Tandoored Prawns:
Grilled Shrimps in Indian Way. Spicy Indian Grilled Shrimps. Tandoori Prawn. Tandoored Shrimps.
Vegetarian’ Choice – Tandoored Cauliflowers:)
I had a minor panic attack…when my father asked me, ‘if I could consider embracing vegetarianism in future’! Oh my, that’s huge!! Let me put it this way, I love animals, honestly I do…but if I love something so much, I can never be apart from it, right. Well, I didn’t choose to eat them, in fact they chose me to pick them for dinner…the adaptation they all went through during this big evolution thing’ to be more tame’ meatier, juicier’ etc…in order to allure predators like me to prey on them. So in one way, we made sure their genetic pool is rich…by selective breeding, cloning, hybridization, what not!!! On a rough scale it keeps the cycle going.
Our domesticated animals…in fact domesticated us, to feed on them…as they can easily get away with natural enemies of their own…its really harsh in the wild, out there! It could be rare for them to survive and pass on their legacy!!!
Anyhooo, I hear a lot of cruelty towards farm raised animals these days, which seriously brings some concern. Hmmm, will try to reduce my intake and frequency for time being…quitting is really hard!!! As Upanishad said, in this cosmos’ “We Eat Some, Some Eat Us”:)
