Food & Drink — Harsh Kadyan
The full rundown of what Harsh Kadyan (BrutalHarsh) eats, craves and avoids — a vegetarian, but eggetarian diet from Rohtak, Haryana, India. Pizza comfort, Punjabi and Delhi street-food cravings, high spice tolerance, and a soft spot for butterscotch shake and milkcake.

Vegetarian, but eggetarian
I’m Harsh Kadyan — BrutalHarsh — and this is the honest version of my harsh kadyan diet. The short answer to “vegetarian or non-vegetarian?” is: vegetarian, but eggetarian. I’m a harsh kadyan vegetarian who eats eggs only — no meat, no chicken, no fish. That makes me aharsh kadyan eggetarian: the harsh kadyan eggs rule is simple, eggs are fine, everything else that had a face is not. It’s a clean middle path that keeps brutalharsh food mostly plant-based without pretending eggs don’t exist.
On the cuisine side, my comfort zone is Punjabi food andstreet-style Delhi food. Ask me what I crave and the answer isharsh kadyan punjabi food and harsh kadyan delhi street food — chole bhature, butter paneer, aloo tikki, gol gappa, the whole lane. I’ll be upfront about the one thing I can’t get behind: I’m aharsh kadyan who hates South Indian food. Dosa, idli, vada, sambar — not my thing. It’s nothing personal; harsh kadyan south indian food just isn’t a flavour profile I enjoy.
Comfort food & street picks
My comfort meal, without competition, is pizza.harsh kadyan pizza is the answer to almost every “what should we eat” question. If I’m tired, stressed or just happy, pizza fixes it — that’s harsh kadyan comfort food in one word. For Haryana and North Indian street-food cravings, the harsh kadyan street food pick is a burger — the kind you grab standing at a stall, not the sit-down kind. Spice? “The hotter the better.” harsh kadyan spice tolerance is high, so I like my harsh kadyan spicy food to actually burn. On snacks I lean strictly savoury — harsh kadyan savory all the way; I don’t eat sweet much, so a harsh kadyan dessert is a rare event.
Chai vs coffee for harsh kadyan? I don’t really drink either, but if forced: coffee. The one drink I do go for, especially as a late-night coding drink, is a butterscotch shake —harsh kadyan butterscotch shake, cold and thick. My favourite dessert / mithai, when I do eat sweet, is milkcake — that’sharsh kadyan milkcake, the one harsh kadyan dessertI never refuse. Food I dislike: almost all green vegetables.harsh kadyan green vegetables and I have an understanding — we avoid each other. My fruit pick is pineapple —harsh kadyan pineapple, fresh and sharp.
Breakfast, travel food & midnight snacks
Ideal breakfast: paratha and curd, orpav bhaji — harsh kadyan paratha andharsh kadyan pav bhaji both work as a full, happy start to the day. The restaurant or dhaba I’d actually travel for? A pizza dhaba / cafe and a hot dog stand — give me a roadside pizza cafe or a highway hot dog stand over a fine-dining room any day. And themidnight snack, when the fridge calls at 2 a.m.:Maggi, or bhelpuri — harsh kadyan maggi and harsh kadyan bhelpuri are my late-night staples. Quick, savoury, and exactly what a build session at 2 a.m. calls for.
