Food in Fiction - The Siege of Krishnapur by JG Farrell

Described in The Siege of Krishnapur, there is a meal more delicious than I would have expected in British India. Here it is:

"The fried fish in batter that glowed like barley sugar, the curried fowl seasoned with lime juice, coriander, cumin and garlic, the tender roast kid and mint sauce."

Perhaps it's less a meal than a mere list of dishes. But delicious all the same.
