Food of the Epic Age

One of the common foods especially on festive occasions was a mixture of milk and rice. It is mentioned in several places in the Bharata. At times it used to be flavored with clarified butter, honey and fruits.

Pork and venison were consumed by all, including the brahmanas contrary to popular perception and, perhaps later descriptions. Meat used to be mixed with rice as well.
