BENGALURU: From a hunt for vegetarian food in London to memories of his test debut at Manchester, former cricketer Anil Kumble shared his fondest memories of the United Kingdom during a recent rapid-fire session in the city with British High Commissioner to India Alex Ellis.
When Ellis asked Kumble about his favourite meals in the UK, the veteran spinner said: “I am a vegetarian, so I go around trying to get Indian vegetarian or vegetarian food. There are lots of Indian restaurants like the Bombay Brasserie. A friend of mine owns Rasa, which serves Kerala food.” This invited a witty remark from Ellis, who said: “You can take a boy out of South India, but you can’t take South India out of a boy.”
