Chennai wedding receptions or International food malls!
Wedding Reception Menu have become a show of mindlessness. As a matter of show off rather than any sense of quality. The choice of food resembles more of a food mall rather than a feast or a wholesome meal. The old fashioned 'bandhi' has long since given way to the buffet where the more choice has come to indicate better food. I have long since decided not to attend these parade of food where each person could waste eventually 50 gms of plastic, including water bottles, cups, spoons, forks and several other paper cups for different food items. Just now R came back from yet another of those mindless wedding receptions and listed out the menu, decided to record it as she narrated the same. North Indian, Chinese, Chaat, Salad Meal, South Indian traditional and a Sandwich (this I haven't heard before, looks even more out of place)...and this is a completely vegetarian family fare. invariably no cook can excel all of these types of items and much of it only serves enumeration
