  • As we continued our exploration of the #bazaar in #Osh #Kyrgyzstan 🇰🇬 we stumbled upon the meat section. Mutton, and beef to some extent, are the most common meats served in #Kyrgyz #food. The man on the left upper corner was a master at cleaning mutton heads. In a few minutes he would strip the head of all its meat and skin, eyes included. In Kyrgyzstan, mutton skin head, tongue, and eyes are delicacies (which we tried curtesy of our hosts when we were in Mongolia). Bon appétit! . . . . . . . . . #aroundtheworld #earthofficial #exploretheworld #igtravel #passportready #tourtheplanet #travel #travelblog #traveldeeper #travelphotography #worldcaptures #trip #thediscoverer #kyrgyzstan_inst #discoverkyrgyzstan #kyrgyzstantravel #travelkyrgyzstan #foodphotography #foodstagram #markets #traditions #localcuisine #localculture
