Avian Bird Flu hit our area about 3 weeks ago and because it has not been contained, an announcement was made today that the "movement, sale and purchase of chickens, ducks, quails and their eggs have been banned for an indefinite period in K and all districts across Bengal." It was also announced that cows and goats have been dying of anthrax and TB.
GOLLY! We may become vegetarian, yet! I am really sad about the chicken and eggs. What are we going to eat with our ramen and soup?! And since beef is rarely available, we mostly eat chicken when we want meat. Plus, we have fallen in love with KFC here. (Popeye's is unavailable.) Not only do we both like fried chicken, the customer service at KFC is top-notch and we like that KFC employs mostly deaf-mutes at one of their restaurants here. Going to KFC is such a pleasant experience all the way around - even the bathrooms are very clean. One online restaurant reviewer said something along the lines of, "The KFC bathrooms are the only hygiene havens in the city."
P.S. The title of this blog is a nod to my friends who are fans of the musical Oklahoma!
Oh, another thing - the entire state was under a strike today - that's number 4 since we moved here.
