[@johnjocad2617]

[@pkpb8133]

[@RajdeepBorgohainRajdeep]

Why this content got released after Food Lovers TV’s episode on Plum cake?
Does “The Hindu” required to copy others’s content 😅

[@magnet0363]

0:12 Not just the british but the mughals too

[@sm9214]

For Nehru in Discovery of India: Advent.
For the British historians? Conquest!!!
If it were Advent what for Nehru fought against and been in jail?

[@kaushikganesh6216]

'Albert' got caught its actually a mozi bakery wth no alcohol 😂

[@getbuggs]

I dont know why my comment was removed when I mentioned Craigbury, Indiranagar. If anyone needs to tastes a real Plum cake that can easily be Craigbury. The finest plum cakes in the business. Take one to any old Bangalorean, and even without the Craigsbury label, they’ll say it tastes just like the classics from Thom’s, Koshy’s, or Fatima’s

[@bobbyeapen6049]

Keep that tradition going. I hear its also popular in Christian communities, like in Kerala and Goa.

[@g.shankaranarayananil3705]

Go and eat in VB Bakery......best.

[@JSSthevathumannil]

In Kerala Hear Big Plum Cake War is Going

[@harshkumar-kk2do]

?

[@santoshm245]

None of these Bakeries have Alcohol licence, so how are they using it in their food. Is it approved by FSSAi? Also kids and many people who don't consume Alcohol may eat these cakes. Do they mention the use of Alcohol in the packaging??

[@getbuggs]

Usually corporate companies don't take Alcohol plums. So its mentioned

[@thrombeymartin3816]

Alcohol evaporates after baking , the boiling point of alcohol is less than water. Only flavour remains

[@santoshm245]

@thrombeymartin3816 It doesn't matter. Use of Any alcohol in food , manufacturer must possess Alcohol Licence. I ran a restaurant and to use white Wine in Rissotto, had to inform excise and take necessary permission and undertaking that not more 2 bottles of wine will be at the premise.

[@Usha.philips]

Ingredients are mentioned on the packaging

[@alileevil]

They probably have permission from the authorities. Some of these bakeries are over a 100 years old!

[@paroxymal7688]

No. And never will

[@alileevil]

I always buy some in Christmas and gift it to people. It has become a tradition such as handing out sweets in Diwali.

[@paroxymal7688]

Diwali is a local origin culture ​, christmas is a colonial forced upon us culture@@alileevil

[@alileevil]

@@paroxymal7688 Christianity reached Indian shores in the 1st century, before it spread to Europe. Given that India is 80 % Hindu and the majority of Christians are from the South who can trace their religion to the arrival of Saint Thomas, its safe to say that Christianity is not a colonial religion, nor was it forced upon Indians. But keep hating LOL.

[@emmanueljoymartin3091]

​@@paroxymal7688 then you don't use English language too it was forced upon you by the British 😂😂

[@Jordan67892]

English language too,our dressing,most eating habits......now live the rest of the life like this.....
