house of the holy cow poop
An article from a blog about two New Yorkers who have moved to Deli:
While in Karanpur, we stumbled upon a group of villagers in the process of building a cowpie house. The women laughed at themselves as we came upon them — they were clearly a little embarrassed to be seen by foreigners as they kneaded the poop like bread dough. But it wasn’t a humiliated kind of embarrassment — rather, it was an acknowledgment that we caught them in an awkward moment. It’s how you’d feel if a political candidate dropped by on a door-to-door and caught you mowing the lawn in your rattiest t-shirt.

Not only is it an interesting article but I got to use three of my favorite categories together: architecture, culture, and poop.
That is so like a New Yorker—moving into a deli and then blogging about it. Kosher or non-?
