Talk:Konkani Cuisine/@comment-68.193.135.238-20120401043214

This article is not factual.All Konkanis are Brahmins & are supposed to be pure vegetarians, no meat,fish,not even eggs. A small portion of this community who live by the water,have been consuming fish. Hence authentic Konkani food is Vegetarian consisting of Rice,vegetables,legumes,various beans & spices.I am a Konkani who grew up in India & lived in USA for over forty years.Some of us have started eating chicken,mutten,fish (a significant proportion, still do not) etc.Hardly anybody cooks Beef ( especially beef,We respect & worship cows for providing us with daily commodities) or Pork.Meat is not part of Konkani cuisine.Descendants of Portuguese, living in Goa(who sometimes refer to themselves as Konkans) probaly consume all meats.But they are not Konkanis.A little homework is in order.
