Kolkata is the land of culture, traditions and amazing food! The city keeps organising fun food festivals from time to time; this year, it is the Beep Festival that Kolkata is waiting for eagerly. The food fest was not the name organisers actually agreed to. Initially, it was called the Kolkata Beef Festival. However, the organisers had to change the name from ‘beef’ to ‘beep’ in the face of protests and threats.
