it is kind of grotesque. just think. you are buying it employing a 20th century technology to slaughter it like you are still in stone age. All that blood, the staring eyes of the goat, the smell, the flying buzzing bzzzzzzzzzzz, and eating everything from intestine to ears?!!! God, how I wish sometimes I was a vegetarian. It just makes me sick to my stomach.
Next life I wanna come as a vegetarian, vow to eat only bhusuna that may have lost thier ways in leafy lettuce or sparkling cauliflower.

Dassain, to me and many Nepalis, stands for a time, among
others, for pure, pure enjoyment of food, the bhutuwas and
the sekuwas and so much more :-)
>Next life I wanna come as a vegetarian
Evolution has designed us human beings to eat everything (i.e. we are omnivores!), and that vegetarianism is a biologiocally unnatural choice for us.
So says the formidable food critic Jefrey Steingarten in his wonderfully readable, smart and witty book "The Man Who Ate Everything".
Vegetarians treat their body as a temple.
But as chef Bourdain says in his book "Kitchen Confidental", your body is
not a temple . . . it's an amusement park ... so, enjoy the ride!!

that guy who wrote 'kitchen confidential' says a whole lotta other things too. for instance he compares vegan as hezbullah! besides he used to be a crack addict. do you wanna b e lieve everything what he says what makes you believe he did not write this while he was high????????!!!!
Besides i think amusement park is for children, not for adults or for adults whose brains are in a retardation phase. boddy must and needs to be treated as a temple. i don't live for here and right now. hedonistic? pleasures seeking? nah, that's not me.
this is just food for a thought :)

I think NK is right, here.
Yes, Stomach is amusement park only to kids and for adults
who especially above 35 years old should better turn to
practically Vegetarian all most 99% of the volume of his
food. Vegetarian food will not create problem to
your amusement park:
1. High Cholestrol. While red meat, Khasi ko masu is full of cholestrol.
2. FAT.
3. Blood Pressure.
4. Agressiveness: Red meat consumers are more agressive than
vegetarian. Read somewhere.
5. less chances to suffer heart attack or stroke.
Similarly, if amusement park like Disney Land are good either
for kids or for peoples who do not have aforementioned
problems. Peoples with those problem are not advised to
to take ride in extreme enjoyable utilities like Roller coaster
in amusement parks whether it may be in Disney Land
or in white cyclone.

Hi NK,
Glad to see that you have read that book too.
I really had a blast reading it.
That the guy was a crack addict is of little interest to me. That he is NO
LONGER a crack-addict and is a successful chef in New York -related is of
MORE interest to me. I am always interested to see and learn from how
people handle the bad patches of their life and positively turn their lives
around. At any rate, the guy has convinced me :-), at the very least,
NOT to go tongue-kissing with vegetarians :-)
Then again, I guess, as Jeff Steingarten says, "In America, people become vegetarians because they hate meat, and, in Europe, people become
vegetarians because they love vegetables."

I think I liked Jeff's book better than Bourdain's. I think Bourdain's was more geared towards giving people inside scoop: focusing more on sensationalism. Kitchen Confidential was like new york. Fast, giddy, dirty, and yes fun too. the reason I want to be vegetarian is from a moral point of view. After reading Elephants cry (?) ( i am really bad with names , but i know the title is close to that) i sometimes wonder how on earth can i keep on eating flesh?

"The guy has convinced me (=Ashu)": :-) theoretically or
practically ? If it is theoretically, then, its like swimming
and bicycling lessons. Real learning on swimming is quite
different from theoretical lessons, though, a part sometime
works to those who can at least float without life vest.
Happy Bijaya Dashami.
