That is why the pork sandwich—hot bread, salty meat, fat that stays fragrant in the cold—feels like it belongs to the place as much as the tea.

Start with the obvious anchor: Keventer’s, the long-running rooftop café on Nehru Road, is repeatedly reviewed for its ham sandwiches and pork-heavy breakfast plates—bacon, sausages, and cured meats that read like a hill-station answer to English breakfast. Food-focused posts and travel write-ups about Keventer’s regularly mention bacon sandwiches and pork platters, underscoring how central pork is to the “Darjeeling breakfast” mythos sold to visitors.
