[@batchoygaming2478]

if you go to the eastern and northern part of Meghalaya we use bamboo shoot as well for the base . like bamboo shoot cook with smoke pork , bamboo shot with chicken ,bamboo shoots chutney etc. and we also use a lot of spices like cardamom , cinnamon, bay leafs king chilli , cumin , coriander , black pepper , cloves in Jaintia hills .

[@noshivore]

wow!!! now that sounds like something we're interested in not sure how the bamboo shoot would taste; would probably be unique seems like there are a lot more spices used in NE Meghalaya because we didn't use any of those super aromatic spices like you've mentioned

[@batchoygaming2478]

@noshivore Different regions have different kind of taste .

[@noshivore]

@@batchoygaming2478 makes sense; thanks for sharing your knowledge!

[@TravelwithPaul]

Jaintia and Khasi are the same tribe except the garo tribe. Most important ingredient in khasi food is the turmeric, zinger and black sesame seeds. Beef is also another important protein we eat.

[@noshivore]

@@TravelwithPaul ah good to know! Yea we knew about the beef as well but on that day opted to do an entire pork feast 👌 The base for a lot of the dishes we learned were the mustard oil, onion, ginger, garlic, turmeric and … of course… black sesame paste

[@TravelwithPaul]

@noshivore you need to try bhoi food which is a khasi dish from the north region

[@noshivore]

@ never heard of it… but definitely will get a chance to try it when we are back in Meghalaya!

Yes jaintia are khasi but not all khasi are jaintia ,we are comprises of many small territory mylliem ,bhoi,war,maram,langam,jirang,jaintia

"Khas" doesn't mean hills. No one really knows what Khasi means. What we know is that "Kha" means to be born so maybe Khasi means Children of Si. This is just a personal speculation and not canon😅😅

[@CAG_GHOST]

Yes....was searching for this.

[@CAG_GHOST]

​@@noshivore In simple terms Matriarchal means everything is in the hands of the woman....Matrilineal means the succession and descent in the women's line but the head of the house is still the man and so the Chiefs of villages are also still men.

[@noshivore]

@ hmmmm interesting! Thanks for sharing the people we were around told us it was matriarchal so that’s what we went with bc that is our best source :) Cheers!

[@candddyyy]

​@@noshivore It's also matriarchal, the head of the household is the mother and legally, most of the land is under the ownership of women. Women take the leading decisions regarding the household. We wouldn't say our society is patriarchal.
