Food supply-Cal style

Kolkata is famous for it's street food. During lunchtime the pavements are a buzz with food dealers and patrons all elbowing there way to the best street cuisine and a share of the action. See being nice just don’t cut it if you want a quick bite.

Food preparation takes place mostly on the streets, and in front of glaring eyes where food adultery (Sub-continent favourite) can be carefully monitored.Everyday thousands of food vendors buy and cart produce to the various locations in the city. Distribution marvel? Hardly, but they never seem to run out of any supplies.

The potential loss of income and the wrath of the street consumer is enough to keep the supply running smooth. After all, not all business' need complicated supply chains to deliver. Sometimes common sense and practice prevail.
