OMG! I could be ok with the legs but not with the dead head. Although I'm used to seeing such things because my father was a vet at the cattle farm- sometimes he brought dead heads for our dogs to eat :-S
ReplyDeleteEEEEEEWUUUUUUUUUU
ReplyDeleteWe were just there last night shopping..Mr cow head was not there. Thats one funny post sis.. gotta love u sense of humor mashaAllah.
ReplyDeleteAt least it makes it clear what animal the meat comes from. In Korea I saw a skinned dog for sale at the market, little claws and all, while in Peru there were squashed Guinea pigs, with those cute eyes and ears looking at me.
ReplyDeleteTrue, not something you want to see but at least you know where it is coming from.
ReplyDeleteSquashed Guinea pigs Ian? Squashed??!
ReplyDeletelooooooooooooooooool no comment
ReplyDeleteI have similr shots taken during Eid, but for some weird reason I got to say: WTH! The idea of dead heads being sold at a local supermarket is way too freaky...and disgusting!!
ReplyDeleteGlad im vegie!! poor cow!
ReplyDeleteBy the way, whats with the hooves? I saw them here in Muscat at Lulu, who buys them?
ReplyDeleteHello there,,,,,,,,,, strange!!!!!!!!why?is it unedible?
ReplyDeleteor you just don't like these parts of meat i love them((((((( if there is no difference of taste,the goods will not be sold.
nadia nadia hahahahaha u know that Dhoaris luv to eat cows' head and make soap of it so no problem looooooooool, in fact it will be good business for the market... but for me i don't wanna see this view for sure...
ReplyDeleteprooving that its a freshly killed "Dhofari' animal no doubt.
ReplyDeleteWithout being funny - was it wrapped in cling-film?
mmmmm....I'm torn between the feet or the ear/tongue (?) next to them in the same pan.
ReplyDelete(gag)
regrets checking ur blog while having dinner...
ReplyDeleteMy kids are just mesmerized every time we go to Al Isteqrar when the head is on display. They make me wait extra long and press their noses against the glass counter to get a better view. :-/
ReplyDeleteAccording to the butcher Omanis just love grilling the head over hot coals. Apparently the eyes are a delicacy. (is this true???) Roast eyeball anyone LOL.
Ewww Squashed Guinea pig.. VOMIT ! lol
ReplyDeleteIn thailand one night i was starving, while waiting for the bus to take me north i decided ill go get some snacks at the 7/11 shop. On my way out i saw a crowd of people around so i went to have look at what the crowd was about. I put my hands forward to reach for what i thought was chocolate treats but they turned out to be fried roaches, grass hoppers and other lil bugs... i screamed and the locals laughed.. was a funny sight watching ms white girl scream in horror while the locals enjoy the delight.. im laughing now but i was not back then.
Oh my goodness, squashed guinea pigs! Seriously, Ian, I don't know if I needed to know that! I had a guinea pig as a pet when I was little ... cried buckets when he died and had to bury him properly ... I think I'd throw up if I saw them laid out like that ... also had a dog at some point too ... and a cat ... and I really liked the nice gentle cow on my grandfather's farm ... and his horse ... and I had a pet rabbit ... so I can't bring myself to eat any of these animals ... never had a chicken though ;) ... Also, don't get me started on what Disney's Little Mermaid did to me when it comes to eating fish or lobsters ... No wonder I find it easy to stay slim ... I've been traumatized :)
ReplyDeleteLOL! How about cow brains?? No wonder am not surprised when some pple choose to be vegetarians. sf
ReplyDeleteIs there a particular reason it is kept though?
ReplyDeleteNot a very pretty sight.
ReplyDeleteOh my! Is there really a demand for cow heads?? Eeekks!
ReplyDeletedear Umm Ququ.
ReplyDeletemaybe Nadia has bought mr cow head thats why you didnt see it there,just kidding.sis
??????? OMG okay that image is gonna haunt my dreams X-D
ReplyDeleteWTH?! @ squashed guinea pigs and HORROR @ skinned dog
yum.
ReplyDeleteloooooool,, ONE WOMAN I wish I had ur appetite, I’m so close to being a Chinese and eat anything that moves (kidding).
ReplyDeleteGUYS BTW, we don't eat cow heads!!!! I guess its there to prove the origin of the cow (Somali or local) and the freshness of the beef.
Good one though NADIA
Cow head in my fridge. Thanks Al Istiqrar!
ReplyDeleteFdayooh No1 Kmayooh... ohhhhh cows from Somal...naaaaa usually goats import from Somal not cows... cows are either local or australian... right??????
ReplyDeleteu really confuse me...
and ppl in SLL usually boil the heads and eat its flesh, from cheeks i guess loooooooooooool :)
Interesting, In the Chinese market I was at the had a hole pic on a spit in the shop window. When I saw crabs in a tank half of me wanted to by them to free them like in a movie I saw the other half wanted to eat them. What can I say I lived in a fishing village when I was little.
ReplyDeleteAmase,
ReplyDeleteAs far as I know, we eat local goats heads not cow. In fact Asians (precisely Pakistanis) eat cow heads.
Yes this is the new trend (Somali cows) whenever u c a large lorry full of brown redsh cows, be aware that they are from Somalia
@Fdayooh No1 Kmayooh loooooool got it Somali cows ammmm interesting...
ReplyDeletebut bro i saw a lot of SLL ppl eating cows' heads... maybe it depend on the culture, as u know there are many cultures in SLL not only one
