666... The Number of The Beast

Today seems like an appropriate day to let you all officially know that we're ignoring the risks and... we're eating meat in India.

Crazy, I know... but us foodies will NOT restrict ourselves to vegetarian if it means that we're going to miss out on some fabulous dish!! Hell no!

We at flashpackers assumed we would never be eating meat in India, to try and delay the inevitable squirts, but we found ourselves going straight for the "non-veg" section of the menu everytime. Now, it's come to the point where I will refuse to go into 'pure veg' restaurants... at least give me the choice!

As Hasan so sagely put, "Life's too short for sh*t food". Here, here!

Granted, if you're vegetarian, India's the place to visit (as opposed to China, where they consider chicken a type of vegetable)... it has a very varied and delicious selection of 'veg only' dishes.

However, I have 2 words for those considering avoiding meat: Achari Kebab (tandoor chicken that has been marinated in mango chutney). A dish surely sent from the heaven... it starts off sweet, and then the spicey chutney backnotes kick in.

I can go on: anything from the tandoor; Pork Vindaloo; Chicken Xacutti; Prawn Masala; Chicken Jazeez; Mutton Rogan Josh... the list goes on and on.

Yum!
