I've heard of burnt offerings before but this story gives it a whole new meaning. It appears that the people of the Paharia tribe residing in Thipakhol (India) love to have guests in their homes. However, homeowners will burn down their kitchen if houseguests enters into them. The link provides an interesting look into these peoples lives.

Now, I can burn toast and boiling water but that is a statement of my cooking skills and not tradition...

Have an awesome day!
