Bombay
A city�s cuisine is what its people make of it. That could be true of almost every metropolis in the world, but Bombay. Here there simmers a melting pot of different cuisines. In the homes of people of various communities. On the streets. At restaurants big and small. To put a tag to it, to identify a food as being that of Bombay�s would be difficult. It�s best to just enjoy it. Dip your spoon in and serve yourself a small helping.
