Hey there! This month, I thought I'd work with another food topic close to the Indian psyche. Beef me up, Scotty!

While Indians and lynchings shouldn't come as a surprise, rural Kenyans aren't far behind either. Infights over their most precious resource - livestock - are all too common (I was itching to write 'moo common' ). Since livestock is a symbol of wealth; stealing cattle is a way to elevate one's status in some ways.

PETA published a video that made several people swear off bacon too! I've seen meat I eat being cut alive, as a kid, because Brahmin parents will do ANYTHING to see their kid vegetarian. But it made me vegetarian for all of two weeks. Maybe less. And I'd still eat the curry (not the meat)!
A former season of Master Chef India was all vegetarian because it was sponsored by Adani and also on account of some other highly believable reasons was all vegetarian, but season 6 has auditions soon and is non-vegetarian, I hear. I'm not averse to vegetarian cooking. In fact, I am quite a vegetarian through weekdays. But the reasons they cited hardly appealed to me.

But but, here's an interesting article I read by Vikram Doctor on how religious curbs can lead to great food.
Jamie Oliver is releasing an all-veg book this September.
José Andrés, who fed countless meal to hurricane-stricken Peurto Ricans, when the American president didn't particularly care all that much, wrote a book on vegetables earlier this year.
Call me pig-headed (pun intended), but some leaders seem to have some traits in common. Anyhoo, and I swear to God I wanted to type any-moo and laugh my backside off, here are some of the books I've been reading these past few weeks.
Coincidentally, these books seem fitting given the general theme of secularity (and such) that this edition touches.

Until next month, nom nom!
