Watch: Scottish Vlogger Relishes Iconic Fish Kabiraji In Kolkata, Compares It To UK Dish
From its very own version of biryani to sweets like rasgulla and sandesh, Kolkata is a haven for all food lovers. Among the latest to join the list of the city's admirers is Scottish vlogger Hugh Abroad. Hugh could not stop raving about the food in the city, especially its famous fish kabiraji - a fried Bhekti fish served with onion salad, ketchup and mustard. The vlogger visited the Indian Coffee House to try the dish. Priced at just Rs 125, the dish looked "dyn-a-mite" to Hugh. Also Read: Canadian Woman Tastes Misal Pav, But Her Rating Is Not 10/10 The content creator found the dish "quite heavy and a little bit spicy." Talking about the mustard, Hugh said it gave a "nice kick" to the dish. He even compared it to the fish and chips he's used to eating back home. "I'm used to a beer batter, which is very crispy on the outside. But this is pretty soft and very bready." While it wasn't as flaky and soft as he expected, he rated it 7.5 out of 10. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Hugh Abroad (@ Here is how Instagram users reacted to the viral video: "It's good to see that a foreigner is appreciating Kolkata more than any other Indian state," a user wrote. "The kabiraji name comes from 'coverage' because the outer layer is literally covered with eggs and deep fried, which is what makes it crispy yet soft," an account explained. Others had some food recommendations for Hugh. "Did you try phuchka in Kolkata?" a user asked, referring to the city's famous street food delicacy. "Try kochuri, please!!! Try Balaram Mullick's Radha Ballavi, baked rasgolla and Sri Hari's Langcha and kochuri too," a foodie recommended. "This is opposite my college!! So nostalgic right now," an account mentioned. People also had a lot to say about the Indian Coffee House. "Indian Coffee House is one of the iconic and oldest cafeterias in Kolkata(India). This place is still pocket-friendly for all. Once upon a time, this joint was a gathering house of eminent people. It's rather historical," a comment read. The clip was shared some weeks ago but it has continued to make the rounds online.

Instagram Head Adam Mosseri Tastes Kaju Katli, Laddoos And More
Adam Mosseri, the head of popular social media platform Instagram, travelled to India recently. His visit made headlines for various reasons, as he interacted with celebrities, content creators, chefs and various media personalities. Recently, a foodie snippet from his India trip went viral on social media. In the clip, Adam Mosseri can be seen trying a few sweet and spicy Indian treats. The tasting took place during his appearance on the podcast 'Moment of Silence' hosted by Naina Bhan and Sakshi Shivdasani. As he played a fun game with the duo, they introduced him to some of the famous snacks and sweets they had laid out in front of him. When the rules of the game obliged him to eat a spicy snack, he asked them which one was the spiciest. They presented him with a bowl of Lay's Magic Masala chips, which they called "iconic." He tasted the potato chip and declared that it was "tasty." His tentative tone made the hosts jokingly ask him, "Did you doubt it?" He replied, "No, I thought it was going to be crazy spicy." After that, he unabashedly ate some more chips.

"It's very tasty," he said as he inspected the delicacy and savoured its flavour. The hosts explained that it is especially eaten during festivals, and that it is often topped with silver leaf (varq). Adam Mosseri noted that it reminded him of Middle Eastern halwa. He restated his appreciation for kaju katli: "It's delicious." Next, he was given a bowl of mini gulab jamuns. The hosts struggled to explain what they are (without using Indian words) and settled on describing them as "deep-fried flour balls in sugar syrup." Adam tasted one and said, "It's almost like a doughnut. But like, completely soaked in sugar." The hosts then gave him what looked to be motichoor laddoo. As he took a piece in his hand, he noted that it was "very dense." Naina explained that it was because it is made with ghee. She also told him that kids often steal this festive sweet because they like them so much. After tasting the laddoo, he said that he understood why kids would be inclined to do so. Watch his reactions to all the food items here or take a sneak peek below: View this post on Instagram A post shared by Moment of Silence (@momentofsilencepod) During his India visit, Adam Mosseri dined with Deepika Padukone and Ranveer Singh at an award-winning restaurant in Bandra, Mumbai.

British Vlogger Tastes Masala Soda, Her Reaction To The "Strong Flavours" Goes Viral
Videos of foreign influencers exploring different types of Indian street foods often go viral on social media. But they don't limit themselves to snacks, dishes and desserts. After all, India also has a rich variety of local drinks and traditional beverages. Recently, a reel showing a British vlogger tasting a desi drink at a local stall in South India has grabbed many eyeballs on Instagram. The now-viral video shared by the digital creator Deanna (@sociallywanderful) is titled "First time trying masala soda in Kerala, India." Also Read: Foreign Motorcyclists Try Misal Pav For The First Time In Maharashtra, Video Is Viral In the video, we see that Deanna is accompanied by vlogger Abhnav Reddy. The duo are at a humble establishment in Palakkad where different drinks seem to be available. The vendor prepares their order by mixing soda with a pre-made masala. He hands over the fizzy drinks, and we get to see both their reactions. Deanna takes a sip and seems taken aback by the distinctive taste of the soda. She frowns at the glass in her hand. Noting her response, someone off-camera says, "But she doesn't like." Others laugh. "It's not for me; I don't like it," Deanna says and smiles sportingly. In the caption, she wrote, "As you can tell, it was not my cup of tea - the flavours were STRONG. And not a drink I would typically order. But it was definitely good to try it." She added, "If you get the opportunity, I would recommend trying it once... but it's a unique flavour and definitely not for everyone." Watch the complete viral video below: View this post on Instagram A post shared by Deanna | Slow Travel • Mindset • 🪷 (@sociallywanderful) Read the reactions of some Instagram users here: "All part of the experience." "I love that you still tried it, though!" "Your reaction is precious." "So interesting." "Well, at least you tried." "I'm an Indian, but I don't like masala soda." "I will try most foods and drinks, but this is making me question that." "Hahah, your expressions are killing me, that's a no for me to try." "You guys can't handle it. But it's one of our favourites. Try the 'nannari sarbath' (the brown coloured one) next time. You guys will love it for sure." "Ha ha, this is me. My husband loves it; I'm like, 'Oh no, not for me'."
