Meat Market {Malawi Mondays}

{Malawi Mondays is an attempt to show glimpses into "how we see Malawi" as someone who has moved here from another passport country. Hope to give a little picture of how life here is beautiful, exciting, difficult at times and full of learning experiences}

So, I guess it is kinda obvious how I fell off the blog wagon for a bit. June was a busy month with finishing up school, hosting a missions team, and having grandma come visit for a month! 

Let the Malawi Mondays commence!

Meat here is considered a "relish". 

Relish is anything that you eat with your Nsima. See here for more info on Nsima.

Meat is pretty expensive and is a treat, rare for many we live around.

If you had some extra kwacha and wanted to buy meat for your family, you'd head to the market where you'd find chicken, rabbit, goat, or currently mouse kabobs (you read correctly, mice.on.a.stick)!

The goat is usually slaughtered out on tables and you can pick your choice meat along with weighing your portion and be on your way. 

{sorry if this pic makes you squirmish}

It may not be totally USDA approved, but we've still yet to hear of anyone with "mad goat" disease and it actually tastes pretty good!
