I LOVE how #Bangalore now has so many places from where you can order THICC & CHONCC-y sandwiches πŸ₯ͺ from!

Grab a bib, cuz here are 5 sandwiches you just gotta try: πŸ‘‡πŸΎ

πŸ₯ͺ No set menu, as veggies are sourced daily from farmers
πŸ₯ͺ Super eclectic fillings, like 🍏, which 🀯

Order in advance from: instagram.com/the_food_lover…
2/ Candice's Gourmet Sandwiches

3/ Brik Oven Deli

πŸ₯ͺ Brik Oven pizza really needs no introduction, but have you tried their breakfast (read: brunch) sandwiches?

5/ Paris Panini

πŸ₯ͺ Nicholas, the French founder, wanted to bring French street food to India. So he set up a food truck called Le Casse-Croute
πŸ₯ͺ Due to red tape that came with running a food πŸš›, he partnered the folks behind Pizza Bakery & launched a brick & mortar store in BLR
Wrote this thread to celebrate both:

πŸ₯ͺ The cosmopolitan nature of #Bangalore and
πŸ₯ͺ The incredible level of craftsmanship that goes into each of these sandwiches

Truly lucky to be in #Blore right now!

Bookmark this 🧡 for the next time you can't decide where to order from! :)
Honorary mention:

The amount of thought that went into Fatty Bao BLR's new bao dogs made me go bao-wow 🀭

LOVE the packaging! And that they experimented with Korean flavours for one of the "sandwiches".

The sausage went really well with the soft & sweet bao.

Last day today ☹️
Also, all photos in this thread have been taken from each brand's social media profiles.

1/Paneer and pav. Two Portuguese inventions I am very grateful for. Little did I know that I also had to thank the Portuguese for the Alphonso aam as well.

Curious about how the πŸ₯­ revered by the aam aadmi came to have a Caucasian name I researched a bit. Here is what I found!πŸ‘‡
2/When the Portuguese first landed in India mangoes were a little bit..sucky. That is to say, Indians used to devour them by sucking their pulp.

These mushy mangos, while delicious, were hard to transport back home. The emperor demanded πŸ₯­s that were easier for European exports.
3/ Portuguese priests who had settled in Goa then started experimenting with indigenous mangoes. This resulted in the origin of the world-famous Goan grafts of mangos.

They then sowed the seeds (quite literally) for the Alphonso aam that we all love.

1/6 If you go to Madurai, you will come across a curious cold drink called Jigarthanda. While it is a lot like falooda, it is not quite the same.

It contains almond gum (from almond bark). It has a sweet earthy taste due to sarsaparilla syrup. What intrigued me most was its name
2/ The name of the cold drink Jigarthanda translates to "cold heart". It is an amalgamation of two Urdu words jigar (ΰ€œΰ€Ώΰ€—ΰ€°/Ψ¬Ϊ―Ψ±) and thanda (ΰ€ ΰ€‚ΰ€‘ΰ€Ύ/ΩΉΪΎΩ†ΪˆΨ§).

While thanda made sense, I was puzzled by the usage of jigar which literally translates to one's liver rather than one's β™₯️
3/ Turns out that Urdu poets use the word jigar (trans. liver) as a metaphor for the heart and as a term of endearment.

This is because the liver is as vital as our heart for survival.

That is also why you may have come across the term "jigari-dost" for close friends.

TIL that prior to the adoption of the internationally accepted A4 std sheet, Britain's standard paper size was called "foolscap".

Its unique name is because the paper was watermarked with the symbol of a joker with a fool's cap and bells. It's slightly bigger than an A4 sheet
If one digs back to the etymology a bit more, John Ciardi says that the watermark β€œfoolscap” was actually a mistranslation of an earlier reference to legal paper. πŸ“œ

In the middle ages, contracts were drawn upon a large sheet of paper, & both parties signed. (1/🧢)
The paper was then torn in 2 (in a ragged fashion) & 1 half was given to each party. The ragged tear was unique to that particular contract. If there was any dispute the parties would each bring their 1/2 before a judge who would 1st check if the 2 halves lined up perfectly. 2/🧢
