this reminds me of the incident my mother narrated to me long back, since my parents are bengali when they came to bombay 35 years back, ma did not know a single word of hindi and baba's vocab was bare minimum but ma and her two neighbours one maharashtrian and other south indian too dint have a common language but would have animated discussions whenever the ladies had time....
its amazing that we can communicate not just with other humans but also animals and plants without knowing their language and yet we refuse to communicate at times with our loved ones...
at home too we celebrate ganapati durga puja christmas with the same zeal and freak out on da biryani we get at friends over eid......
so in this case food knows no language ... ha ha
our ganapati this year
