I was in Delhi recently, and I
decided to step out for a meal one day. I’m not much of a food person; most of
the stuff I ingest usually tastes like my own foot. But I do have a weakness
for dessert.
So I went to Khan Market to get
something to eat. Instead of eating though, I ended up drinking a few beers
(thanks to my very strong will power and poor taste in friends), by the end of
which I was starving. And also terribly late. So I decided to pick up food
(i.e. dessert). I went to Big Chill, which is basically an overpriced
Italian-ish restaurant styled like a café. The place is extremely trendy, but
it’s fair to say that the reason behind its grand success – good food at decent
prices – has been diluted somewhat; a look at the RHS column on the menu should
testify.
In any case, there’s this one
particular dessert they serve there called the Mississippi Mud Pie. It’s this
filthy (‘decadent’ is passé) chocolate based thing that I really love. They
serve this hefty slice of cold cake, consisting of a peanuty, wooden crust, some chocolate/peanut butter/ice-cream
based cake thing, doused in thick, diabetic chocolate sauce, the last
ingredient being a personal favourite. The coolness of the cake thing, combined
with my own coolness, strikes quite a contrast with the hot sauce and the
elegant long-handled spoon they give with it. I was ordering takeaway this time
though, so no spoon (unless you count plastic ones).
It cost (or costed, since mostly
Indian people would be reading this) a grand sum upwards of 200 rupees,
although I’m not sure of the exact figure since I made my friends pay for me. And
since this is primarily a review blog, I should get down to the actual review
of the Mississippi Mud Pie Takeaway at Big Chill:
