In the tamil remake, he orders a 'nenju fry', which might be the equivalent delicacy there. The beef dish will usually be the most pricey dish on the menu. Or someone is celebrating something.įor instance: In Maheshinte prathikaram, the kung-fu master and apprentice are about to eat chapathi and sambar, when a new character, inorder to get into their good books, orders beef for them. Maybe its a payday, or some one else is paying for it. You wouldn't order a special everyday, would you ? So when a character on screen orders/eats beef in the plot, there is something special going on. The difference between, lets say, a chicken dish and a beef dish is like the difference between a masala dosa and a 'special' masala dosa. You need a good reason to go for that extra effort. The fact is that not only is beef a staple dish in Kerala, it has always been considered a delicacy, even back in the day. Also, there is an accompanying joke in the dialogue when she says "nadakkana kozhi alla ! Vecha kozhide manam !", which would not translate the same way with beef/pothu. Thats why the plot references 'chapathi and chicken', which is whats available there. The plot of Kilukkam is set in Ooty, not in Kerala.

I would like to believe beef roast is more of a recent fetish, happy to be corrected, I’m not saying it was never there before, of course it was just that it got some great momentum off late and catapult itself in pole position.Īlso, considering there are malayalis who do not eat beef for religious or other reasons, would it be inclusive to consider that meat as staple ? In order to settle some political scores with BJP are we kinda pushing down the real king of the meat, Fish ? Kerala being coastal state always had a thing for Fish, I remember how people once upon a time making comparisons with West Bengal because the two states had lot of similarities, Fish, Football, Communism, Art and even Rice.Įxample Parotta Chicken was referenced in Kilukkam and not Parotta beef, had the movie been made today, I can bet my savings that they would used beef instead of chicken. ( correct me if I’m wrong) Or can I put it this way, earlier like when I was growing up, it was Kappa and Fish and now it’s Parotta beef ? A change in local tastes ? Or was beef always been the king of meat here ?ģ) Can we agree that the current references are directly because of the recent beef issue and not organic ? Because if we were to take older films we never really saw beef references, example Parotta Chicken was referenced in Kilukkam and not Parotta beef, had the movie been made today, I can bet my savings that they would used beef instead of chicken.Ĥ) Can movie buffs point out movies prior to 2014 that have beef references?Ĭan we still call beef staple malayali diet ? Indian coffee house does not define anything, I love their cutlets and beetroot ketchup but still I don’t think they make an argument.Īrm chair analysis here, if you were travel across the state, the most ordered dish would definitely be “fish curry meals”, contrary to your views, I see a lot more fish than beef. This has been the case for the last 5-7 years, understandably post the Beef fiasco with the new central government.ġ) Do you guys think that the beef references are going overboard, with every film trying too hard to put it in the film ?Ģ) Is there an attempt to make it look like beef is staple here in kerala, I always believed it was fish. Like the last two movies I watched had (Minnal Murali, Bheemante Vazhi) not pivotal to the plot, a vague/ random mention but ! I happen to notice a lot of references to beef in Malayalam movies these days.
