The prasad/ bhog at Puri and other temples in Orissa is really inviting, especially in terms of their olfactory appeal. It looks like a kichdi and is sold in small mud pots.
The ubiqutous foods of the state are: aloo chup ( bonda), samosa, bara ( vada) , gulgula, kaaja ( a sweet) and chennapoda ( a kind of pannner like sweet). You also get a kind of dahi vada with a lot of mixture on it.
Another interesting snack is a sprout salad that hawkers sell and serve in a leaf bowl and leaf spoon!

what a quaint idea -- a leaf for a spoon.
there should be a kiddies book on these things...
the leaves that people on... in various states.
take it away, art!
the leaves that people eat on!
heh heh!
We really relished chennapoda.
