When an immigrant mother in Jhumpa LahiriOCOsa"The Namesake"acombines Rice Krispies, Planters peanuts, onions, salt, lemon juice, and green chili peppers to create a dish similar to one found on Calcutta sidewalks, it evokes not only the characterOCOs Americanization, but also her nostalgia for India.
