Summer Meat Market






O.K. First things first.  Stop and thank God for the FDA. 
  Here it is in live color, all the meat you could ever want and then some.  The sheep, complete with fat tails(which is a delicacy) and huge legs of beef hang all over the building.  Outside in the heat, in the backs of trucks, are more carcasses to choose from.  Amazingly enough there weren't flies all over the meat, i don't know how they do that.  Then when we were leaving I noticed this big truck backed up to the door loaded with huge bags of bones.  We stopped to ask what they were going to do with these bones, thinking glue factory.  But, no, they are taking the bones to boil down to make soup.  They make a soup here that is meatless, just broth and they thicken it with flour, we would call it gruel.  SO ENJOY!
