Are there any goat's left?

I thought only Germans ate a lot of meat but was I wrong! Xinjiang province, China is equal to it for sure.

The Uighur staple here is goat/lamb/mutton and it is everywhere. Kebabs are a favourite and is made in a very interesting way. It's always 1 piece meat/1 piece fat (pure)/1 piece meat/1 piece meat. There's another style where they use minced meat and put it around a skewer. They are both really fricking good! Normally chewing fat would be kinda gross but not here. Delicious! Get a Nan bread and you can't ask for much more! We have had it EVERYday and I can't believe Jenni hasn't gotten tired of it yet!

They've also got a rice dish with a big piece of mutton in it. They've got noodles with mutton in it. They've got baked dumplings with...yup, mutton in it. They even use the head! I must admit I don't have the guts to try it though...ick!

By far, this area is the best for food! We've never eaten so well. And for 1 yuan per skewer, we can gorge ourselves for under 10 yuan (1.50 CDN)! SWEET!

I do hope the Uighur way of life stays this way. It's so much fun to see how they live and go about their daily lives...the food's pretty good too!
