what a treat that was! I was a shon-papri addict. :)
I like the Ifter food a lot but its been awhile since
i've had them here. However, i remember the taste of
Chona boot and Pyaju as if i had them yesterday.
Sometimes u guys bring back such wonderful memories of
Bangladesh thru ur marvelous writing. So, thank
goodness for this group and thank u all Miro for
reminding me abt Shon-papri. Take care and Eid
Mubarak to all of you. Shoma
