What really tunes the strings of their heart when hunger pangs rise to a treble? Amid setting goofy Malayalam lyrics to thumping music and doing shows across the country and abroad, what delicacies tingle their taste-buds? We threw the question at them, while on a breezy chat about food, the orders and disorders of it. '_Thattukada_', quipped Siddharth Menon, the young gun of Thaikkudam team, who has sent hundreds swooning over his dulcet renderings. He also confessed to being a fan of all things chicken, and said that the best chicken lollipop he has had is in 'Uncle's Kitchen' in Mumbai. Peethambaran, the grandmaster of Thaikkudam team though resorts to a vegetarian diet mostly. “A meal featuring the good old [sambar](http://food.manoramaonline.com/food/mrs-k-m-mathews/sambar.html/ "Sambar Recipe") and [aviyal](http://food.manoramaonline.com/food/celebrities-recipe-folder/jayarams-recipes/aviyal.html/ "Aviyal Recipe") with _pappadom_ is what I relish”, he said, although stating that he does indulge in meat dishes once in a while. Mithun Raju, lead guitarist, owned up that home food is the best food! “While on a tour, food wise, the only hope is to get back soon as possible to relish some home food”, he said, adding that his favourite dish would be a delectable home-cooked neymeen [fry](http://food.manoramaonline.com/food/mrs-k-m-mathews/fish-pollichathu.html/ "Fish Fry Video Recipe"). Anish T.N., who's on the drums, also said that a home-cooked fish curry would make his day! The team members had some fun at the expense of Govind Menon who was missed during the chat; vocalist, violinist and the music producer, he can be called the backbone of the Bridge. Peethambaran vouched for Govind's love for _kanji_ and _[chammanthi](http://food.manoramaonline.com/food/in-season/nelllikka-chammanthi-gooseberry-chutney.html/ "Nellikka Chammanthi Recipe")_, _muthira_ (horse gram), _mathi fry_ (sardine fry) and then KFC chicken, in that order! Going by the fish cravings within the group, it's no wonder they came up with a chosen Fish Rock that says precious much about the fish in coastal Kerala.
