Jaffna food and toddy culture with stray dogs
7 Answers from travellers
The stray dogs near food stalls and taverns in Jaffna are usually just looking for scraps of crab curry. They are generally harmless during the day. However, do NOT pet them, and do not try to take their food. If you are bitten or scratched, you must immediately wash the wound with soap and go to the Jaffna Teaching Hospital for free Rabies shots.
Just ignore the dogs. Do not make eye contact and they will leave you alone.
Do not eat the super spicy raw seafood they sell outside the tavern if you have a weak stomach though.
Thanks, we will go early and leave the dogs alone.
If they bark, stand your ground and pretend to pick up a rock. They will scatter.
Yes, if you drink it early in the morning before it ferments too much in the heat.
