Name: Little India
Address: 15 Ringelblum, Beer Sheva
Hello loyal readers! It's been a while - although I'm sure there has been Indian food in the intermittent years (!!), we've probably been too busy to share our witty and humorous culinary observations. This is our blog's third review of Little India, which is still going strong (the restaurant definitely so, the blog questionably so). The restaurant now occupies the entire deck and features both low-table and table-and-chair seating arrangements. The menu has pretty much stayed the same, but a while back they got rid of the lunch buffet.
When we started this blog, R and I imagined that we'd become experts in Indian food. Culinary fanatics, highlighting the nuanced use of green cardamom, suggesting recipes for homemade paneer, and being asked to review Indian food world-wide (or at least Israel-wide).
Alas - not only do we struggle to maintain this blog, but we have also fallen short of becoming world-renown foodies. We have come to accept that our blog is more about the journey, the story, the people - and less about the actual food (although we know a killer samosa when we taste it, and will call out frozen vegetables wherever they may lurk).
Journeys can be divided into two types: those with a destination and those without. Most tangible journeys are of the former variety. You walk out your front door, and arrive at school. You board an airplane and arrive in Mongolia. You weave your way through town, crossing errands off your list.
The latter journeys are much more interesting. Going without knowing where you will end up. Opening yourself to adventures, submerging yourself in the experience, accepting the flow and submitting to it. Going for the sake of going. Being for the sake of being. Growing into your role within the journey, negotiating the fine balance between personal space and that which is shared.
Such a journey led me to share this amazing meal with an amazing person (two in fact, but one was just along for the destination-oriented ride). Here's to good food, good times, and journey-worthy companions.
