A friend of mine is now a proud owner of a 'Party Palace' ... now he can tell his 'khuire' friends that he owns a Palace! He wants to offer healthy, not-so-oily khana to his guests. And his 2 million Rupees investment will probably go down the drain if he follows this 'health is wealth' formula!
We are Nepalese... we don't want them 'organic' stuff. If the food is not chill-O, Pee-RO, Bhoo-Tay-KO then the party folks will burn down the place. He spent thousands of rupees in them 'chillo kagaz ko' menus! I know he is a creative guy but when I checked them menus... I was shocked.
No, there weren't pictures of hot ladies dressed up as vegetables or some angry butcher get nasty with a Khasi... this guy was offering SNAKES as appetizers!
God must be crazy. Well, my friend must be crazy. We are not in China and we are not Chinese. If we were in China then we can cook anything from monkeys to donkeys but this is Nepal. Lot of party palaces don't even offer ' Buff' because that would offend our high-class, khandani BCT (Bhramin - Chetrri - Thakuri) crowd!
So what the hell is he doing by buying containers full of snakes from China? So I asked him, "So when do I get to eat some snakes?" ... and he looked at me as if I had been smoking crack!
I looked at the menu. He looked at the menu. He tore up the menu and shouted, "Ma-Chi- Saley, Bhaa-tey... gadha lay satya-naash garyo"
He gave this 'design & print' contract to his cousin, a nice chubby guy who once proclaimed, "nobody designs better than me... I am the best" ... well, he may be the best but somebody forgot to proofread the thing before printing it!
I knew our 'design' guru wasn't good @ spelling. I did check out his website and it was funny. He may be good with graphics but somebody needs to teach him how to use the 'Spell Checker' ... it's not that difficult, is it?
I wanted to ask our 'flash' guru ... how do you 'chick' your mail? And what's up with this 'SAND' feedback!
So what do we do now? Will our friend print new menus? No, I have been given the responsibility of pasting 'SNACKS' on ten thousand menus! Why me? I can't believe this... I should start following the 'See-Hear-Speak ... No Evil' mantra!

ReplyDeleteI think offering SNAKES as appetizers would be a great business in Nepal if we can keep it a secret from all our kattar hindu friends :)
