Not surprised. Vegetarianism has been the default in India for ages.
They’ve greatly explored the spice palette and can make pretty much anything taste amazing.
EDIT: some clarification. I did not mean to imply that majority of Indians are vegetarian. No. Majority do eat meat.
But in most parts of India they do not eat meat on a daily basis. It’s typically a once a week kind of thing. And yes, I’ve observed this among friends and colleagues from practically all parts of India. Even the most fierce non-veg fiends will typically do a weekend bash, but eat regular roti sabzi, dal chawal rest of the week.
they also have world’s biggest food security program. nutrition is improving and they also lifted huge percentage of their population from below poverty.
Yeah, no. 70% of Indians are non-vegetarian. Rice &/ rotis are the important part of the meal and stuff like dal & vegetable are standard being both cheaper & easier to cook. Meat, fish, eggs, etc. being more expensive are curried or fried as side-dishes to make a little go a long way.
A dish like pot roast or meat loaf would just be too expensive as main course for most. And we do love to get creative with our spices.
I merely said that vegetarianism was the default. I’m not saying that majority are vegetarians.
What i meant was that most families do not eat meat on a daily basis. And not because they can’t afford it. Most average families eat chicken once a week, while the rest of the week is all vegetarian food.
All what i said still stands. Even though 70% of people do eat meat, they don’t do so on a daily basis.
Source: am Indian, with dozens of friends and colleagues who do eat meat. They do not eat meat daily.
ehh, it depends a lot on the individual; there’s a lot more scope for interpretation in Islam depending on both religious and cultural variations.
Islamic slaughter follows the same basic method - must die from blood loss, etc - but the prayers said over the animal while this happens are different, and some people consider this significant. Also some people consider certain kinds of shellfish haram, while others consider anything that lives in the water to be completely exempt, etc.
Halal has vastly simpler and more livable-with rules than kosher, and while (apart from alcohol) kosher food is a subset of things that can be halal, it’s not always the case that they’re a subset of things that are halal.
Their dietary and exercise regimen is hardcore. These guys are built as all hell underneath the fat. I’ve been following Sumo for ten or so years and I am constantly astonished by the raw fucking power the rikishi bring to the dohyo, especially at the sekitori level. These guys are absolute beasts.
Probably not that high. From experience, it’s just that you’ve been eating vegetarian food all your life, it’s really weird to eat non vegetarian. In fact, there are many of my friends who’ve turned non vegetarian due to peer pressure from their friends.
And the moon was 17 times closer to the Earth than it is now! You’d have needed air tanks and maybe a full environmental suit to appreciate it for more than a few seconds though.
