Food Item

Had my first full Indian meal last nite. Lot's of experimenting, hot as hell. Had fill of lamb, fish. Leaving soon for the areas less Muslim populated and expecting to be deprived of God's creatures. Interesting note--Hindus may not eat meat, fish, fowl etc, with certain exceptions. Kshtriyas, the military caste, may eat an animal that they killed but only for sustenance; never for pleasure.
