Dried fruit!

 

Dried fruit!

Just wanted to let you know that I'm back on the happy food side. Childhood diets still worked. Anyway, the point is that I have been fond of dry fruits since childhood. What kind of high-end dried fruit was it? For example, "Maluk" but I think it may have been given different names in different parts of the country. What is the owner of beautiful form, appearance and size? Black black colour, the size of a bee and the resemblance is not remembered now, it is possible to be the same in pleasure. I will go to buy it today, if I see flies sitting on it, I will identify the flies with a convex glass and separate them. And yes, the fruit was as big as a teardrop, but the seed was quite big, sorry for the exaggeration, there was no difference in the taste, but I couldn't go to buy it today due to my physical weakness, I sent it to a friend, he got this. The rare gem could not be found anywhere.

As a child, there were many more nutritious fruits and drinks. The top of the drinks was kanji syrup, made from black carrots and coloured purple. In street carts, vendors would have filled them in clay pots and wrapped the pots in red cloth. Ask a rind about the taste of its bitterness. Heat-stressed passers-by would get "drunken" as they passed by. It was once available from a carriage on McLeod Road. The fruits also contained "grounds", but I unfortunately missed out on tasting them. Then a fruit in the distorted form of a melon still provides the people with fruit fascination. It was called "Phutan". You must have heard the daily Punjabi phrase "Chal Phatan Kha" which means "disposal". These fruits were fed to the animals after the melon season was over or the thrifty people ate them eagerly because of their benefits. This ridge is dull

Let's say that these were the blessings that Allah deprived the nobles of, but there is still some such public food, although now they are also being tried as much as possible to deprive them of the sons of this earth. For example, there are ornaments. Black on the outside, white on the inside, roasted on the streets. Neither sweet nor dull, nor sour, but delicious! Subhan Allah there are plums but they are being sold at the price of apples. Gachak is made by melting jaggery in gram dal. Before we used to eat mulberries like berries from any plant growing anywhere, now you can see with your hands! Subhan Allah sugarcane juice! Which is called "roo" in Punjabi, is freshly distilled from sugarcane and used by hepatitis patients and healthy customers in the same glass to drink gastight and yes sugarcane, I forgot, but it seems even her increasing price should not force her lovers to sing the song of hijr.

I have written this entire column just to end this pride of cashew nuts, pistachios, almonds and walnuts etc., "Hey Mian, what are you selling?" Fruits and dry fruits were what people of my age used to eat. Yes, we used to take walnuts for playing. As for apples, mangoes, melons, grapes, kino and other such fruits, I used to look down on them while passing through the bazaar and pass them by, and I do so these days.
