Algeria/Tunisia Gallery

 

For Katherine’s birthday in Algeria her colleagues held a Meschoui – a goat is slow roasted for 48 hours.
At the end of the roasting you pull the meat off with your hands.
Katherine says, “Dionysus being one of my favorite gods, I was not too happy about the idea of eating a young goat.”
