Question
It is a two-day journey by train from Pune to Kolkata. If you were to go on this trip, what food items would you carry with you? How would you pack them? Make a list on the blackboard of all the packed food. What food would you eat first?
Solution
- I will carry those items which do not get spoiled easily. I will pack them in dry containers and packets.
- I will carry biscuits, chips, dry fruits, dry sweets, sattu (gram powder), curd, chiwda (rice flakes), murmure (puffed rice), puri, dry sabji, etc.
- I will first try to finish puri and sabji because they can get spoiled in a few days.
