14 Deliciously Messy Food You Wouldn’t Mind Digging In

I love food that involves me in more ways than one.

The kind of food that you really dig into. It is juicy, messy and leaves you looking silly, but content.

And you do not mind at all, because it was so good.

1. Cutting, extracting the sweet flesh amidst the sticky exterior from a jackfruit.

And then saving the seeds for a delish curry later.

 

2. A cup of chai and khari toast

Khari is good when dipped in chai, but equally awesome dry. The crumbs get everywhere, though.

 

3. Bunny chow – break the bread to get an overflow of gravy on your plate

No regrets whatsoever.

 

4. The powdered sugar on Beignets get all over your hands and shirt and face

Lots of cleaning after.

 

5. A big fat burger

To finish it keeping your table relatively clean is an accomplishment.

 

6. A very thick roll/shawarma

The hummus is bound to leak out of the other end.

 

7. Eating a juicy mango

Even if you cut it perfectly, you are bound to get some juice on you.

 

8. Succulent barbecue ribs

The joy is in the mess it causes.

 

9. The desynchronization and chaos of a meatball sub

Meatballs and sauce and bread and you do not know where to bite the sub.

 

10. The struggle of eating a chilli crab

They give you special tools and big napkins to deal with this dish.

 

11. The orange cheesy dust of cheese balls

And licking the cheese powder after.

 

12. Digging your face into a big ass cotton candy

And ending up with a sticky face.

 

13. A plate of buttered Puran poli

The sweet jaggery is everywhere.

 

14. A plate of delicious Ilish Maach (Bengali fish curry)

And removing the bones and thorns while eating it with joy.

 

15. A sumptuous full plate of kachori chaat

And drown yourself in the rainbow of flavours. You will have to lick your fingers clean after.

Some pleasures in life are supposed to be messy.
