Amrita has been a vegetarian since June, last year and she loved her non-veg grub a lot as she has grown up in a Punjabi family. She started making her own brand of bacon jam and couldn’t get enough of it herself. She has a bacon tattoo dedicated to her love for the jam. For her, it wasn’t a film or documentary that triggered it. It wasn’t a sudden move. She started drifting after reading articles/stories on the industrialisation of meat. The idea of antibiotics and steroid-laden meat put her off.
She took an amazing food trip to Nagaland in February last year and witnessed explicit meats. People there eat frogs and worms but respect their meat, which commercial meat places fail at. Her journey towards a healthier living started with an Ayurveda course she signed up for in September.
Go-to restaurants/dishes: Barley-Jowar salad and veg mutton kofta at Bombay Canteen, Z for Zucchini at Leaping Windows.
