So some friends and I tried to order the goat bruchettes at a local restaurant the other day and they told us that they were on the way and if waited for 4 hours then they would have them. I know your first reaction is hell no, I would never wait that long for food. But when your average wait time for a meal outside of Kigali is a cool 2+ hours, waiting an extra hour and a half doesn’t seem that bad. We all decided to order something different and hold off on the goat for another day. Probably within 10 minutes of ordering we hear the distinct squealing of a goat. We see a man riding on the back of a moto holding a goat upside down going toward the back of the restaurant.
They were nice enough to let us muzungo’s watch the simple slaughtering and preparation for a meal. With this, many folks were not so hungry for bruchettes anymore.
I’m not going to lie, I appreciated the simplicity and closeness of the food I eat here especially in comparison to the perverted American factory farming system. It’s nice to see goats on leashes eating grass spread throughout the country. Do you ever wonder where all the meat you eat comes from? Americans are biggest consumers of meat by a long shot and really how many cows, pigs and chickens do you see hanging around? Not many huh? It’s because we like to be efficient and pile our animals in building where nobody can see them. I believe that if we opened up the doors to the factory farms in America, a lot more people wouldn’t eat meat. Please find the source of you food and decide if you want to eat it still.
