The butcher HFF

The butcher HFF
Against a wooden Fence in Hunza, Pakistan, is a butcher, selling yak meat. The tail is a fine flourish and identifier. Fortunately with cool temperatures and altitude there were not flies about, so much more hygienic than many I have seen in many markets in the world

Yak is basically a variation on beef…lovely long stewed with spices.

Hope your Friday is fabulous and your weekend safe and very happy.

This reminds me of Maghreb and Middle East butchers, displaying dromedaries' and goats' meat, exposed to flies. Probably flies are not a problem in Hunza, considering the altitude. HFF, Diana!

Superbe ce beau gigot de Yak bien présenté. Ça doit être tendre une cuisson à l'étouffée.

Another original capture from this fascinating part of the world. I've never tried yak but it looks like it would be strong-tasting red meat.
HFF Diana & have a great w/e.

What a great photo, I love the Yak tail;-) This looks quite similar to butchers on the Altiplano.
In Western civilisations people are squeamish and don't want to see any traces of the animal their meat once was....
hFF and a good weekend!

Great shot, Diana!
This scene reminds me of a documentary I saw recently about the hard life of many Mongolians. I admire their originality and their abilities. They are far ahead of most of us, yet they are often discriminated against.
HFF, and enjoy the weekend. ox

Ein gewohnter Anblick für mich. Vor dreißig Jahren hatten noch viele Menschen auf dem Land in Ostdeutschland Schlachttiere, die hinterm Haus oder in der Waschküche geschlachtet worden. Auch heute gibt es noch diese Art der Schlachtung, besonders bei Jägern und Kleintierhaltern. Ich hatte selber 10 Jahre einen EU Schlachthof in meinem Landwirtschaftsbetrieb. Dort mussten wir allerdings unvergleichlich höhere Hygienebestimmungen einhalten. Egal ob sinnvoll oder nicht. Hauptsache es ist nicht zu warm, es sind keine Fliegen dort und Werkzeuge sowie Hände sind keimarm sauber bei der Verarbeitung.

Remember in Africa we could recognize meat sold along the roads because it was covered with flies. Therefore long time stewed with spices to kill all germs. Not the case here and it looks tempting.

If you want to know the soul of a town you always have to visit the markets. I remember the Palermo market where the wasps gave a good account of the meat that was exposed in the open air. Best wishes, Anton.

Vor Jahrzehnten gab es noch oft Hausschlachtung in unserem Raum, Die geschlachteten Tiere hingen an einer Leiter und wurden zerlegt.
Starke ländliche Szene, Diana.
