ReplyDeleteMark you,given that he is so pro Tamil we could all end up in the jug...
Little Hut -- they should start a franchise! I would go!
ReplyDeleteIs that gaping hole under the sign the Little Hut trap door/entrance?
ReplyDelete"Sari-coloured sweets", what a delightful description. I also remember the wonderful colours of the fast-food in India. Then one year I invited my Indian friends back to ours for my mum's laboriously prepared Christmas dinner and they practically sicked it up - ungrateful perishers :-)
ReplyDelete"Golden Pudding Cupboard" sounds so delicious. Does it trickle treacle?
ReplyDeleteIf Little Hut spreads to these parts I'll definitely go, especially if they have a Golden Pudding Cupboard with Sri Lankan jelly and custard.
ReplyDeleteWhat's wattalappam?
little hut's logo looks remarkably like Pizza Hut's logo (large generic american pizza chain).
ReplyDeleteyeah, that DOES look like a "door" for something below the logo....
Jelly & Custard!
ReplyDeleteI'm a child again! :¬)

I wonder if there is a copyright infringement in there somewhere...
ReplyDeleteI love the idea of a Golden Pudding Cupboard. I wonder if it would translate well here in Canada. One can only dream...
Mrs fly - I'm flattered (and delighted) that my posts have made you want to return.
ReplyDeletexl - me too!
MJ - Yes - Little Hut is only for little people
Gadjo - Our food must look very grim to Asian people.
Nursey - there is always a jug of treacle next to the pudding cupboard.
Eryl - have put up link to wattalappam, it's like creme caramel made with coconut milk, jaggery and cardamon
Deborah Pipes little hut's logo looks remarkably like Pizza Hut's logo
Hmmm I thought it looked familiar
Map - Since being here, I am often reminded of childhood.
Scribe - You could always invent a Canadian Golden Pudding Cupboard. I'm sure it would translate.
