In the process of traveling, street food has always been the focus of travel. Among the six elements of travel, "eating" is ranked first. In fact, it means that when traveling to different regions, the first thing you need to taste is local snacks and

Dishes, because these dishes are the essence of the food culture of this region, can bring you a good tourist experience. People love delicious food, so street food is often very popular among foreign tourists.

When it comes to street food, a big gourmet country like China naturally has many unique local snacks. Our street food is diverse and delicious, but there are also some countries whose street food is not inferior to ours, such as our neighbor to the west.

This country is India. India is the largest country in South Asia. It is a multi-ethnic country composed of more than 100 ethnic groups. The main ethnic group is Hindustani, accounting for 46.3% of the total population. It is also a country with a long history. Although

The birthplace of ancient India does not entirely belong to today's India, but ancient India and the cultural construction that influenced it. As early as 2500 BC, some civilizations were born here. Around 1500, the Aryans arrived.

It brought the civilization of Central Asia, so India is actually a melting pot of multiple ethnic groups and cultures, kneading these cultures together.

Therefore, in terms of food culture, India, which is multi-ethnic and has a long history, naturally has a lot of street snacks, most of which are curry.

Among them, there is a relatively unique thing that attracts people's attention. In fact, it is the root vegetable of "Indian cut cake". It is a relatively common plant in India. It is actually the root of a tree.

, can also be regarded as a kind of fruit, but although it is a fruit, it is very large and looks like a big bucket. Its peel is yellow and its flesh is white. It can only be grown in areas with soft soil.

Each one weighs hundreds of kilograms. The fruit can grow all year round, but it is not easy to grow such a big one. Therefore, it is a rather peculiar fruit in India. It tastes similar to yacon and is regarded by the locals as

Small fruits or staple food.

The reason why some people call it "Indian cut cake" is also because this plant is valuable.

We all know that cut cake is an expensive street snack, and it may cost a lot of money at a time. In the past, there was even a case of compensation of 160,000 yuan for knocking over a piece of cut cake.

Although this root vegetable is not that exaggerated, it is actually not cheap.

Local street vendors sell it in slices, but the slices are real slices, and the thin layer can still pass through the sunlight. However, one slice costs 20 rupees, which is equivalent to 2 yuan in our currency.

, doesn’t sound like much, but when you combine the price of goods in India with the fruit weighing hundreds of kilograms, you can see how valuable this plant is, hence the nickname “Indian version of cut cake”.

However, it is said that this kind of fruit is actually not very tasty. The flesh is relatively hard. It is mainly eaten fresh. It is difficult for non-locals to get used to eating this kind of fruit. It sounds similar to our cutting cakes.

I wonder if you have ever eaten cut cake?
