Geordie lass rates lassi
Comfort eating. We’ve all been there.
Whether it’s bed-rotting with a takeout, cheeky nandos or a tub of ben and jerrys whilst endlessly doomscrolling – we have all needed a pick-me-up.
My fave pick-me-up is usually pan-Asian food.
Sushi ✅
Iraqi shwarma grill ✅
Indian takeout ✅
Gentrified pan-Asian ❌
Gen Z and gentrified lassis? Fun idea — until your grandma sees you sipping a glittery matcha bubblegum lassi and disowns you. Somewhere between the avocado swirl and cookie crumble topping, we forgot that lassi’s supposed to cool your soul, not give you a sugar crash. It’s like taking a soulful desi classic and turning it into a chaotic milkshake with an identity crisis. Sure, it looks great on the ’Gram, but taste-wise? Sometimes it’s giving more “why tho” than wow.

Lassi is the OG Indian summer cooler — a creamy, yogurt-based drink that’s been beating the heat for centuries. Traditionally blended with water, a pinch of salt or sugar, and sometimes spiced with cumin or flavored with rose, it’s the perfect mix of refreshing and gut-friendly. Whether you’re sipping a salty one after a heavy meal or a sweet mango version in the afternoon heat, lassi is all about comfort, culture, and that slow sip life.
Stick around, folks — we’re just getting started. If lassi was just the first spoonful, there’s a whole thali of Indian flavors waiting to be devoured. From roadside chaats that slap harder than your WiFi during exams to royal curries that deserve their own Netflix doc, I’ll be tasting, testing, and probably making a mess along the way. So watch this space as I nosedive into the spicy, sweet, and straight-up chaotic brilliance that is Indian cuisine. You’ve been warned — your cravings will be triggered.
