Food Taboos:
It's All a Matter Of Taste
—In the United States many people celebrate Thanksgiving with a traditional turkey dinner. But party hosts in other parts of the world often mark their special events by dishing out more unusual fare.
In southern India, for example, a big Sunday lunch among the Anglo-Indian community might feature the local delicacy kutti pi—a cooked animal fetus.
Take a trip to the markets and see how one woman convinces wary butchers to sell her this taboo meat, then witness her guests' reactions to a dish made from unborn goat.
Kutti pi (prounounced 'cootie-pie') is a dish from the Anglo-Indian cuisine, consisting of the flesh of an unborn fetus from an animal. It is unique to the Anglo-Indian community, where it is considered a delicacy despite being abhorred as taboo by both parent cultures.
The flesh of a fetus is not regular table-fare in any culture. The non- Anglo-Indian butchers' markets make efficient use of all other portions of the animals, but since the fetus is considered taboo by most Indians, even when goat fetus is available, those who seek it may not be able to buy it without difficulty.

It is the first time I put a LA to an article that I originally created time itself (in another version). But there was this one very controversial decision, which questioned the relevance and the suspicion was raised, there were a Medienfake. I assume not, but the request from the Indologist R. Syed has shown that it this "court" does not know and has never heard of it. The source material is extremely thin, really can verify the broadcast and link to (not), the relevance is, therefore, IMHO not really given. If you generally get out of the current version of the part of Anglo-Indian who belongs to another article, and deletes the pov-assessments, there remains only the introduction. So at best from now to the lemma Dinah 12:48, 29 Feb. 2008 (CET)
The statement says a Indologist m.E. not much. India is a multicultural, multiethnic and Multilanguage space. Friendly Indians from different areas that I know have often mutually surprised when they told of their state. The thin facts could also be caused by an orthographic problem. -Payton 12:56, 29 Feb. 2008 (CET)
- Keep. The court apparently a thing. There are several Google hits, videos and an interwiki. -Kungfuman 16:25, 29 Feb. 2008 (CET)
- Delete. Dinah's right. The source position has evolved over the article discussion, unfortunately, proved too thin to make reliable statements. One can be reasonably sure only that there is a court called fetal Kutti pi exists or has existed, which is eaten because of religious taboos and / or caste but only a small part of the Indian population, or was. It reaches not for an article. Maybe there are times clearer sources for a new article. Rainer Z ... 20:11, 29 Feb. 2008 (CET)
- After I found out with difficulty that the book article by R. Syed, the Dinah during the discussion included as a source and to which they had to rely heavily to the last, to do with the matter has nothing, is for Dinah a delete request, the only possible retreat.
- I do not hang in the article to which I have come only involuntarily. Write to him was a lot less effort than the endless debate. It is a marginal phenomenon (see the entry in this Slang Dictionary) I have tried from the outset to state in the disc - and in the present article. It is noteworthy as a marginal phenomenon. - Bertramz 21:59, 29 Feb. 2008 (CET)
- I do not think much of personalization in LA-discussions, but sometimes we want to stick to the truth, so there will be no totally false impression. You have in your first discussion Kutti pi as an invention and the article as "nonsense" and is linked to the TV report with reports of "Löffelbiegerei" compared. I am simply consistent, then I would like to work clean: the case of massive doubts about the relevance and verifiability I call for a cancellation. In addition I have personally asked Renate Syed, you have to do because you would have no trouble. Especially not with hasty rewrite of the article, after I have explained in the discussion that I have written to them and wait for her answer. It was clear that I see my way forward, depending on their answer do. Under the current state of knowledge and source location - yours is not better than mine - is not a separate article for Kutti pi justified. In an article on the Anglo-Indian population in India, this phenomenon can be briefly mentioned in one sentence. More is not justified as long as no other relevant sources are available. -Dinah 12:38, 1st March 2008 (CET)
Writes but purely in the article that it is not clear whether it actually exists or is a rumor. When many people talk about it or Leave significantly, it is worth an entry, even if it does not exist. -80.218.231.61 23:02, 29 Feb. 2008 (CET)
- Dinah: You accuse me here untrue statements? This goes too far. I respond here only because I was being attacked personally.
- Distinguish between the phenomenon Kutti pi-consumption and your version of the article. 1) I have called your embellishments in the article as "nonsense". 2) There are a Kutti pi for the film, the reality is less sensational. See the link above. This also applies to the Not avail-able article. With Löffelbiegerei I have the representation of Kutti pi compared in this NG article, because it consists of a sequence of seemingly gimmicky bizarre eating habits, two sets each. Among other things, comes from a bull penis, which is eaten in China and a rat in Togo. At this rat I notice that the article is poorly researched. In Togo, no rats (rats) Consumed, but Grasscutter, In the WP, under the name Cane rats (cane rats) Can be found. In Togo and elsewhere, I have it as Agut eaten.
- Subject of reality and working properly / Renate Syed: On 22 Feb. knew you (not me) that your source has nothing to do with the topic. You'd have to remove it from the article. Instead, you have until 28 Feb. argue with this source, with individual formulations that would be in this source should not. You are (in his own words) assumed that the book I do not know. 28 Feb. I found out and informed you that the source is wrong. This is your strategy vice versa.
- Do something on any discussion page on, but here is not. A break over the weekend takes - Bertramz 20:58, 1 March 2008 (CET)
The court is, of course, that's not a question. But to refer only to the Anglo-Indians, and know that they eat so little, seems to me not sufficient. I would prefer a more precise search - and I know that from Germany is very difficult. The English Wikipedia has a short note about this and marked as "stub", which must be edited (by the way is there said, would traditionally eat the fetus of a cat ....) .- There are but a list of articles on Wikipedia , the desirable way should be created. How is the concept would be to hire? -Ruggero1 17:50, 3rd March 2008 (CET)
