Guest guest Posted August 12, 2004 Report Share Posted August 12, 2004 Swastik108 "I've read and heard that some Brahmins will not consume Garlic and Onions because they are polluting. Why??? Well eat them and smell yourself obviously! Hahaha" Polluted because they come from earth? So it is okay to eat anything that grows from the earth upwards and not those that grow from earth downwards. Interesting isn't it.? Childofdevi : "Being a vegetarian is bad enough, but when you also ask for food without garlic and onion, people think you are from another planet." alexandra_108 : Yes, and how to get taste in your food without them? Maybe somebody will come up with : Mock Onion and Garlic. We have here mock chicken, mock mutton. You name it. It's a big market. The mock chicken is as it said Mock and not real. Looks like chicken and taste like chicken but not a chicken. LOLLLLL. How about that. You should try the mock prawns, taste exactly like prawns and can make good prawn curry or sweet and sour prawns.

Guest guest Posted August 12, 2004 Report Share Posted August 12, 2004 Somewhere I read a story of Garude flying with two drops of nectar in his mouth which fell on earth. These drops then created galic and onion. Alexandra Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 13, 2004 Report Share Posted August 13, 2004 Traditionally poor people eat garlic and onions to mask the taste of poor foods, for that reason the higher classes don't eat them, thinking that they pollute the body. Not that people understand this any longer, it's just historical fact. - N.
