Why aren’t there any recipes for beef?
Most Burmese people do not eat beef and growing up in Rangoon we also followed this tradition. As a result I have never been fond of the taste or have experience cooking beef. Recently I have started to look into where and when this tradition comes from. As far as I know, not eating beef is not entirely because of religious belief. I think it may stem from the fact that cows/oxen are used to plough and harvest rice, an essential stable in Burma. Perhaps the cow/ox is more valuable as a work animal.
