Is there a connection between what our CM says and JU’s meat-related invention? May be I’m reading too much into it, but if it is true by any stretch of imagination, it is indeed most welcome. And why not? We’re meat-loving people, but alas our appetite is constrained by consideration for good health.
But first, what did CM say? Here it is on the ‘auspicious’ occasion of the “the signing of a memorandum of understanding with JRD Tata Trust and Bharatiya Agro Industries Foundation (BAIF) on augmenting the production of goat meat in the state.”
We produce the highest amount of goat meat in the country. But, since Bengal is also the highest consumer, we fall short of demand. Hence, it is important that meat production should be increased.
Not everyone prefer the idea of more meat eating, especially the doctors whose duty it is oversee our well-being. Therefore, when the Food Technology Department of Jadavpur University hit upon the invention of processed goat meat that is okay for everyone from 8 to 80, it is perhaps the most welcome news in a long time.
According to professor Utpal Roychowdhury of JU, the processed goat meat can be preserved, so even a few months’ old stuff should be no problem. That’s good, for processed food per se is more hygienic, no doubt there. What however remains to be seen is how it’ll taste when we actually have the salivating kosha mangsho to partake, which, according to news reports, seems not very far off.
Sure it’s music to the ears of foodies like me. What about you?
Even a news-mag?
