Looks fine if you want to barbeque a goat.
Not quite. We were on a month trek with nowhere to get food, so when we came across a goat-herder our guides saw dinner. If it had been down to me to skin and disembowel a goat, I probably wouldnât do it in a tent.
Reminds me of this charming gentleman who had part of a dried goat strapped to his back and nibbled away at it as he wandered around.

Way off topic but Iâve been in the animal rescue/shelter world for 20 years (as a volunteer). Mark Buehrle is immensely admired for his work in animal welfare. He and his wife Jaime and their menagerie of pets are featured in the 2015 documentary âThe Champions.â
Not sure it gets any better: one of the best pitchers ever and a tireless advocate for animals.

Me, Iâd have had a few Mars Bars instead.
No wonder humans have spread to all parts of the world - we will eat anything (not me, Iâm a picky eater, but the species as a whole)

In Afghanistan, when eating local food we learned not to ask after the one time we did and our terps responded just âitâs meat.â And thatâs as far as we ever found out.

Just to round this off, for Muslims Eid is a day of sacrifice and here is a Muslim goat with a very short life expectancy. It was delicious. More to the point, the kitchen is clearly modelled on my own, along with the cinder blocks, or is it the other way round? The women do all the work, the men, being men, sit around all day chatting and listening to the stereo.

@Sohail can correct me. A sacrifice animal must be distributed: 1/3rd goes to the poor, 1/3rd to be gifted, 1/3rd stays in the household.
Honestly I wouldnât know.
@stevensegal Nice pictures!

Exactly my motto when traveling Asia. Donât ask eat what looks good to the eye and tastes good. Never ask what it is, you will loose appetite.
Although, I must say that those good people, who I have dealt with, know our western limitations in food and have gone through great efforts not to put is in embarrassing situations.
They made me adopt gently to Asian culinary traditions.

We once took daily turns to be official food taster. The hardest was in rural Japan where no one speaks anything but Japanese. The menu consists of bits of wood on nails up on the wall, so I just pointed to a few at random. Some of the things were a bit weird. The music was weirder.

When I was living in Ethiopia in the 'sixties we made a trip to Harar and there outside the city gates I watched this manâs father (this fellow inherited the job from his father according to some research and his father was the âhyena manâ then) feed hyenas bones in this and several other seeming dangerous manners. Fascinating.
PS: I must confess my Dad (against my Momâs objection I think) tipped the hyena man so that my brother and I could carefully feed a hyena a loooooong bone.

Holy smokes.

I think it should be moved to a separate thread and this thread should go back to misc ramblings
