Durga Puja celebrations in West Bengal are incomplete without traditional delicacies and pandal hopping. This year, Starbucks has introduced a limited-edition festive menu under the "Amar Pujo, Amar Starbucks" campaign. The menu features several Bengali-inspired dishes, with the Aloo Posto Burger becoming the center of online chatter.
The unique combination of poppy-seed cooked potatoes in a burger patty has left people amused, horrified, and even angered. While many found the idea absurd, some were surprised and a few found the burger to be decent. The menu also includes other dishes inspired by Bengali and regional flavors such as Shorshe Chicken Burger, Kosha Mangsho Roll, Bhekti Bhaja Sandwich, Dhakai Chicken Wrap and Chingri Turnover.
Starbucks has also introduced Bengali-inspired desserts like Gurer Sandesh Flan and Kalakand Pie, along with festive beverages such as Saffron Latte and Choco Saffron Frappuccino.
