Traditional Desi Man the Hunter-Gatherer

“Me man, me hunt meat, me bring fire, ugh”

Fine words echoed by man over generations and repeated in the Khan household this weekend.

Sitting behind a desk all day armed with only a pencil sharpener, a couple of standard HB pencils some post it notes plus Microsoft Excel and developing business models to improve corporate profitability it’s quite easy for man to become a little detached from his traditional hunter side. But this desi man has found the perfect fix for this situation – BBQ. Cooking food outdoors helps to feed a man’s inner hunter-gatherer feelings.

So this weekend I popped into my local Halaal butchers and picked up some fine chicken, mince meat & some masaala fish and then started a bbq in my back garden. I’m proud to sport the fact that although the kitchen is a “no go” zone for me, cooking in the great outdoors is second nature and my speciality. The BBQ is after all the only time when I take full control of the food chain, from sourcing the meat, to lighting the fire, preparing the food and cooking some fine meals this traditional desi man is exercising his “hunter-gatherer” side.

So guys invest in a BBQ and reconnect to your traditional hunter-gatherer side and remember those words. “Me man, me hunt meat, me bring fire, ugh”
