Today's
culinary delight features pork, a personal favorite of mine. Despite my
affinity for all things porky, I've noticed a peculiar trend among my Indian
acquaintances - they tend to shy away from pork, with many having never even
tasted it. The prevailing perception seems to be that pork is a
"dirty" meat, although its place in Hinduism, or lack thereof,
remains largely unexplored.
In my observation, the reluctance to try pork stems from a preference for familiar foods among Indians - the cuisine they grew up with holds a special place in their hearts. Even my husband, for instance, abstains from pork without being able to articulate a specific reason why. It's a curious quirk of human behavior, isn't it?
