The ancestors of Kodavas were an indigenous warrior tribe that liked to hunt wild boar for food, today it has been replaced by the domesticated pigs. While pork is a local favourite, chicken and mutton are also used. Rice and its various cooked forms is a staple, which comes as no surprise as paddy is grown in abundance here. Vegetarian dishes are made of bamboo shoots, wild mushrooms, jack fruit and raw mangoes are also common. Jaggery, coconut and local honey are often used to sweeten.
