People talk about Hyderabad Biryani. It is popular across the world. But one must check or smell the meat before they eat it. It is found by the GHMC inspectors in many of the joints here in Hyderabad that the meat was rotten. The goat, the chicken or what ever meat it was, in some places it was decomposed .
The same rotten meat was used by the food joitns for making the biryani. It was found out that the hotels were storing the dirty meat for 10 to 15 days and using the same for making biryani. Some times the left overs and the unsold meat is kep in the deep freezer is being recycled the next day.
Poultry and meat sold in shops in the city should be carefully checked by customers before buying as its provenance is often unknown. Many restaurants buy their meat from these shops rather than from GHMC approved slaughterhouses.
If the shop has not been able to sell its stock to hotels, it is put up for sale in the shop. This is not fresh meat, but could be more than 10 to 15 days old.
Restaurants find it time consuming to buy meat from slaughterhouses, so they tie up with the shops for daily or weekly supply. There is no certainty that these shops buy the meat from GHMC approved outlets. Many have been booked for procuring meat from private sources.
“The meat store owner should have a receipt from the Chengicherla, Amberpet or Bhoiguda slaughterhouses. Usua-lly, the seal mark can be seen on any of the legs of the carcass. In case of doubt, the buyer should ask for the receipt from the slaughterhouse.”So it is better not to go for the Biryani in small joints where they serve the stale meat.
Instead go to a big and popular joints where the food is on sale in a big way.
