It is unique to the Anglo-Indian community,<ref name=NatGeoTab/> where it is considered a delicacy despite being abhorred as taboo by both parent cultures.<ref name=NatGeoTab>{{cite journal|url=http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2004/04/0419_040419_TVfoodtaboo_2.html|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20060521093728/http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2004/04/0419_040419_TVfoodtaboo_2.html|url-status=dead|archive-date=21 May 2006|title=National Geographic Taboo Foods: It's All a Matter of Taste|journal=National Geographic Society|accessdate=2010-11-25|date=2010-10-28}}</ref>

The flesh of a fetus is not regular table-fare in {{em|any}} culture,{{cn|date=January 2022}} except balut, a common food in countries in Southeast Asia, which is a developing bird embryo (usually a duck or chicken) that is boiled and eaten from the shell. The non-Anglo-Indian butchers' markets make efficient use of all other portions of the animals, but since the fetus is considered taboo by most Indians, even when goat fetus is available, those who seek it may not be able to buy it without difficulty.<ref name=CTV>{{cite web|url=http://www.ctvtravel.ca/shows/?mode=1&id=318 |title=Taboo: Delicacies|work=CTV Television Network|accessdate=2010-11-26 |archiveurl = https://web.archive.org/web/20061005165120/http://www.ctvtravel.ca/shows/?mode=1&id=318 |archivedate = 2006-10-05}}</ref>
