maybe either coz i am in a lot of pain, or maybe am under too much painkiller influence, but it triggered a sudden memory. 

told son how we used to sometimes add a thin slice of butter and make a parle g sandwich out of it. it's been so so many years since i did that, or even thought of that. to the point, that i am even forgetting how it tasted. 

anyone else did it?

our other sinful snack used to be ghee shakkar roti. i think this one was much more popular. even though we used to be super active kids, if i have clogged arteries at 60, it will totally be understandable lol.

I used to put a layer of Ghee OR jam as sandwich... and imagine that to be the JB Mangaram's strawberry biscuits.  Those were not bad.

recently, in India at someone's house I ate a cookie/cream biscuit and all oldies laughed... saying I still ate cream biscuits the way I ate as a kid. American cookies and biscuits are no match for what we get in Indian bakeries. Salt and/or pepper butter biscuits are no where else to be found.
