Rusk biscuits, also often called “toast” or “pappe”, is a popular snack in India. Often paired with tea, this biscuit has a distinctive texture and flavour. Have you ever wondered how rusk is made? Recently, a video showing glimpses of the process behind the scenes has taken the internet by storm. Unfortunately, this particular factory does not seem to have adhered to hygienic practices. As a result, people online have been left highly concerned about what goes into their favourite rusk.
The video was originally shot by content creator Amar Sirohi (foodie_incarnate) and reshared on X recently by user @Ananth_IRAS. In the clip, we see different shots of a group of people making rusk biscuits. We observe them kneading dough with their bare hands. One shot shows a factory worker smoking what looks to be a cigarette with one hand, while he mixes ingredients with his other hand. Once the dough is ready, we see the workers shaping it into long loaves. These are then baked for some time. Later, they are cut into slices and baked again. The caption of the X post reads, “If this is true, I dread having a toast again!” Take a look at the video below.
The video has gone viral on multiple platforms. Social media users have been left angered by the lack of hygiene. Some people have felt like giving up outside food after watching the clip. Others have commented that the heat would make up for all other concerns. Check out some of the reactions below.
Before this, a video showing the making of the famous sweet petha grabbed many eyeballs online. In this case, too, people claimed to have lost their appetite as well as fondness for the delicacy after watching.
