I will give you one quote from a Zoarashtrian WebSite, which casually mentions our legendary cleanliness!!!
Brahmins also had a strict sense of cleanliness and bathed every day compulsorily in the morning, and after passing excreta. For the Zoroastrian too, physical and spiritual cleanliness was very important.<<
We still do. I never drink ‘Bed Coffee’ for example. Nobody has taught me to avoid that. I just find the thought of consuming any liquid or solid before I wash my mouth unthinkable!!!
You don’t find a bunch of Hindus eating french fries and dipping into the same ketchup pot to give another example.
Though I find we are doing that kind of thing more and more!! http://members.ozemail.com.au/~zarathus/kayani33.html
Anyway for the record, I am not offended but just amused.
The one thing noticeable about Brahmins down the ages is how many baths they take for all occassions!!!
