Take a left at the Goat.

I thought this could be a fun post about things that don't make any sense but in Kolkata...

Such as: Take a left at the Goat.
Everyone on Sudder street would know what that meant. There's only one Goat... it has been there for over three months and no one's eaten it yet. There was actually a day that I didn't see it and I silently rejoiced that it had ended up as dinner... then it came back the next day. And I'm pretty sure it didn't resurrect... My question is when is the thing going to be eaten? Okay so that may sound a bit odd for those of you not in India... but really, if you have a goat, you eat it. Why let it sit around for 3 months, become a landmark, get tax exempt status, and then special protection as a national monument... at which point you really can't eat it.


How about the magic price...
If you can't read it, (and I don't blame you, it's blurry) The prices are a base price + value added tax, plus Etc... for example, the champagne 560 + VAT (roughly 10%) (this should bring it up to 620) + ETC = 1300 ... apparently ETC in India means we multiply by two...

No smoking section? I thought Hookas were for smoking flavoured tobacco.

Dinner conversation? How's your stool? Been having diarrhea?
