Abstract
The Kuravar community has a strong preference for
meat-based foods, and as a result, they consume meat at least once a week.
Compared to neighboring communities, the Kuravars tend to eat meat more
frequently. Meat from domesticated animals such as goat, chicken, and duck form
a significant part of their diet. Typically, they purchase and cook either fish
or goat meat once a week. They also consume pork and cat meat whenever it is
available, particularly during festivals, family gatherings, and religious
ceremonies.
