"Daal Bhat" by Cha$e
Wake up in the morning feelin' like Daal Bhat
Grab my glasses I'm out the door, don't forget your Daal Bhat
Before I leave, brush my teeth with a tray of Daal Bhat
'cause when I leave for the night I eat a lot of Daal Bhat
...and so on.
Daal bhat is the traditional food of Nepal. It consists of lentils or other bean types along with many spices in a thin broth, poured over rice, usually with some kind of side, such as spicy vegetables, pickle pieces, or mutton.
The typical meal schedule here is to wake up early (7 ish) and have some tea and cookies. Then around 9:30 you eat a big plate of daal bhat. Then, in the middle of the day, you have sort of a small, snacky style lunch, and in the evening around 8, daal bhat again.
You eat daal bhat a lot here, so I consider myself fortunate that I really enjoy it. It contains more rice than I'm used to, but all of the flavors and textures of the different types of daal bhat I've had have been delicious, so cheers to that.
Soon I will post a picture of the view I look at when I eat breakfast on the balcony.
Then you will be jealous.

p.s. for those not hip to "lame" cultural detritus in the U.S., my above album cover and song are parodies of Ke$ha's "Tik Tok"
When You wake up in the morning feelin like Ram Dass
ReplyDeleteThat's sweet, I would love to eat lentils all the time. Clean Colon!
I was on a long hike this weekend and definitely started singing Daal Bhat by Cha$e to myself.
ReplyDeleteThat song so wants to be Ddaaaall Bbhhaatt by Juschase, tho.
Don't try to pretend like you don't love the original "Tik Tok" just as much as this new Cha$e version...!!! :-)
