It is when the ships that anchored off the shores of Thoothukudi required local labour. These men improvised on the flat almond macaroons and Ganesh Bakery is handed out macaroons in a gift-wrapping paper is also one of the attractions.

Around half a dozen men stand over a table squeezing the cones as little peaks materialized on greased trays. The trays are assembled on a rack and wheeled into the massive get inside a stone oven.
