FAMOUS BY PLACE OF ORIGIN - 662

 ITEMS KNOWN MORE  BY THEIR  SUPPOSED PLACE                                      OF ORIGIN 


We have all come across items which gain attention and popularity by virtue of belonging to a place they come to be associated with .

More often than not , both the item and the place of origin come to be addressed in unison .  

MAN has always been a Foodie and would not mind the trouble  to travel an extra Mile if required  to satisfy his taste buds .  Food item and its  supposed place of  origin , which may or may not  always be true  come to be associated with it in unison .

Most of the present Generation or the Millennium kids are very much aware of the BOSTON PIZZAS , ITALIAN PASTA , FRENCH FRIES , SWISS CHOCOLATES and many other such items .

Closer home , MYSORE PAK - MYSORE RASAM , LONAVALA CHIKKI , SHEGOAN KATCHORI , BANARASI CHAT , KOLKATA ROSOGOLLA , MUMBAI BHEL PURI , CHOWPATTY VADA PAAV , MATUNGA CONCERNS LUNCH OR DINNER ,  GOA FENI , MADRAS MASALA DOSAI , MADURAI MALLIGAI POO IDLI , KUMBAKONAM DEGREE COFFEE , SANKARAN KOVIL PAAL KOVA , KOVILPATTY KADALAI MITTAI  and a hundred other such  items  are sure to make us long for these delicacies and get  our mouth watering. 

For those who rush to Courtallam each summer during the SEASON  for a splash in the water and are Non Veg , their itinerary must include a visit to the SHENKOTTAH BORDER BARROTTA KADAI , For their  best services one is always advised to visit this place around midnight.,

Now , our own TIRUNELVELI is renowned for 3 items , it is only apt that we leave out the ARUVA part for very obvious reasons . 

No visit to TIRUNELVELI is complete without getting the Blessings of NELLAIAPPAR First in the TEMPLE COMPLEX and later a visit to the NELLAI IRRUTTU KADAI HALWA SHOP which is located almost directly opposite to the FAMED TEMPLE. One has to face the music of very angry neighbors and friends if the TIRUNELVELI HALWA is not shared with them after your visit to Nellai for whatever reason . This is almost similar to the Mandatory sharing of LADDOO after a visit to THE  TIRUPATHY  BALAJI TEMPLE  .

Do take the trouble to Enquire and Savour the Delicacies of the place  you happen to visit or pass through  next time .

 VAIKOM VISIT - IN GODS OWN                     COUNTRY  Kerala has always been my favourite place of visit over the years . Its cleanliness , its greenery,  waterways , not to forget its spirituality and beautiful people in more ways than one  have always held  a special attraction for  me . We , that is me and my Better Half have visited Kerala before  and visited many of  its  Temples and Tourist Attractions.  One place missing in this list has been the Viakom  Sri Mahadeva Temple . We decided to embark  on  a visit to this place and Mami was spot on to point out that there was a direct Train from Ambasamudram to Vaikom Road by the 16792 Palaruvi Express starting from ASD at 11.57 PM and reaching Vaikom Road Station at 7.30 Am the next morning . Nothing could be better ,  We made the Reservations for both the Up  and Down Jorneys on the 11 th and 13 th June with our  return slated from Ernakulam Town as we planned to visit the Chottanikara Bhaghavati Amman Temple on the 13 th mornin

Setting Foot on the  Northern Most  Point Thus Far Travelled by Me . Coming as this does within 10 days of my arrival in Canada, our trip to Waskesiu was unique in more ways than one . Waskesiu which is about 450 Kms from Regina and is at the Northern Most point in the Saskatchewan Province of Canada .  As with most other regions , this place is unique for ,  Literally 100 s of waterfronts and beaches . Shrouded by tall trees all around where the Suns Rays rarely reach the ground level directly and unhindered . Home to Bear , Deer and Elf . We were lucky to spot all the three during our trip on Road . There are Beautiful Resorts all around where visitors from all  across Canada , spend Time and Money in huge numbers to savor the Natural Beauty which is in abundance here . During Summer Months the Weather in these areas are on the lines of Kodaikanal or Uthagamandalam at its coldest . Winter around these parts is even more awesome with the entire area in a sheet of Ice . Skaking, Snowmo
