But for the people here, the royal food is the meat of the host. That is beef. When cooking for a special occasion guest is cooked in a slightly different recipe. The taste of this food is also worth remembering. The people of Chittagong have bought more names for their hospitality than they have bought for their food. Host meat is twofold. One is to cook meat with meat rezala or makho makho broth. The other is to cook meat with gram. Both are so close to tasting that sometimes cooked meat is sold in the city at Kejidar.

For them, the fancy restaurants in Dhaka cook the meat with care. Chewing gum is found in Khulna Satkhira Bagerhat. If it is a new seedling from cutting, it grows slowly if it is given to any fruit or wood tree.
Chui is a herbaceous tree, so it is planted at the base of mango, blackberry, betel nut, coconut, etc. One-year-old chui can be eaten, but 5-6-year-old chui is better. Good results have been obtained with mango and shimul trees. The restaurant in Chuknagar, Khulna is famous all over the country only because of the meat of Chuijhal Diekhasi. The taste buds of the meat-eaters cook the food.
