EID

The big "Eid" or holiday is this week.  The first day of it was 

Friday and this is at a butcher shop the day before.  Every family

buys a goat, lamb, or small calf to butcher on the "eid."  There

were so many goats everywhere in the city!!!  On the first day of

the holiday we went and visited some friends.  It was great to spend

time with them but right before we were going to leave they brought out

a pot of food.  I did not recognize the dish but the lady of the house

reached down in the pot and pulled out the "special" piece of "meat" for

me to eat.  After asking many questions I realized that I was eating the

stomach lining of the goat they had slaughtered that morning.

Addie was sitting next to me and wanted to try it, of course

she did not know what it was.  She liked the taste and thankfully

ate most of it for me.  Of course, when they saw Addie eating it 

they found another piece for me!  I did manage to get it down, and

the taste wasn't that bad but the texture is something I would never want

to eat again!!!!  After that visit Abram and I were sick for two days, don't know

if it was that or something else but who knows!  I just loved being the 

"special" guest when we go places :)
