A Six Pack Biryaani

Goat meat is an important constituent of non vegetarian diet. It is the basis of such famous culinary items like Biryani, Korma, variety of Kebabs, etc. Further, it is the only red meat that is culturally acceptable to large segment of our population.

The goat meat, available in our country used to be very tender and could be easily cooked without use of pressure cooker.

The goat meat currently available at the butcher in the city is no longer as tender as it used to be. It requires pressure cooking for long duration (fifteen to twenty steams) for it to be edible.

I suspect what we are getting is meat from herds that have been treated with anabolic steroids (the hormone used by athletes and body builders to develop large muscles). These agents are routinely used in many countries and there is very real resistance to it among the people, there. This is similar to use of oxytocin injections for increasing milk production and enhancing the size of vegetables.

I am not sure if this is legal or not. I am however sure that this may not be very healthy for the consumer.

Nowadays, whenever I eat mutton I am reminded of those muscular hulks like Shoeb Akhtar. Obviously it has put me off goat meat…….., and I am not very fond of white meat like chicken and fish, so I am a forced vegetarian for the time being.
