Mbuzi-Goat


Support for International Change had a big testing day at the Kisongo Masai Market on a Wednesday. They must have tested over 200 people, there was a line all day. On Wednesdays, Masai women come to sell their fabrics and the men come to sell their goats. Certified butchers come to check the goats for diseases and make sure they are ok for consumption. A couple of us decided to go get some fresh goat meat. This place was known to have the best goat meat around. In a small corridor, guys were slaughtering goats and hanging them to drain their blood. Then the goats would get skinned for their hides and gutted slowly. The intestines are cleaned of excrement and everything is sold for consumption. We proceeded to order a couple racks of ribs and side portion of intestines. Using only sea salt and grilling, the cooks made a hearty meal of straight meat. In Tanzanian culture, men get together and share plates of meat...This was a good day to try goat...
