Our World- Roadside Restaurants

 On the way back from the Himalayas, we stopped at a roadside restaurant for lunch. Hot ,fresh food was being served to the travellers. The food was delicious.
 Momos, a type of Tibetan food, were being stuffed with shredded cabbage and steamed. Tor the discerning, there were 'Thali' meals in which a plate full of rice  and hot dahl and vegetables are served.A
n edible asparagus seemed to be the hot favourite.
There was continuous activity in the restaurant- Busloads of travellers
came, ate and went.One old and frail couple came. The owner of the restaurant escorted them herself to a good table and served them. I was touched by her gesture, because the old people were evidently very poor.
This is my contribution to this week's Our World Tuesday, so ably managed by Sylvia and others.

    I read about Momos often, now I know how they look - thanks for taking us out for lunch.
