There's no doubt that Indians are extreme foodies. We're passionate about our food and savour every bite until our hearts, stomach and tastebuds are satisfied. For example, even if our bank accounts are down to the last few 100 rupees, we would use it to enjoy the perfect dessert and not bother about where the money will come for a hearty meal tomorrow! We mean, while eating breakfast, we start thinking about lunch, then while enjoying lunch, we think about the evening snack. The cycle is never ending, and we’re sure you get the drift!
