I have been between India and Nepal for almost two months and i can recall
theyr "very lax higienic protocols". Butcheries with a couple of animals'
heads in front of them attired so many flies one could hardly see behing
those bloody skulls. And many other filthy things, but I loved theyr
cuisine: samosas, savoury puffpastries, cheeses, dahl bat tarkari, lentils
in general...
If only they would start growing some olives for oil: the alimenatry oils I
found there were all invasive, to say the least. We had to fork out 12 $ for
half a liter of spanish EVO oil while we were spending 1.80 US$ a day for a
room for three...
