Ex-Google MD Parminder Singh Ate Duck Tongues Assuming They Were Kurkures
In his post on X, Ex-Google MD Parminder Singh narrates an incident where he dined at the cafeteria at Google’s Beijing office. There, he spotted a large plate of what looked like fried ‘Kurkures’. Of course, we know how crispy, masala-filled Kurkure chips really are! So, it wasn’t a surprise that the Ex-Google MD just divided into the bowl of “Kurkures”.
As he helped himself to a generous portion, a colleague looked at him munching. And then exclaimed that she didn’t know he was a fan of this snack. To this, Parminder Singh shared that he grew up eating a similar snack in “Really?” she asked, surprised. She further asks him if duck tongues are common in India. That’s when it hit the Ex-Google MD that he had been relishing crispy duck tongues for all his time.
After this incident, whenever he sees a plate of Kurkures, he double-checks to make sure it’s not “Chinese tongue-di kabab”. He goes on to mention in the comments section that while he is happily adventurous with his food and has eaten everything from snakes to insects to duck tongues when he expects Kurkure, he wants Kurkure.
