Re: Allam Ghallam
Maleccha is different, Only Brahmins and Baniyas don't eat meat, rest were always meat eaters, like Thakurs and Rajputs and other castes :), this also depends on the region they live. kasmiri pandit's diet included fish and lamb.** Bengali brahmins eat fish** :)
That is why Devdas's mother said: Hum machchi kahte hain lekin kaanta halaq main nahin phansne dete :)

Vegetarianism in Brahmins came wherever Buddhism and jainism became challenge. It was Brahminical counter adaption to sustain the new order and to counter it. For islamic sufi movement, it was bhakti movement. Somehow they survived and Hinduism along with them :)

yes I kinda remember reading somewhere that Rama or some other god had a drink containing meat pieces and it was allowed in Hinduism. Why and when the meat became allam ghallam for some Brahmins and Baniyas?

It was shukracharya, the brahmin guru of Rakshasas :). After Jainism become a formidable political reality, pundas themselves became vegetarianism, Buddhism was tackled by declaring, Budhha as Mahatma Buddh, avatar of vishnu :D. Islam came with foreign ideology so it was dealt in theological tug of war and stringent caste system which decayed everything confused muslims of their place in larger Indian society and decayed muslims as well :D
Re: Allam Ghallam
Without these two, every food is made without these two, and it is so tasteless that it can be used as slow poison :D
On the contrary, I love food made without onion and garlic and not many spices. Most of the food cooked by us south-indian brahmins has only mustard seeds, a little jeera, curry patta, and sukhi laal mirch as tarka. In some dishes we also add sukha dhaniya and heeng sometimes.
You can actually taste the real vegetable when cooked without onion/garlic/any other masking elements. I think it is more of a habit. I end up with a stomach upset if I eat food with garlic/onion/garam masala for more than 2-3 days. I am perpetually in trouble when I am on a holiday as I dont get food the way I prefer it.
