| NOTES. | Lack of variety in breakfast dishes was due to our own choice. We preferred eggs each morning to other dishes such as bacon, liver, or fish. | Tea or coffee was always served after lunch. We invariably had tea. |
Soup was always served with dinner, and tea or coffee afterwards. As at lunch time we invariably had tea. |
|
| * We could not identify this sweet. It tasted like unfried banana fritter
(very palatable) but the fact that
the dish was served a second time disproved our theory of a culinary error. % Sweets were served with these meals but when I came to record them we neither of us could remember what they were! Other meals served were chota hazri (or a pot of tea in bed before rising) and afternoon tea with cakes or sandwiches. | ||||
