Social media users are no strangers to fusion foods. The unlikely combinations of different flavours often grab eyeballs online, sparking lively debates, memes and more. Whether it's a vlogger sharing a bizarre recipe or a restaurant offering a special fusion, social media users often have a lot to say about it. Recently, a snack sold at some Starbucks India stores has caught the attention of X users. It is a baked item called "Podi Cream Cheese Bagel". An X user shared a photo of the bagel, with the caption, "I have seen things you people wouldn't believe."
The price card in the display case indicates that it costs Rs 330. Beyond "podi" and "cream cheese", no other key ingredients are specified. As you may know, podi is a South Indian spice mix commonly paired with idlis, dosas and other traditional delicacies. Needless to say, adding it to a cheese bagel is not a conventional choice.
