There is always time and place for some snacks, or short eats, as they say in Sri Lanka. Especially on long train trips you have a good chance to discover new tastes. Every station brings along new food vendors and they walk along the compartments calling out loud the names of the food items they are selling. I will miss all this spicy food!
Short eats are normally wrapped in used office papers, pages of old books and student exam papers. I have eaten my rotis on company invoices, mathematics exam papers, doctor's prescription etc. Great way to recycle.

| Thick, creamy buffalo curd and sweet honey on a Hopper is a good choice for a breakfast. So is a coconut Roti (behind). |
 |
| Kotthu Roti is sort of an fast food. Roti cooked in oily spice mix and chopped together with vegetables and spices. |
 |
| Cooked spicy chick peas are my favorite. |
 |
| Vegetable curry has lentils, chopped green leaves, coconut and chili, green beans and rice. That suspiciously beef looking food is Jack Fruit. |
 |
| Mangostin makes a good snack between the spicy and oily ones. |
 |
| Fried Dal cakes (lentils) comes with onion and chili. |
