Fat bottomed sheep…they make the rocking world go round ..
At a livestock market in Central Asia. Sheep for sale. These are the standard sheep here. The fat is valued highly, and used in cooking as lean meat is seen as tasteless and inhospitable to offer to people. It appears as cubes on kebab sticks, or as cooked lumps on top of dishes. I would imagine that the brutal climate and subsistence life here sees it as a source for the animal to draw on when times are tough.
The huge lump on the backside is pure fat, and sold in markets for a high price as a large white lump, which looks most unappetising.
Happy Friday and all the best for a happy and uplifting weekend.
