Yes, beef. Fair enough. I admit I don’t know much about the scripture. Apart from beef, is there prohibition of meat in general? Or am I confusing Sikhism? Isn’t that why food products are either marked as vegetarian or non-veg? And Muslims talk of affirming their faith by eating meat?

in Hinduism, consumption of living things is forbidden along with alcohol [in Sikhism and Hinduism, it’s lightly taken by the general masses except those who practice their religion in it’s strict sense].
