Short trip to New Delhi

 I wish a Merry Christmas!!

For the past few days, I have been staying near New Delhi due to small reasons.

As a sightseeing, I went to Agra and visit Taj Mahal.

The magnificent white palace had something that moved people beyond religious boundaries.

...Now, I would like to move on to topic about food.

Agra is famous for its sweets called petha.

(I forgot to take a picture, so I'll attach one I found on Google.)

This is made by soaking the flesh of winter melon etc. in syrup.

It has a very high sugar content, has a crunchy texture, and is very sweet.

Even after searching, I finally couldn't find out why this sweet was so famous in Agra.

As you already know, microorganisms cannot survive in an environment with very high sugar content. Therefore, I think this may be one kind of preserved food.
