Plea to Rahul Dravid: Endorse 'Maddur Vada

Date: Jun 13, 2006

Mr.GVK's assimilation of MV (not to be mistaken for its as widely appreciated namesake, who had the "Sir" prefix) seems complete. As complete as Mysore's internalisation of GVK. MV is making him go bonkers. This moment, I visualise him in one of those South Indian eateries in California, sitting before a plateful of MVs! (Or, has he come back?)

Ambarish may not be the best role model for a gourmet. It is difficult to imagine him biting into the MV with one hand, without holding in the other the lubricant to push it down. Moreover, those watching him assault the crispy might mistake that it is the oily MV which has added to his girth, forgetting that the culprit is what is in his other hand. That may limit the scope of MV as a short-eat to go with one's drink.

California has yet to import it - Maddur Vada (not to be confused with the other MV - masale-vada). They have Chinese, Italian, Sushi, Thai, Labanese food joints, not to mention our own Udipi, Woodlands, Sharavanaa, Bhima; a host of other our northie food joints. But not an outlet to raise the Mysore-Maddur culinary flag. A point to be noted by our Gayatri Tiffin Room, Mahesh Prasad, Ramyas and other home-grown Mysore eatery establishments. Isn't it time they too had their finger in the Calif. pie ?

Only one problem with your suggestion Mr. GVK. GTR, Mahesh Prasad, Ramya, none of them make good maddur vada. The taste of the Maddur vada from the road side/train side near Maddur is not replicated easily in Mysore or elsewhere. Maybe it is a special secret recipe'. Something close can be managed by the ones you have mentioned perhaps, but not quite. Anyway, for North American based Mysoreans/Indians, perhaps any Maddur vada is better than none!
