So she doesn’t eat peanuts?

lol Well, Kali might or might not- but Ganesh rides around on that little mouse in the picture.

So all three, Kali, Ganesh, and the mouse might eat peanuts. Peanuts, though, are a New World export to India, so before the Age of White People’s Exploration, there were no peanuts to eat in India (Portuguese brought them from Brazil to Africa, then they spread to India). Ganesha first appeared around the 4th century, so peanuts would have been introduced long after that.

Guy next door is Indian; I’ll ask him if Lord Ganesh eats peanuts. Questions like that frequently lead to informative and fun conversations.

Being the earthly embodiment of a god is way beyond “alterboy” or “eucharistic assistant”, eh?
