Thanks to Gowanus Lounge, I just discovered What Are We Eating,  described as a bricolage of food. A socio-political archive. A guide to global gastronomy. I don’t know. Send us a photo of what you’re eating for dinner: whatrweeating@gmail.com

It’s really cool. People send pictures of what they are eating – from all over the world. The above is a shot of "the expansive beach at Besant Nagar in Chennai, India."

Alive during the cooler hours of early morning and late evening, everyone comes here to eat fried food, play a carnival game, and enjoy the ocean breeze. Vendors sell chaat, fried hot peppers and – my favorite – roasted corn on the cob sprinkled with lime and chili powder.

A small hand-cranked bellows fuels the charcoal stove where they hold the corn by its pulled down husk and, once darkness falls, you can see the sparks stretch downwind like a migrating flock of angels. It is here that the tsunami wave swept over the sands in December 2004.
