Do brahmin people from India eat meat?

Question

Our company organized a lunch at a restaurant few days ago. One of our Indian coworkers joined us at our table. He had a ham sandwich with omelette for lunch - I was surprised by that because I thought Indian people are against eating meat. He also mentioned that he was from the southern part of India and that he was a brahmin.

So is it true that Indians are actually open to eating meat and animal products, especially brahmins from the south of India?

Nowhere did I see vegetarian mentioned

This is one point that I can say "this is why I hate all religion"

most are bigoted and discriminating and absolutely evil in their laws of what I should do..or even their families .

God don't tell anyone anything.. To Use their own book God gave us free will..

MAN wrote all the Bible laws and stories of history.. Man!!..

And in every case drugs were involved ,,,

Answer 2

My friend is a brahmin and she eats everything except beef and pork but when she visits India, she is a total vegetarian.  Looks like your friend is also Americanized.

Answer 3
