WanderFood Wednesday – Grilled Cheese, in India?
I’m usually pretty good about sticking to local food when I travel. But at the end of more than 3 weeks in India back in January, I was craving something from home.
I reluctantly ordered a grilled cheese sandwich from room service. I say “reluctantly” because I totally expected something unrelated to a grilled cheese sandwich I might have at home, and perhaps a few fries. What I got was the perfect antidote to my craving and it wasn’t because I was simply homesick for home cookin’. This was GOOD!
I truthfully don’t know what sort of cheese was used but it wasn’t American slices and it was tasty. And I was delighted to have so many french fries. The cuke and tomato were bonus.

Life’s Short, Eat Well!
I completely understand the craving for something from home. After I’ve been away for a while, I have the same craving. Mine is usually in the form of a sweet one; I start missing chocolate chip cookies.
now i know what i’m having for lunch today. thanks!
How ironic! I am currently in new Delhi and just ordered the same thing…....alas my experience didn’t end up the same way…..two slices of bread and something looking like cheese in the middle….oh and potato crisp on the side
Fire and Ice Pizza in Kathmandu has some of the best pizza I have had anywhere. However, I would not recommend the nachos I had at an Irish bar in Phuket. That was just a bad idea.
I think it depends how long you are away from home. Living overseas, I frequently crave food from home, but when i am traveling I try to eat the local food.
Mmm… I definitely understand just craving something from home – and I think a grilled cheese was a great choice! Though it’s tough to know what to expect… I’m glad it turned out so tasty!
I think anytime we are traveling for a longer period away from our culture we crave a little something from home. I tend to want a burger or chocolate chip cookies. I’m glad your experience was a positive one!
