meat

I don't eat any four-legged creatures, so I wasn't interested in buying meat (though my husband did wind up getting some for himself) but I thought that I would snap a few photos of this event.
The meat is placed on something, I think its an old rice sack, on the ground. You say how much you want to buy, there is a set price per kilogram, and they hack a chunk off the carcass with a machete. Then they hook the meat on the scale and slide the weight over to make the scale balance. They will either trim a bit off or add a bit to get it to balance.
