| Rabindra Nath |
He understood that food is a matter of juice, a matter of enjoyment. Not only eating by oneself but also feeding others, excellence in serving food, new ideas about food, etc., cannot be stored unless one is a gourmet.
There is a lot of debate about which is his favorite food, and which is not. Whenever he saw her eating, he wrote that it was his favorite food. But there is no detailed information about which food Rabindranath liked. However, Rabindranath was very much aware of the food, various activities, the writings of others get clearly described.
But yes, it is true that Rabindranath, like Mirza Ghalib, liked to eat mangoes. He took the mango with him when he went to Japan. His son Rathindranath wrote that they once bought a box of Alfonso mango from the port of Mumbai when they fell ill and went to America. Even in his childhood poems, there is a saying about mango, throw milk in the milk. In short, the mango was his favorite fruit. But without it? Excluding food and drink, that is good. Now I will talk a little more about the gourmet Rabindranath.
The author has gone with his family from Bhagalpur in Baneful Bihar to meet Rabindranath during a spring festival in Santiniketan. He took with him a message made from hand-made home cow milk of his wife. When I met Rabindranath the next morning, it was my turn to have tea after the salutation. Rabindranath saw the message box in the hand of Baneful, and said, what is it? Baneful said, Sandesh. He opened the box and placed it in front of Rabindranath. The poet was fascinated by a message.
Looking at Kshitimohanbabu, Rabindranath said, It is the cause of great concern.
Rabindranath said while you want to eat Sandesh, you have to go to Bangladesh. There are only two juice makers in Bangladesh. The first is Dwarik, and the second is Rabindranath Tagore. I am seeing the appearance of the third person.
I know the sweet message made in a good baby with my pocket, but not a chatty thing. If the joint function of eyes, tongue, nose, and brain is not proportional, it cannot have said in this way. Most of the Bengalis have eyes and tongues when it comes to food. Very few people have runny noses and brains. Less than that, these four organs of human beings move simultaneously. Rabindranath was one of those rare people.
Why?
In the same interview, Rabindranath asked Baneful to meet him in the afternoon. Rabindranath tells Baneful, Anyway, have tea in the afternoon. Reading your writing, it seems that you love to eat salt. How about pea Chugai big Kabale in the afternoon? There will be a red chili gonja in the middle of the ghugani. What do you say?
The colorful nature of Shalban of Birbhum in spring, the afternoon of the spring festival, at that time the big Kabli pea ghugani. Hot tea with a dash of red pepper or chili gonja in it! There is no reason not to agree with a connoisseur like Bonaful. He permitted to say quite well. But what about his subtle sense of humor? After reading the writings of Baneful, did he assume that Baneful likes to eat salt! What is the relationship between writing and salt? While the relationship between writing and peppery is not direct, there is a relationship. Bonaful criticized Rabindranath somewhere. That caught his eye. On the same day, he said to Baneful, your name should have been Bichuti. The flames of the blows you have inflicted have not abated.
He writes about Rabindranath in Rabindrasahitya or memoirs of various writers. There are many thoughts about his food and drink in his life. But his food philosophy is found in very few places. Yes, philosophy. There is an extensive culture involved with food. Some call it reform, some call it faith, some call it philosophy. Every human being has a philosophy about food. Rabindranath also had.
If he could eat, Rabindranath would be satisfied. Photo: Prothom Alo If he could eat, Rabindranath would be satisfied. Photo: Prothom Alo According to his writings, Rabindranath loved to eat and drink. His son Rathindranath also wrote about it. Indira Devi has also written quite a bit. Others have written similarly about Rabindranath. However, it was probably Rathindranath who caught his food philosophy. As a son, he got a chance to see his father Rabindranath very closely. Just as he knew his likes and dislikes, he also knew what the world of thoughts of Rabindranath about food was.
I must remember the momentous meeting of Rabindranath members holds house-to-house meetings every month. There were songs, poems, performances. There was a lot of chatting and of course eating. Several times it was his turn to hang out in his own house. He did it to the best of his ability and taste. Probably the first time it was his turn to organize a whimsical meeting, Rathindranath spoke of that time.
Rathindranath said, When it was time to invite my father, there was a commotion in the house. He ordered his mother to make a completely new feeding arrangement. There will be nothing trivial every position will have features. He was not satisfied with the order. And he also started telling me how to cook a new type of cooking. He Wrote Five tables for five of us. There are different types of food arranged in layers. The tables are strange. Each table has three or four (I do not remember exactly), each with food and drink. When the food on the top floor gets eaten, if you push it a little with your hand, it will move away, and the second dish with food will come out. According to Baneful, there was a caretaker behind each of them.
And even behind the seat of his one and a half-year-old son.
The food was good. But this arrangement of food was the food philosophy of Rabindranath. Nowhere to be found, Rabindranath is overreacting to food. There was nobility in feeding, there was excellence in serving food, but there is no such thing as ‘I ate a lot’ On the contrary, not only the forest flower but many others have written that if he could eat it, he would be satisfied.
