I have yet to meet a Bengali that doesn't like fish. They grow up with the love of river-food and sea food. Who can blame them, nothing hits the spot quite like a good fish dish.
Bhortas are great yup, you must make friends with Bengalis and they will take you to have some good homemade specialities and definitely bhortas will be there....it is staple in their cuisine.
@scorpionx I told you the iceberg would be explored past just the tip
Yah Trevor normally makes good effort to learn some basics of the language wherever he goes. He is Canadian based out of China (went there to learn Chinese cooking and ended up travel+vlogging instead) and knows chinese almost fluently (at least 3 - 4 times better than I do at least)....so he is obv good at languages!
When he was in TN, I remember he learned/picked up some simple Tamil phrases (again to get around easy and approach ppl easy)....rest of India he also spoke some basic Hindi etc.....because he knows making even a little effort to impress those around him and be polite (esp in their own language) etc goes a long way. You know how we desis love it when foreign people do make effort to talk to us in our mother tongue
BTW, would you say its more appropriate to address "Vai" or "Mama" (like trevor says) with the shopkeepers etc that are more close to your age whom you have just met?
Mama (beyond regular uncle meaning) I thought is for "elder bro" that is good friend of yours etc (just from what I know of interaction among my friends etc)
I don’t like fish. I prefer lamb.
