Food: As many know, the cow is seen as sacred in India. Because of long-held beliefs, and because of increasing animal sacrifices, many in ancient India became vegetarian. India, for centuries, has also been one of the main global exporters of spices, the most popular being: saffron, cardamom, curry, GINGER (!), cinnamon, pepper, cumin, and coriander.
In India, we usually think of the women's clothing to be the most intricate, but actually, through out history the men's costumes were more elaborate, and changed over time; the women's sari has not evolved considerably. In general, though, these costly outfits were for "higher" castes, and not a kitchen's assistant.
My character is a quiet boy that often doesn't tend to his duties as diligently as he should; he's distracted, and often dreaming. He wishes he wasn't the assistant cook. Here, he is distractedly grinding spices (most likely curry).
