Kutti pi (prounounced 'cootie-pie') is a dish from the Anglo-Indian cuisine, consisting of the flesh of an unborn fetus of whatever animal. It is unique to the Anglo-Indian community,^{[citation needed]} where it is considered a delicacy despite its being abhorred as taboo by both parent cultures.

The flesh of a fetus is not regular table-fare in any culture. The non- Anglo-Indian butchers' markets make efficient use of all other portions of the animals, but since the fetus is considered taboo by most Indians, even when goat fetus is available, those who seek it may not be able to buy it without difficulty.
