Don't hurt my religion

Reference: Bull's biltong

The moment Ravi Shastri said on TV that he was eating beef, I knew that it was bound to build up a controversy, if not by the fundamentalist parties, then by the over-enthusiastic news channels. Poor Shastri should have realized the 'cost' of enjoying that juicy piece of meat on national television. Of course, these people are just trying to hog the limelight which in itself is becoming more and more common in the country nowadays, what with new and strange records being attempted and broken. Anyways, what my point is that the people who filed the case wouldn't even know what biltong is if Shastri hadn't described it.

I'm just hoping that the Jains of the country don't go up in arms. Eating potatoes, onions, garlic etc. is forbidden in their religion. And by chance, if someone is seen eating a juicy vada pau on television, God help him. Mr. Ramadoss, are u listening? how about a blanket ban on these vegetables too for the sake of peace in the country?

PS: On a related note, here's another South Africa delicacy (Bunny Chow) which I sampled more than once with disastrous after-effects on my stomach. Only if I could get a recipe for the same. Search, Google, search...
