| Jun 10, 2018 at 11:27 | comment | added | Alexander Rossa | Not all of Hindus (large part is non-vegetarian even) and even if they are vegetarian, they are rarely vegan - not only because of the ghee but because of all milk products in general as cow has a special place in Hindu religion and the products made of its milk have usually a special place in the cuisine by extension. While I agree that they are probably closest example of what the OP is asking about, it would be a misrepresentation to label them as such. | |
