Food of Nagaland     

---

No matter, whether you are a vegetarian or a non-vegetarian, you can freely plan a tour to Nagaland without worrying for the availability of the food there. Though, the majority of food served here is non-vegetarian but even vegetarians will be pleased to get their kind of food in this Indian state.

Naga tribes love adding spices and chilies in their food preparations for more flavor. They use the skin and intestines of animals to make delicious non vegetarian dishes. They in fact, don’t throw away any part of a dead animal and try to use it for different dishes.

People of Nagaland are fond of eating rice, meat and vegetables. Most of the people here are tribal and gorge upon different non-vegetarian dishes. Not just plain meat, people here are fond of eating the meat of dog, spiders, pig, cats, crabs, cow and even elephants.

Dzutse, Ruthi and Zutho are the peculiar beverages served in Nagaland. These people also love drinking rice beer, a popular drink that tastes best with smoked beef chutney. These people are fond of eating dal with eggs, poora haah and thukpa noodles soup.
