Food

I watched this video before we left for Sri Lanka. Mark Wiens made the food look so delicious and mouthwatering, saying 'mmmmmm' and 'oh yeah, oh yeah'. I couldn't wait to try all these delicacies - though NOT the intenstines of a cow or the brains of a chicken!!! But I was excited about godamba roti, hoppers, soft shell crab, kottu and spicy curries.

Godamba Roti

Godamba roti is made of white flour soaked in oil for 6 hours to make them stretchy and to be able to be like an elastic band so they can be rolled out paper thin.

Hoppers, Egg hoppers and Honey hoppers

Hoppers are crispy thin bowl shaped pancake with a fluffy bit in the middle. Egg hoppers are the same thing but they've got a fried egg in the middle instead of a fluffy bit. Honey hoppers don't have a fluffy bit either, they are like a thin, crispy honey sandwich.
