I've been offered just about everything money can by on the streets of Kathmandu. Not terribly surprising. However, after becoming friendly with a restaurant owner and his sons in Pokhara, we were offered something that really did catch me completely off guard, 'boti', better known as 'cow'.
In Nepal, cows are considered holy and sacred. They walk freely and it appears that they really are able to please themselves what they do, in rural and residential situations. It is two years jail for killing a cow.
So as the owners son's eyes darted left and right as we discussed the possibility of me actually buying some boti from him to eat, I was completely intrigued.
He barely moved his lips and his eyes followed every passer-by with suspicion as he explained how he came by the meat.
Now, I can't tell you if we bought any boti, and I can't tell you who may or may not have eaten the boti. And, It's only hearsay, but I'm told it was very good.
What I can tell you is, it wasn't me!

ReplyDeleteHey Lisa, if there was some "boti" to be had, my money is on Taiga. I love my meat so if I was there I would have joined Taiga. We are having steak and fresh green veges for dinner tonight. Yummy. Stay healthy, love from nana and koro.
