Meat-eating Hindus?

Did anyone else ever notice that Indy seemed to think nothing at all of an Indian palace sitting down for a repast of snake, eel, eyeballs, bugs, and monkey brains?
Did Mr. Lucas (or whomever) make a little boo-boo, or was it scipted to throw us (but not our hero) a clue?
All I do remember is that when I was in the depths of kid-hood, one of the coolest things my parents would get me were storybooks of popular movies or other fantasies with plain old-fashioned cassette tapes that would advise you to turn the page with a ding (or in my case, a crack of the bullwhip). It inadvertently got me reading years ahead of schedule, and I know that it was mentioned in there that Indy made a comment to himself about the dining hall meal.
Just covering their tracks for a serious blooper by educating the kids of the late 70's and early 80's?
Ah, well. Let's be careful out there.
