In my country one of the most famous winter food is pitha. It is a traditional food item. The winter morning is the best time to eat it, because the warmth of the pitha is more appetizing in the cold morning. In Asia, rice cultivation occurs the most during November and December and they use that rice to make the pithas. Some well known pithas are Vapa, Patisapta, Chitoi, and Teler Pitha. It is a traditional winter breakfast in our culture, and also served in weddings too. When I was a child they did not sell any pitha in the stores, and now we can even find it in Indian stores here! They sell it like a hot cake. What can I say about pleasurable pitha? It is tasty and delicious!
