Why do Hindus eat butter if they wont eat beef?

Yeah, but he had it coming. Repeatedly.

Anaamika, Johanna: You’re killing me over here! :smiley:

Do the Hindu eat beef blood, like some Africans do? You can bleed the beev without killing it.

Why is my mind blanking on this? I have two competing thoughts …

(1) No freaking way.
(2) Isn’t blood one of the “fluids” that comes from a cow?

Anyway, there are some blood sacrifices in Hinduism (e.g., Kali worship in Calcutta), but they definitely don’t use cow blood. Usually it’s goats.

I have met several types of Hindu “vegetarians”:

True vegetarians.
Fish only. Generally in port cities.
Chicken only.
Fish and chicken only.

But IME even Hindus* like me who joyfully eat beef (shutup) do not like beef blood. I only recently started asking for my meat “medium”; rare is an impossibility to me. (And no Hindus I know at all will eat organs!) I suppose there is a cadre of Hindus out there that will slurp down the blood quite happily but if so I haven’t met them.

*Yeah, so I’m atheist. I’m still Hindu. It’s like being Jewish!

I am the Bacon Pope, and I deny your efforts at schism. Be careful, or you shall be excobaconated.

I denounce thee, bacon Papists, and all thy creeds! Hie thee to McDonalds’, where dwells the beefy Devil!

You could have Francis Bacon as your patron.

Our Pork, which art like heaven
Hallowed be thy taste
Thy serving to come, be well done
on our plate as it is in the kitchen
Give us this day our daily ham
as we partake of that which tastes great to us
deliver us the bacon…

And so on.

…and deliver us from trichinosis.

Au contraire, mon frère!

I’ll take “hijacks nobody saw coming” for $400, Alex.

:confused:

I thought Asimovian was Bacon Pope.

Heck of a thing to say about a nice, Jewish boy.

Some people call me a usurper. Some people say Asimovian was lax in his duties and a new strong hand was welcomed. All I know is, I’m the Bacon Pope now, baby.

Perhaps somebody ate him.

And when they did, they washed him down with this.
That’s right, your Bacon Pope is takin’ care of you…

Jesus Christ.
I wouldn’t drink that if I were Goyisch. :slight_smile:

Actually the five cow products of the pañcagavya are:

  1. Milk
  2. Ghee
  3. Yogurt
  4. Urine
  5. Dung
    each of which serves some useful purpose. Although I don’t know what the usefulness of cowpiss might be. The dried cow-pies are essential to building fires in a land where wood can be scarce.

Some people call you the gangster of pork?

Cowpiss is used in Ayurvedic medicine, as is dung. Dung has also been used as fertilizer, and as a building material, to plaster walls. I’m sure there are more uses of Cow dung that I’m not aware of yet.
and some I probably wouldn’t want to know about.

I understand that cow dung is also used to make hard and resistant floors.
