State that loves its pork, strange encounters at Kohima’s Naga Bazaar | Highway On My Podcast Ep 11

State that loves its pork, strange encounters at Kohima’s Naga Bazaar | Highway On My Podcast Ep 11

In this episode, Rocky, Mayur and Abhinandan visit the “land of festivals”, #Nagaland, as proclaimed by a huge gate they passed through during their travels. Mayur, who is vegetarian, talks about his struggles with finding vegetarian food during this schedule of the shoot. He describes Naga food as “heavily pungent”, thanks to the Nagas’ love for adding fermented soybean sauce and fermented yam to all their preparations. Rocky chips in with his two cents on why the food in this part of India is pungent.br br Moving away from food for a bit, Abhinandan recalls the influence of the West on Nagaland and how that has led to a widespread love for rock and metal music. Rocky, once again, dives into the reason behind why the Nagas love their rock ‘n’ roll and how this love came to be.br br Abhinandan says the highlight of the Nagaland trip was the wet market at #KohimaNagaBazaar. Unlike the infamous wet markets that led to the birth of this podcast, this wet market was very hygienic. The gang recollects the weirdest animals they saw being sold there, which included caterpillars, rodents, frogs, eels, snails, snakes and hornets, to name a few.br br Abhinandan also talks about the pickles he picked up from the #DreamCafe in Kohima, and how they helped him survive bland meals back home in Delhi for the next couple of months.
