eating thali's - you realy get looked after!

this is what you should know about eating the mothership of all south and north indian lunches

• On arrival you will be shown to your table by a
  group of eager waiters, asking you 'coming from (which country?)', you may be
  lucky enough to make it into the family air con room if the restaurant is full
  already.
• The calm before the storm is the banana leaf you
  will get put next to you, this is your plate. In North india you just get a
  meatl tray with all the items on.
• Then another person with comes along with thali
  items, such as coconut chutney, bean sabji, lentil dhal, popadoms, sambar, curd and rice pudding (fi's favourite aka 'frog spawn').. then followed by another person with rice.. a whole pot of the stuff..
• Eatas slow or as quick as you like, no matter what happens as the piles of food items gets smaller, the items will be replenished by one of the many walla's.

unilimited food for around 30 pence..

the record so far is 14 waiters/wallas in one restaurant.. as you can imagine it gets a bit busy around the tables..

the grand finale is a hefty burp of approval..

then once you have washed up at the sink, you would of eaten meal with right hand fingers, you start saying goodbye to the waiters until out of the premises.

which ever way you look at it.. you will not have to eat for a long time!
