@NogShine didn't get any answer to my question there. My question is specific. Do texts consider meat as Rajasik or Tamasik? – Nov 29 '17 at 05:33

Its a disputed matter. Some say Rajasic (mainly RKM monks) while others say Tamasic. The commonly accepted view is that its Tamasic. I too personally find it Tamasic. The dispute isn't a surprise though. Many other food items such as eggplants are disputed. – Nov 29 '17 at 05:54

Meat is considered tamasic as it takes very long to digest. I have heard from a knowledgeable person that spicy foods are considered rajasic. – Manoj Gowda Jun 23 '19 at 08:10
