Taboo Foods, Hindu Epics and Dharma

Postcards From Nowhere with Utsav Mamoria

Blood filled sausages, goat’s head in sour gruel, grilled stomach membrane and barbecued river rats - If this grossed you out, you must listen to this episode. This week, in the eighth episode of the series, Fabulous Foods, we delve into our privileged idea of Taboo foods, the tradition of eating meat in the Ramayan and Mahabharat, and how does the idea of Dharma reconcile eating meat. Tune in, and discover the rich culture of eating meat in ancient India, and an unlikely connection the strictly vegetarian Gujarati Jains have with it.
