Born again Foodie

                      Born Again Foodie...                     

The Covid pandemic has not been kind to foodies and particularly the meat loving foodies like me. My ability to sniff out those little joints for my next meal has been challenged. My business tours were made pleasurable by this constant endeavour to search and identify places popular with locals is not going to happen for  a long time again .  I have had to change my habits rapidly during the lockdown and continue to find ways to satisfy my meat cravings. The lockdown has allowed me to experiment with cooking and trying out my favourite  local specialities from Tamilnadu from the comfort of my home.                                                                                                                                

I have discovered the presence of online meat purveyors like Licious and Tendercuts that  offer the convenience of home delivery along with a wide range of meats chicken and fish in various cuts, and also in marinades. My online hunt also led me to the discovery of a brand called Thillais that offers my favourites restaurant style products that are easy and convenient with a wide range of single serve spice mixes that are now on the market. 
The major advantage I realised with this was the mixes contained onion, ginger and garlic so i did not have to waste time on peeling and dicing. I was able to find my favourites such as Madurai Mutton Fry, Madras Fish Curry Masala and also a Palipalayam Chicken Mix. Needless to say I was bowled over to have all my restaurant favourites cooked at home.

The lockdown will end soon but my jaunts to these little hole in the wall style place will end now atleast for the time being. My meat cravings have been satisfied i am not just a consumer but am also a cook and a provider of great tasting home cooked meals that are healthy and pocket friendly. If you would like to know more about how you can enjoy being a foodie at home please subscribe to Masala University.
