Hot Bangladesh - the food

Because of its own cooking tradition, the Bengali cuisine is famous for delicious food and delicate snacks. One can imagine them as close relatives of Indian and Middle Eastern cuisine, better than the crossing of both. The result is a product of love - almost always spicy, with many unique character traits, a feast of (taste) senses. Eating-houses or simple restaurants can be found everywhere – in a eating-house on our YouTube channel. Good, cheap, authentic, but the kitchen of other people is nothing to you and you should take this. In the cities you can also find upscale restaurants of all price categories. Frequent food stalls you can use without hesitation, these offer you an illustrious collection of extremely delicate snacks, Bangladesh fast food.

The Bengali cuisine. Delicious and spicy.

What is eaten? The day is traditionally begun with Porata or Ruti - in some oil or dry baked flatbread and an omelet. At lunch, around 2 pm and dinner from 10 pm onwards there is rice. A meal without rice is simply not a full meal, for a Deshi. The rice is served with curry of fish, beef, mutton, chicken or vegetables, which is always spicy and strongly seasoned. Dal – a kind of lentil soup – and vegetables of the respective season belong to it. In the afternoon, for tea, a Mishti (sweet bangla) is served. These small balls, based on sugar and milk, are the ultimate embodiment of “sweet”. Bangladeshis love it. For Europeans it should already have triggered one or the other sugar shock. The country is blessed, depending on the season, with a large variety of vegetable varieties and (sub-) tropical fruits, which are prepared in different varieties. Mango, jackfruit, pineapple, banana, lychee, lemon, guava, pomegranate, papaya, tamarind, melon, various kinds of nuts and Indian olive are surely only a few.

Dinner is served!

You are invited to Homestay, or to ordinary people. Food is on the table, hands are washed. All eyes are directed at you, in anticipation of your judgment. But where is the cutlery? Well, here is traditionally eaten with the hand, with the right. The left hand is used for body hygiene in these latitudes, so you do not eat with it or give it to anyone (etiquette). This type of food consumption is at least an experience. You’re left-handed? No problem, according to reports this is just as accepted, because left-handers are also here. Apart from that you can of course ask for cutlery. Nearly every household, and still so simple, has at least a spoon.
