Pan

Pan is an interesting experience--it's made from betel leaves. I tried it and don't really get the appeal but it's popular here.

n North India, it is very common to see various small roadside-stalls, named Paan Bhandar or Paan Stall. These small shops sell Paan- the most eaten chewing material as mouth freshener. These shops are also centre point of meeting of many Paan lovers, who love to discuss over various local and national issues, while relishing the wonderful aromatic taste of Paan. These Paan lovers can easily be recognized by their mouth expressions and red colour lips.

Serious Paan lovers even have red teeth...
