Looks the same but tastes like hell!

For the past few days Ive been craving the junky goodness of good old cheetos and since I have seen them here in Kolkata I decided to pick up a pack.

Boy when I say looks can be deceiving I really mean it. Other than similarities in the packaging and the colors, nothing else is the same. I open the pack and they look like bloody wheels and the taste is something else. No cheesy goodness instead its more like styrofoam covered in a little spice and really bad ketchup. I was so disgusted and the stomach ache following was unbelievable. In short, bloody awful!

Needless to day I will not be trying cheetos again for some time. Here is the funky Indian cheetos packaging. You really cant trust what you see anymore!

Strangest hot dog .... in a good way !

I'm not really a big fan of hot dog, well other than Gray's papaya in NYC but lately I have been craving something other than the usual junk I eat. In between running around and getting things done this afternoon I finally stumbled upon a small bakery and decided to try it out. I'm not sure what was more exciting, finding a new place to try out or realizing that the place I just walked into is literally right next to our apartment. Anyway you know what they say........ Sometimes what you are looking for is right in front of you.

So what did I try, well chicken cutlet because I wanted to get something I know I will like if everything else fails. So the thing is every time I have had high hopes, it ended up giving me a stomach ache.... and I mean it literally!
Next thing I see are these hot dogs and of course I had to try them. Much to my surprise, I actually really liked them and its really not what I was expecting. These are chicken hot dogs, quite spicy but not like a kebab anyway its hard to explain. I will surely be going back there again and next time I will try to remember the name of the place. Anyway here is a pic of the not so flattering yet very differently delicious hot dog !
