Flavors of the Wild

Food tells the story of a place — and sometimes, the simplest meals carry the deepest memories.

In the heart of Arunachal, inside a Mishmi tribal home, dinner is never just food.

A pot simmers quietly over firewood. The air fills with smoke, warmth, and the anticipation of stories that always taste better when shared. The plate before you is humble yet full — black rice rolled by hand, smoked chicken rich with the scent of the wild, leafy greens stir-fried fresh from the forest, and a tang of fermented mustard leaf chutney balanced with crisp salad.

Each bite carries a tradition — one that isn’t written down, but passed through hands, through fire, through generations. It’s not a meal made for display. It’s a meal made to be felt.

Here, taste is memory. And memory is what lingers long after the plate is empty.

Would you sit by the fire and taste tradition on a plate?

🔥 This moment unfolds on our Into the Wild Arunachal journey — where stories are not only told, but served.
