Seafood and meat

Julien asked if goat was the main meat available, and I promised to try to get photos of a butcher shop. The first butcher I asked, however, did not want a photo. Many people here don’t want their photo taken, but are ok with me taking the stand. The fellow who sells fish saw the butcher ask me not to take his, and was fine with me taking him, though he did pointedly turn his head…

One of the sweet memories I have from Tunisia is swimming in the evening in Bizerte after our language training. One evening, a school of sardines must have been chased ashore and jumped out of the waves, reflecting the sunset all around me. Soooo magical. I had only eaten sardines from a can until I visited a friend, Machi, in Thessalonika, Greece. My mouth still waters just at the thought—wow, were they delicious! I imagine there are a lot of different kinds that look similar, but I think those two containers at front toward the right would be sardines.

The reason the butcher shots are not great is that I didn’t ask…

Since I haven’t had much luck posting photos from phone, I downloaded, then exported, and reduced the file sizes. If anyone notices a dramatic loss in quality, I can stick with the originals in future…just let me know, please. Some will not be as good, anyway, due to zoom on the phone…
