Appreciate his sense of humor. But, most folks are taken in by these generalizations about TN, Kerala and India in general. Go abroad and they all think ALL Indians are veggies. Tell them that more than 75% of Indians are non-veg and you'll get an incredulous look. I am a pucca veggie guy and have faced myriad problems travelling abroad trying to get a decent meal. So, I can imagine the hectic preparations of Vadukut's first boss. In Bangkok, they even call vegetarian foods as veg duck and so on. Unless theres that non-veg flavor at least in name, folks cannot swallow the stuff. Hilarious for us. Well, you have to be a veggie to know how tough it is abroad. Now, with increasing Indian tourists, things are improving with the Macdonalds in London serving veg samosas, though exhorbitantly priced.... good article, if people have a sense of humor.
