Nalli Ellumbu Kuzhambu – Country Style

Nov - 2021 - Food Pictures6

Hey….when I was a little kid, I happen to see this movie ‘En Raasawin Manasile’. Yeah yeah…..that short funny looking guy ‘Rajkiran’s movie! He used hog these ‘nalli elumbu’ as tho’ they were sugarcane or drumsticks! Eating bones were shown in closeup shots. I gotta tell ya….it gave me creeps for several months! Well…anyway, later all the village heroes started doing it, Napolean in other movie was hogging this bones lately.My +1 classmate Harpreeth Aneja….like to eat just bones! Yeah just bone’s curry. And she used to munch the bones for several hours. Just like the way Rajkiran did in that movie!She says its fun eating bone than a meat piece! We always teased her for this. But later after studying Bio-Chem and Bio-Tech….I have to change my mind. Its nothing that bad to eat bones or bone’s soup. Its rich in calcium! Yeah anything for health….count me in!!!:)
