THE GOATS OF DJIBOUTI


In Djibouti there are goats everywhere, in the city, in the middle of the highway, along the countryside and on top of trees. Yes, on top of the trees getting at the tastiest bits of new green growth. The Djiboutians are traditionally nomadic goat herders. They still are. And their goats are fine looking, healthy and happy.

Goat is the country's traditional dish. I have eaten goat and it is really delicious. Although, it is very fatty. So, you have to go through a lot of fat to get to the meat. It is very hard to understand how these goats can get fat living on lava rock. But, they do!
