Post the pandemic, there are silent thoughts being expressed loudly about foods eaten by the North East people. Taking a cue from Wuhan China, many people feel the North-eastern people share the same food habit and therefore are responsible for the origin of COVID-19. Here again, while the allegation is made by a few people with the sole intent to rebuke their NE brethren, there are people who genuinely bought the story so much so, that at a time when the region had only a handful COVID-19 positive cases, many North-easterners in the cities were forcibly distanced by people as possible carriers of the virus. While there is absolutely nothing wrong with the food habits of people, I can say with certainty that more than 90 percent, if not more, of North-easterners, will never consume a bat. And no market or restaurant is selling 'snakes' or 'bats' alive or cooked.
