Food, I tell myself (during these brief moments), is not just about eating; it’s also about delving deep into history. One of her passions is the food served in the Goalondo Steamer. The steamer connected parts of what was then undivided Bengal to Goalondo, where the Padma meets the Brahmaputra. Legend has it that the food on the steamer was superb. Then we had a small portion of black rice and bamboo rice, mixed with hung curd and kasundi, a wonderfully heady mustard sauce.
