Answer 6

LOL!!

In India and Pakistan and Bangladesh, there's this delicacy (literally, it's delicious. But the way some people eat it, that's minging) Anways, so it's basically betel leaf with stuff in it! It has certain things in which have digestive properties so some people eat it after food. It's not very common in England. People eat it in Pakistan/India/Bangladesh though.

Very tasty. Try it

According to Muchhad the most important thing in making a paan is the way it's prepared, it differs from hand to hand. It's the way it's made makes it special. For example if the Chuna and Kathha is not in the right proportion it can be harmful. If one happens to put more Chuna then it cuts the tounge. But again all the ingredients that are put and the quantity of each depends on the likes and dislikes of a person.

All the varieties of paan preparations can be made in any of the three types of paans - Kalkatta, Banarasi, Maggai.

i think it's either paan or ghutka.
