In reply to the original question, I have fallen out of love with Indian sweets, although I loved them as a child. Jalebi, boli, halva are all too sweet for me now. They're not inedible, I just don't enjoy them-surely the whole point of sweets.

I also can't stand jeerakavellam or cumin tea, which is often the only water served in rural areas of Kerala. Once on pilgrimage as a boy, I was exhausted and dehydrated after a long climb, and the only thing available to drink was jeerakavellam. I drank it thirstily then promptly vomited it all back up. Never again.
