Many of you might be wondering....where in the world do you find beef in India? Well we have been here one week and we decided to venture out to find it today. Kris has Mondays off, so we had a little extra time on our hands. Our friend Jude mentioned a place named Sonny's that sells "minced" beef (or ground beef as we call it in America). We searched for the place on google maps and found it! The only bad thing was that we had to cross a very busy road to get to this place. But we were up for the challenge and decided to try it. We set out at about 9:15 in the morning and began the trek. The funny thing about Bangalore is that hardly any of the streets have signs. On the map it gives you a street name, but once you get to the street in person, there is no sign to label it as such. This can make things somewhat difficult for the new-kids on the block. We knew the general direction we needed to head in so we decided to go for it anyway. Luckily we crossed the busy road without too much difficulty, but with a lot of apprehension. (OK it was quite terrifying!!) Then we found what looked like a main road that led to another main road. Then before we knew it...we found it!! Success!!! We picked up our minced beef and headed home. We were home by 10:15am, only one hour later. We were pretty proud of ourselves!! We'll have to let you know how our minced beef actually tastes. I'm sure it will be nothing compared to the home-grown beef in the midwest, but it's better than nothing!!
(We took a video of crossing the busy road, but unable to get it on the blog. If I figure out how, I will post it later!)
