Quote from: Nick on August 16, 2007, 12:26:15 PMI recall on the flight back from Canada the trolly dolly was handing out meals. I heard her saying to the Hindu family behind me, "It is quite nice. It's beef!" They declined the offerQuite sensible if my experience of airline 'food' is anything to go by! I'd probably have done the same.Mind you, I do recall two occasions out of the many flights I've taken, where the food was outstanding.One was transAtlantic to the States with TWA (remember them?) and I had an excellent fillet steak whilst enjoying the luxury of Club class travel.The other was with Evergreen (ever heard of them?) on a trip (also Club) to Taiwan. Real crockery, real knives/forks and personally served food. All piping hot and remarkably good. Mind you that was ten years ago.P.S. It's 'trolley' Nick.

In Hinduism, the cow is considered sacred and its protection is a recurrent theme in which she is symbolic of abundance, of the sanctity of all life and of the earth that gives much while asking nothing in return. Most Hindus respect the cow as a matriarchal figure for her gentle qualities and providing nurturing milk and its products for a largely vegetarian diet. Hindus do not worship the cow, yet it holds an honoured place in society, and it is part of Hindu tradition to avoid the consumption of beef.

West Indians are very fond of goat - it features extensively in their cuisine (or so I'm reliably informed).It's also been known to appear in curry from time to time - bear in mind that beef is a non starter for many in the curry countries and they are not big on sheep raising so use goat for the meat in a 'meat curry'.Like any other meat it has to be cooked correctly to bring out the best.
