it is still a bit incomprehensible to me. A friend is on a holiday in India - very nice - and she is staying in an essentially Western hotel. Well, that is a bit of a shame, but it is not that easy from here to find alternatives. But the real startling moment was a Facebook post where she showed where she had gone out to eat: a fusion restaurant run by a 'Profesional English Chef'. what are you thinking? You are in India and go for an Indian meal. Why on earth go to one doing 'fake Indian' in the English style?


We shall have to have words when she gets home ....
