alina sampling the 'experimental' gingerpop from fojol bros of merlindia at eastern market

the fojol bros of merlindia are cool. four friends in a shiny silver wagon, dressed in character and serving good indian curries with basmati rice and tasty frozen treats. i think that they're developing a cult following - fans regularly follow them on twitter - the only way to find out where they are serving it up around the district... plus they're starting to get reviews in a few local dc magazines - a pretty impressive accomplishment, considering their business is a traveling curry wagon (all be it, one with lots of bells and whistles). they're known for their mango lassi pops, but after hanging out in front of the wagon for a while, one of the guys offered us a ginger pop. it's not on the menu yet, but maybe after our vote of approval they'll make it available to the masses...
