SURE, THAT SPECIAL DISH REMINDS.. #BLOGCHATTERBLOGHOP



A middle aged man was not liking the mixed tastes of foods of local and foreign origin served outside in the city to satisfy the taste buds of the younger generation..

In such times, the news spread that a new Eatery came up in the city serving 

A PARTICULAR DISH

With a special taste and aroma developed thru' years of experimentation. That's it..

Young people thronged the place in large numbers, there were long queues in front of the Eatery and the visitors were smelling the aroma of food served followed by lots of talk, praise etc..

The gentleman too visited the place one cool evening with his greater family. Soon they were at the special table and the hot

SPECIAL DISH 

Was served to them in short time. All praised the taste and aroma of 

THE DISH 

Saying,

"Hmm.. Excellent, Wonderful, so tasty!"

For the first time, the gentleman too liked 

THE DISH 

And unknowingly he exclaimed,

"THIS DISH 

Is really good!"

In that small Eatery, kitchen was just a few steps away from the dining area with 2 serving personal at the counter and the cook working behind seen by all..

The gentleman decided to thank the cook. Accordingly, he moved to the place while others were busy in eating, met the cook inside and said..

"Thank you dear! Even in these modern times, you could make 

THIS DISH 

Where an old timer like me could link something to my taste buds!"

The young cook smiled and said,

"Sir! All this should go to our old Chef my grand father who actually is the master expert behind all this. You can convey your thanks to him. Please do come with me!"

Saying thus, the young cook took the gentleman to the aged owner of the eatery. The gentleman thanked the elderly and said,

"Nice to meet you! You seem to belong to my earlier generation. Great. I got a similar taste of 

THE DISH 

Of our times!" 

The old Chef smiled and said,

"What you had eaten is the same 

DISH

Of my younger times. I did nothing to that except giving new name and a change to the presentation style!

In my younger days, I used to cook this delicacy in my hotel where I was employed. Slowly, the coming up younger generation i.e., your generation stopped liking my food and my hotel had to be closed.. 

Thus, I lost my value and my job. But, I could not change myself and adapt to the new cooking. I continued the same cooking in various small places and somehow survived..

Subsequently my son actively got into the new cooking styles but he too became outdated in time and thus our family had a low profile for many years.. 

After all those years, by luck we got some money released due to a court settlement. At once, we decided to open this small Eatery which any how was our family tradition of living and give modern youth this my

FAMOUS DISH.. IT CLICKED!"

The gentleman thanked the elderly and as he started moving, he queried,

"You told the Truth. If people come to know about this..."

The elderly Chef smiled and quipped,

"They just want
MY SPECIAL DISH
Not the history!"
