A strange problem.
It's going to be difficult to get local food at the festival.
They're getting catering services from Delhi and Mumbai. A highly recommended friend of a friend is helping with Continental food from Pushkar. He'll take the plunge. He'll move his setup here five days before tourist season peaks at Pushkar.
But not food stalls or restaurants at Jaisalmer. At least not at this time. Not during the festival - right after Diwali and right before Pushkar Mela. Tourists will be queueing up at their stalls anyway. And they don't have the manpower to expand.
Grand Meister says that they have trouble feeding their own guests during the Diwali season. Lines snake outside restaurants, often mixing with other such lines. People wait hours for the wrong meal to be brought to them.
Most places here have only one small kitchen and one cook. Some places, the cook doubles as the waiter.
"So, what, then? We have to get Rajasthani food made somewhere else and then get people dressed up as Rajasthanis to serve them? In Jaisalmer?"
This is ridiculous.
