Where's my mithai?



Mithai are integral to many ceremonial occasions - the first gift of an Indian bride to the family of her betrothed is often 50 pounds of top-quality mithai - but none more so than Diwali, which is observed by sending elaborate gift boxes of sweets, dried fruit and nuts to family and friends.

I actually had some of that not too recently I believe. I didn't care too much for it. I'm a discrace to my Indian heritage.
