“I am very happy to be in Kolkata, the sweetest city in India. KC Das’ Espalande branch. I tasted “Banglar Rasgolla” with great taste”, Ellis wrote in Bengali on Twitter. In the picture shared on Twitter, Alex Ellis can be seen enjoying the dessert rasagulla in a clay pot. He also had a tika on his forehead and was wearing garland during his visit to Kolkata.
The post, since being shared on Twitter, has garnered over 1900 likes and several reactions. Netizens, surprised to see the British High Commission eating rasagulla in Kolkata, some even suggested some other sweets that he should try in the city. One user commented, “Did you try ‘mishti doi’? You missed it. Do taste it the next time you are in Kolkata”. Another user wrote, “Well, you don’t eat a rasagulla with a spoon and you certainly do not cut it and eat. It’s meant to be eaten whole with the syrup straight in such that you are forced to clamp your mouth shut and only focus on chewing the rasagulla and front the syrup at the same time”. One of the user suggested, “Sir try rasagulla also, you will love it @AllexWEllis”. To which, Deputy British High Commission Kolkata replied that he tried rasagulla as well.
This is not the first time that the British High Commissioner to India, Alex Ellis has enjoyed eating Indian food. Last month, Ellis on Twitter admitted that netizens were right in suggesting that Dosa “tastes better” when it is eaten with the hands. Posting a video of himself eating the South Indian dish with hands and then expressing how delicious it tasted through expressions, Ellis posted the video on August 5 after questioning his followers on August 4 about how he should eat the dosa.
