Sharing a photo on his Twitter, the diplomat wrote, “There’s always time to have a vadapav in Mumbai.” Ever since it was posted, the Tweet has garnered 21.3K likes and several comments. Take a look:

Ellis was seen exploring Maharashtra while meeting with important state leaders, including the chief minister. He tried Mumbai’s iconic street food after getting in the festive mood by visiting a Ganapati workshop ahead of Ganesh Chaturthi.

And this is not all, earlier Ellis was also seen indulging in a delicious plate of dosa and sambhar while he was visiting Banglore. As he shared the photo on Twitter, he wrote, “Delicious #MysuruMasalaDosa!! A great way to begin my first visit to #Bengaluru” After his post, many Twitter users pointed out that he should devour the dosa with his hands, instead of a knife and fork, which led to Alex putting out an opinion poll on whether he should have his next dosa with hands or fork!

A great way to begin my first visit to #Bengaluru.
