In August I went in Calcutta for the centenary of Mother Teresa, an event that has had much piu'eco in the world in India. Close to the Mother House, where the front door and c'e'ancora 'mother was a statement''in'', and' appeared a store of holy cards, I think the 'only one where you can buy souvenirs of the blessed nun Albanian .
But not to attract my attention were not the statues of the Mother, but the next window, particularly a leaflet advertising a chocolate croissant and the trunks of the cherry. I rush in as if I was seized with a sudden inspiration of God and ask to see the croissants. I do not remember, but the package I felt like that in Italy, behind only that it was written that was manufactured by Dream Bake Private Limited, in Howrah, in Kolkata,''under license, technical know-how and exclusive recipe from Trunks, Spa, Verona, Italy .
buy one chocolate (30 rupees) and go out furtively, as if I had bought some radioactive cobalt. On the sidewalk in the swallowed two bites. E 'fresh and good. Return and filled my bag, then do not display well photographer happy.
The incident is connected to several years ago when in front of the Meridian hotel in Delhi by chance I met Mr. Alberto Trunks, the patron of panettone, who had come to explore the market and so it was straight out of one of conferenze dedicate a illustrare le opportunita’ dell’ India. Mi chiese se abitavo a Delhi e poi , con l ‘aria di chi non aveva ancora afferrato qualcosa, mi domando’ serio: ‘’ma diciamo, se io volessi portare le mie merendine, dove e’che si vendono?’’. Allora non erano ancora arrivati gli shopping mall e quindi gli risposi che non c‘erano supermercati, che sapessi solo uno, lo storico Modern Bazar a Vasant Lokh.
Non so poi che fine abbia fatto e se mai abbia concluso qualcosa. Magari le merendine di Calcutta sono contraffatte, oppure qualche missionaria di Madre Teresa ha fatto qualche business con la famosa industria dolciaria di Verona. Le cerco ancora, ma non le ho mai piu’trovate.
