Watch: Delhi Street Vendor Makes Bizarre 'Litchi Gravy Momos', Internet In Disbelief
If there's one thing we never get tired of, it's desi street food. From spicy golgappas and tangy chaat to buttery pav bhaji, our love for local flavours knows no bounds. We've also grown quite accustomed to seeing some out-of-the-box food experiments. Chocolate samosas? Sure. Fanta Maggi? Unfortunately, yes. But just when we thought the internet had peaked with food fusions, a new viral video has arrived, and it might just be the king of all food experiments. Brace yourself: litchi gravy momos. Yes, you read that right. In a now-viral video, a street food vendor in Delhi is seen making a plate of fried momos that look golden, crisp, and, quite honestly, delicious. So far, so good. Then comes the twist. The vendor pulls out a hot pan and begins preparing a rich, creamy gravy. You expect something spicy, maybe with onions, tomatoes, and garlic? Yes, but that's not all. The vendor soon reaches for a bottle of litchi-flavoured Fresca (a soft drink) and pours it right into the gravy. And just when your brain is still processing that, he tosses in actual litchi chunks. The sweet, syrupy fruit floating in savoury sauce is enough to leave even the most adventurous foodies confused. He lets the mixture simmer, giving it a quick mix before pouring the fruity, fragrant gravy generously over the crispy momos. The plate is then handed to a food vlogger, who appears just as baffled as we are. Also Read: Watch the full video: View this post on Instagram A post shared by Kartik_bagh???????????? (@bhukkad_bagh) The comments section exploded with reactions. One user simply asked, "Why would anyone do this to momos?" while another declared, "This is a crime against street food." Someone added, "Fresca in gravy? I need therapy after this." A momo fan lamented, "Delhi needs a momo intervention." Others couldn't help but turn to humour. "Even aliens wouldn't eat this," wrote one, and another said, "My brain short-circuited just watching this." Another user added, "This is not fusion; this is betrayal." And then there was that one brave voice: "I'd try it... once, for science." Also Read: What Is Australian Barbie?

Viral: Food Vlogger Tries Seaweed Milk, Calls It "Comforting". Internet Says It's "Bit Gross"
Bizarre food combos have swept the internet with their uncanny preparations. From Fanta Maggi to bubblegum biryani — the list is endless. Love it or hate it, you simply cannot ignore the trend. Along similar lines, a Singapore-based food vlogger has posted a video on Instagram, presenting viewers with another weird culinary combination: milk with seaweed. Seaweed is widely consumed in many Asian cuisines. It is used to cook dishes like miso soup, sushi rolls, seaweed salad and Korean Gim, to name a few. But seaweed in milk is unexpected. The video opens to the food vlogger dipping a sheet of seaweed into a glass of milk. 'Simply add seaweed to milk and let it soak for a while,' advises the vlogger. Once the seaweed is completely soaked, he removes it from the glass with the help of chopsticks. Now, it was time for him to take a sip. The text layout captures the vlogger's expectations: 'I got a good feeling about this.' Safe to say, he was not disappointed calling the quirky beverage 'super super ok.' The vlogger describes the preparation as 'a savoury, umami milk. Simple, calming and comforting.' He urges his social media followers to 'give it a try.' The side note read, 'Chocolate Milk? Banana Milk? How about Seaweed Milk?' View this post on Instagram A post shared by Calvin Lee | Singapore Foodie (@foodmakescalhappy) The internet has plenty to say about the post. 'OMG! Yes!!!! I have tried it before,' shared an enthusiastic foodie. 'So what if I use the wrong milk?' wrote another sarcastically. One critic commented, 'A bit like gross. Mix seaweed with seawater next?' 'Bro, you need to try the wasabi flavour and tell us,' requested a user. 'You probably taste your finger,' read a remark. Before that, the food vlogger experimented with the cult favourite snack, Maggi. The item in discussion – peanut butter and jelly Maggi. As per the food enthusiast, peanut butter thickened the soup and added a nuttiness to it. Meanwhile, the jam brought 'a touch of sweetness' to the meal.
