I also like how Debina, despite her faults, made food everyone could eat, but then again she's a non-vegetarian girl so it's not difficult for her to make something vegetarian. On the other hand, a vegetarian person would feel upset touching meat and making something with it. I don't know, that's just how I feel.π³
I come from a bengali shakta background, so it becomes difficult for me to understand the separation between spirituality and non veg habit. π To each his own I guess.
I agree about limited options for vegeterian people. Thats why I don't really make a fuss about food when I am guest anywhere. I enjoy veg nonveg equally.
BTW my grandma is vegeterian for last 40 yrs. and a veggie in bong means she doesnt even touch onion or masoor daal. But when we were kids she had no qualms cooking non veg for us. I guess again its to each his own. But I generally do not like the idea how nowadays people project having non veg food== ghor paap. π
I have seen so many of my Indian friends come and comment fish is veg for you guys and I had to politely reply, if I really want to have "proper veg food", you cannot cook it because you are not allowed to put onion in it.
