Beef
The cow is considered sacred by most Hindus and hence beef is considered taboo in many Indian states, and therefore most restaurants do not serve it. However beef is consumed by people of other religions. Beef is commonly sold in restaurants in the South-Western states, Goa and Kerala. Apart from this, international restaurants (primarily located in urban areas) serve beef dishes according to their usual menus.

Famous quotes containing the word beef:
“That night ended the day when history was written in Abilene. August 14, 1865 was the date. That was the end of the first drive on the Chisolm Trail. It was just the first of thousands of such drives bringing beef to the world.”
—Borden Chase [Frank Fowler] (1900–1971)
