Jaya, you are absolutely right. Sita probably cooked meat from the hunt and then they lived on fruits and berries in the forest.

In this version we see Shri Ram even go to rebuild a village which would never have happened as Ram vowed not to leave the forest. He sends Lakshman to Sugriv just because of that.

The writers have taken hunting off of the vanvaas to cater to our sensibilities probably. So Sita would only be cooking roots etc., not rice and daal😆

You are right about Sugriva's coronation and even ram didn't enter Lanka to coronate Vibhishan for the same reason. May be our Cvs will tell that it was not village but the forest. 😆😆

But if they could eat cooked roots and berry's why did Ram refuse to eat from Guha and why was it necessary for Sita to justify his action by saying that they don't eat cooked food? Was she lying then or she forgot that in due course of time and started cooking?

By roots, you're talking about carrots & turnips and that sort of stuff, right? Or just any roots?

Of course, that vegetarian stuff is a sore topic everywhere, never mind the fact that it's okay for Kshatriyas to be otherwise and that RLS as well as Krishna & the Pandavas were Kshatriyas. Whatever 🥱

Did they have cilantro at that time that Rama just dipped it in the pot and pulled it out after it was boiled, looking @ it admirably ❓🤣

Of course, they change things like marriage ceremonies to reflect today's tastes & sensibilities. So at Rama's rajyabhishek, they should have veg augratin 😆

by roots, I meant sweet potatoes and such type only which can be consumed (eat) raw. I am not sure carrot and turnip were present in India during that era. But yes, it is like edible roots. lets see what all these brothers will cook. 😊 I think I saw Drumstick also kept next to them while they were cooking (pics). With the amount of veggies they are keeping, looks like they are preparing a feast for the whole Panchvati.

There is a problem with lack of hunting that the writers hopefully know in advance. Let's see.. 😊

the lack of hunting is not much of a problem, ravan can put sita in a spell via a tantrik anushthan to make her say that she wants the skin of that golden deer.

I agree with everyone that Ram and Lakshman not knowing cooking is a bit unbelievable. Back in those days, Gurukuls covered every topic, from vedas and upanishads to warfare to survival techniques. I find it odd that Ram and Lakshman in SKR never learned cooking, as it's a survival technique that is necessary to survive should they ever find themselves on exile, like they are now. They would've learned enough to at least make a simple daal, boil rice, etc.

As for the meat eating thing, I'm ambiguous about it. I can see the merit to both sides of the argument. Some say that since RLS were kshatriyas, it would not be wrong for them to eat meat and I agree. As princes, they probably did hunt and even during vanvaas, Ram and Lakshman would hunt. It was not considered wrong in that era and we cannot allow our modern day sensibilities to cloud our knowledge of that era's rules and standards. Also, Sita's comment in Valmiki Ramayana about using the deer skin for Ram's prayer mat proves that they did hunt, and that no matter whether they ate meat or not, they at least used the skin for prayer mats.

I can also accept the other side of the argument that as incarnations of Gods and Goddesses, Ram, Lakshman and Sita would have eaten satvik food (roots, berries, vegetables) to teach humanity that the only way to moksha is to give up all forms of non-violence, including that towards animals.

So I honestly do not care which version serials show, though most are too uncomfortable showing RLS eating meat to protect people's sensibilities.

Why Lakshman has not touched Sita 's feet in the show... I think SKR will not show this since Star Sita is too uncomfortable with Lakshman presence so how can she allow him to touch her feet

Not just Lakshman, neither does Sita touch Ram's feet.

This show caters too much to modern sensibilities. In the beginning, Ram and his brothers barely touched their parents' or guru's feet, but after audience complained, they started showing them more respectful. Kids did not simply hug their parents back in that era. They would touch their feet first in respect, and then hug them.

A wife would touch her husband's feet, younger kids would touch elder siblings' feet, devars and nanads would touch elder bhabhi's feet, etc.

Today, such shows of respect are considered menial and humiliating by so many youngsters, many of whom have no sense of respect towards their elders, thus the show is not showing it.
