When I was growing up, meat was our favourite, even though we couldn’t afford to buy too much of it. Turkey has four seasons, so of course we ate lamb in spring when they were born, sheep in summer, and mutton in winter.
I remember once we were at my grandmother’s house and she made a sheep and eggplant stew. I was only a little girl, and I picked up a piece of sheep from the stew and it tasted so good. But I got busted! I can still feel my grandmother chasing me out of the kitchen.
