| Lakshadweep Laddoo (Pic by June Carvalho) |
Intrigued, I picked up two...the yellow strip around it read Lakshadweep Laddoo....now I've heard of and tasted a hundred different types of laddoos, but had never come across something called a Lakshadweep Laddoo. Lakshadweep, an island in the Arabian Sea, off the coast of Kerala conjures up images of swaying palms, beach resorts, scuba diving, fresh seafood and dry fish...least of all a sticky laddoo made from dry fruit and nuts! Tasty though.
Upon closer scrutiny of the label it was apparent that the laddoo was not in fact made in Lakshadweep (!), but in the little town of Kasargod in north Kerala, bordering Mangalore...wonder why it was called thus...marketing gimmick maybe?
