Each city in India has its own unique set of culinary delights that truly define its character. In the case of Mumbai, vada pav reigns supreme, while in Indore, it is poha jalebi. A visit to these Indian cities would be deemed incomplete without savoring these delectable treats. Interestingly, we are not alone in acknowledging their irresistible appeal. Recently, Hans Jacob Frydenlund, the Norwegian Ambassador to India and Bhutan, took to Twitter to offer a glimpse into his ‘Golgappa Saturday’. The esteemed diplomat indulged in this delightful treat at Delhi’s South Extension market and proclaimed himself a true ‘dilliwala’ after relishing it. Here’s a glimpse of the tweet he shared:
“It’s a Golgappa Saturday at South extension market! Or pani puri? Or what should I call it,” asked Frydenlund in his tweet. “No matter what it’s called, it’s yum! I am turning into a proper dilliwala now. What else should I try? Any suggestions,” he added.
The tweet shared by the Norwegian ambassador on June 24 has garnered more than 184k views along with thousands of comments and likes.
“I hope you enjoyed the tangy taste, a great appetiser,” wrote one user. “When in Bengaluru, remember me, I will treat you to wonderful ghee dosa and awesome filter coffee,” said another one. Meanwhile, a few others recommended what else he could try in Delhi. “Chole bhature, Sitaram, Paharganj, Delhi,” said one user.
Meanwhile, another Twitter user named Vikram Sathaye came up with an interesting suggestion for the Norwegian ambassador. “Sir let’s develop a joint dish called Norwegian Salmon Gol Gappa to further consolidate the relationship between our countries,” he wrote on Twitter. The diplomat took to Twitter to reply, “Ceviche made of salmon in a puri would be a treat and an excellent Indo-Norwegian-South-American fusion.” Take a look at the Twitter exchange:
