Document Summary
There is a post connection between religion and food. No sugar tonight, title of a song. Food is also related to individual cultures that are not necessarily related to ethnic groups, nations, religions, etc. The romani: chipsies (term people refer to them as), they are a cultural group, have fairly strict food standards, Critical to keep all food away from getting polluted. You don"t let food come into come contact with pregnant women or menstruated women. Utensils must always be washed in a separate basin that you don"t use to wash hands. That basin is specifically to wash utensils, and have a completely separate soap, you need to keep the human and kitchen hygiene separate. Romanies are happier if men handle/prepare food than food. If you are sexually active romanies cleanse themselves by abstaining from animal products on fridays (it"s some tradition they follow) For any ritual they practice food has to be pure.
