Looks interesting.

Baloch gola: is that what that's called? Ahhh. My gran used to make something like that.

Lola, is that green tea icecream on the previous page?

Dana, that might have been green tea ice cream. I don't exactly remember.

As for baloch gola, it was my first time eating an Indian dessert. It's similar to other south Asian shaved ice dessert, like the one in the previous page with the green tea ice cream, except this one doesn't have ice cream. Dana, did your grandmother put syrup and condense milk into the shaved ice and top with fruits too? Or how did she make it? The others I've eaten, Taiwanese, I think, don't put syrup, just condense milk and have more fruits and ice cream. I think I like that better.

Ohhh goodness, I don't rightly recall. I just remember something that tasted and had a texture something like you just decribed.

I know she used quite a lot of milk in her sweet making. She used to boil it down to a kind of mush. Wouldn't surprise me at all if some condensed milk hadn't made it in there. I remember it being very sweet. Not sure whether there was golden syrup, but hers was more likely to be a recipe from India rather than Taiwan, so probably.

Because you thought so, I looked to see what dish could be made from it. Voila....banana flower salad.

This is a great thread, LB.

Great for viewing after the rush so I can shoot into town and grab foods as seen here.

[Lola Bunny]

Thanks, Slang. Did you end buying any food? If yes, what did you get?

Baked orka. This time cayenne was added so it was nice and spicy. :-D
