The river snails, which are very small in size, are cooked with вЂdaalвЂ™ and sucked. Frogs and (river) snails cost Rs200-Rs250 a kg. вЂWednesday BazaarвЂ™ in Dimapur is very dear to these tribals for the array of animals, insects and worms sold here. The Nagas say frog meat tastes like chicken. Not all species of dogs, frogs, snails, worms and insects are eaten. Chilly, mostly вЂbhut jolokia or Naga mirchaвЂ™, and bamboo shoot are equally popular. Meat is also cooked with lettuce and spinach leaves. For dog meat, the best spices are ginger, Naga pepper and dried red chillies. Frogs, bee larvae and insects are cooked till dry (with ginger, garlic and chilly). вЂFrog is like chickenвЂ™Most meat dishes are boiled with suitable ingredients and spices. Some love their meat with anishi (a preparation made of dried yam leaves). They smoke their meat at home over a kitchen fire and apply axone (fermented soya bean) to create a pungent aroma in the dishes. Their food habits are different from those of other tribals in the Northeast - both in terms of the animals they eat, and the style of cooking. They also have a sizeable population in Arunachal Pradesh, Assam, Manipur and eastern Myanmar. There are 16 recognised tribes and a number of sub-tribes of Nagas in Nagaland. вЂњHunting is something the Nagas have practiced for ages and itвЂ™s a matter of pride for a hunter if he has the highest number of kills,вЂќ he adds. We rear pigs, dogs, cats, chickens and buffaloes but the meat of wild animals is always preferred,вЂќ says K Sangtam, a Naga elder. вЂњWe have feasts throughout the year and no festivity is complete without meat.

Occasionally, however, they let the skin be, and use it to make shields. No part of an animal is wasted - even blood, skin and intestines are eaten. The meat is mostly pork, beef and chicken, but it can also be snakes, snails, rats, squirrels, dogs, cats, mithuns, buffaloes, deer, spiders, birds, crabs, monkeys, bee larvae, shrimps, red ants, and almost everything that is wild. Rice is their staple food, which is taken with meat. Warriors as they are by nature, the Nagas love hunting, and the meat of wild animals fills them with great delight. But what they relish most is the meat of wild animals. They do not even spare insects and worms.
