I’m only reluctantly returning to this post. I ate this meal at a Korean restaurant in midtown. It was a fine enough meal. Tasty. But it was disturbing for me.

My dear sister-friend from India now eats beef. She had been to the same restaurant once before with a colleague of ours, who harks from Ireland, and who convinced N to eat beef. So, she did and now she does eat beef.

We all studied nutrition together and learned quite a lot about cultural literacy and competency. I’m not sure why or how L could think it’s okay to make and press the suggestion. But N did make the ultimate choice and eats beef.

What do folks think about breaking from your cultural, spiritual, religious food ways?
