Have you ever had Palm wine or Toddy?

in india •  6 years ago 

Today it is 'Makar Sankranthi'(a harvest festival) here in North India. As we have been in a three days holidays starting from the last Saturday, we started scratching our head over thinking as to how to spend these insipid days. Though the liquor is banned here in Bihar, it is not in the nearby state jharkhand. Also, the Palm wine aka Toddy is readily available here in Bihar and to our surprise it is legal.

Today we had these Toddy and enjoyed the day.

You have to drink a lot at least to get a little tipsy. I drank over 1 litre alone and still didn't move to the inebriated condition. I was very normal even after having that all. We played cricket right after the party and enjoyed the day to it's fullest.

This open area cattle shed attracted my attention and I spent a good amount of time over there. Was I tipsy?

And my question to you guys is have you ever drank Toddy? Do you like it?

Toddy
Excellent taste
Had it lots of times but not in recent years

It is sweet in taste.

I had both during college days. It sweet with very little and nice sourness

Yes. We in Kerala consume it with tasty food such as boiled tapioca and beef curry. But here in Bihar, even uttering the word beef itself is considered as amounting to blasphemy or even sedition! I really really miss South India for its liberal approach.

I don’t eat beef
For some reason I can’t swallow it

I think it must be different than the one you get in kerala, or else it must be the cold climate

It is available in Kerala too. We call it 'Panangallu'. However, here in Bihar we can't spot the 'Thenginkallu' which I think is exclusive for Kerala.

Is this what we call "tadi'...kind of desi Alcohal ??
