Not to draw comparisons but....


This meat shop is in Nis, Serbia. I could sing rhapsodies to the Serbs and their prowess with pork. You haven't tasted bacon or sausage until you have experienced it in Serbia. I admit that this meat shop is outdoors and exposed to the elements as the one in Prishtina is. But at least the meat here is cured so I don't think it will spoil readily.

Get Your Fresh Hot Meat Here!


I can never get used to seeing this. Mind you, the day I took this photo it was at least 70 degrees F.and the door was wide open. Notice the steam on the inside of the windows? The street in front is dusty and there is a steady stream of cars with no emission controls whatsover, ie., lots of exhaust fumes. I don't even know what kind of animals these are in the window....are they sheep or goats? The thing that really got me was how naked they are but they still have their eyelashes! It's enough to turn a person into a vegetarian.
