Wrote about eating my way around coastal #Chennai and what that can tell you about caste in the city. Thanks a ton to @whetstone_mag @laylaschlack for publishing this! https://www.whetstonemagazine.com/journal/exploring-chennai-city-of-fish Coz the article uses stock photos, here are some of my pics
Meanwhile, places like Palagaithotti kuppam in #vadachennai battle coastal erosion + road/industrial development
There's also a whole other story about how urban development is squeezing out spaces for valuable foodways like mostly women-run fish markets and older fisherwomen drying fish on beaches
At this rate, Pazhaverkadu might be the last standing home of fishers [unless Adani gets there first of course

ps: many thanks to @demarionunn for suggesting I send this article to @whetstone_mag in the first place and to @vittleslondon for encouraging first time 'food writers' like myself to send out their stories!
