Wow, I seem to be missing bacon a lot!?! Or maybe it’s just meat in general… We are able to buy meat sticks or stews etc. in town and we tend to get meat once a week here at the volunteer house but either way it’s just not cooked very well…or it’s goat!
On Friday I thought there might have been a chance to enjoy some pork as one of the volunteers bought a pig to make hog roast… but sadly it ended up being pork skewers over the fire instead… not delicious although the smell was great!
Also didn’t really feel like eating it after making friends with that very pig earlier in the day – here’s the before & after!
In fact most people in the community cannot afford to eat meat very often – not the traditional types of meat anyway.
Met this lovely lady, Josephine, when I was here in November and loved seeing her again. As we were enjoying a beer away from the busyness of town, she walked up the hill and came over to chat and show off the catch of the day which she was preparing for dinner… mole! And a massive one as well. 😳 She did offer me a seat at the dinner table and even though I was told that mole tastes like chicken, I decided to pass…
