Breath is food
The body eats food
This Body rests on the breath
Breath rests on the body
Food is resting on food
The one who knows this becomes rich in food and great in fame
(Taittiriya Upanishad 11.7)
Lungi Babas is turning 6 this year! We are celebrating with a video, a gift from our regular customer, friend and now our latest team member, Tom Veck! You will see him serving our street food at Loop de Loop in Frome during the week. (Some of you will know Tom from Rocktopus.)
Lungi Babas’ new train is also getting ready! Our new extraction system for our Train Station Approach venue here in Frome, Somerset, has been installed. We are very excited as it means we can now work on extending our opening times and introducing new products.
“Where do you go to get your chilli fix – Lungi Babas – Lungi Babas…..”
Stay safe and healthy. With love, from all the crew at Lungi Babas
