Mapillai samba rice? It’s called bridegroom’s rice! Why is it called like that? In olden days, the bride used to select her groom in a competition where many grooms across India will participate.

She judges the groom not by seeing his wealth or likelihood but his strength!

The groom was actually instructed to pick up (haha, not pick up but lift) a heavy rock in front of him to prove his power infront of the beautiful lady. The rock is actually called Ilavattu kal.

Wondering how is that connected to mapillai samba rice? If the groom fails to lift the ilavatukal, he will start eating mapillai samba rice daily. What?

This red in colour rice is so much nutritious to lift a heavy rock! Yeah, he has no other way to eat them and lift the rock unless he wishes to stay single for the rest of his whole life! Haha! How beautiful those days were! 

They were not so weird like nowadays in which the the groom with his whole family comes to her home, judging her capability of cooking and other house hold works and agreeing  (even if she knows nothing) to move on with her with a 100 gold pounds dowry and a car!

I will better jump straight into the topic instead of upsetting all girls reading this:)
