Delhi is known for its creative street food. From tandoori momos to butter chicken maggi, the city’s food scene is bold and experimental. However, a new fusion dish Litchi Momos has strong reactions across the internet.
Litchi Momos? Internet Users Say ‘No, Thanks’
Recently, a street vendor in Delhi introduced momos stuffed with litchi. Yes, you read that right — sweet litchi fruit inside a steamed dumpling. Videos of this bizarre creation went viral, but not for the right reasons.
Netizens were quick to respond with disbelief. Many said the combination was “a crime against food.” Others called it the “worst fusion ever.”
Social Media Reactions Go Viral
As expected, social media platforms exploded with memes, jokes, and strong opinions. On Instagram, food bloggers slammed the dish, asking followers to “stop playing with momos.” Twitter saw #LitchiMomos trending for two straight days.
What Was the Vendor Thinking?
According to the vendor, the idea was to create something “refreshing” and “new for the summer.” He claimed that some customers actually liked it. “People want something different. Why not litchi?” he said in an interview.
Despite the backlash, the vendor seems committed to serving his fruity momos.
Food Experiments Where’s the Line?
Food fusion is not a new concept. Chefs have been blending cuisines for years. But there’s a thin line between creative and cringe-worthy. While innovation is key in culinary art, taste should never be compromised.
Delhi has seen strange dishes before — like Oreo pakoras, Fanta Maggi, and chocolate golgappas. Still, Litchi Momos might have won the prize for the weirdest combo yet.
