Some of you may be wondering where I got that amazing picture of a sheep in the back of a car.  The answer lies in this entry.

Now, mutton isn’t inherently a strange meat.  Lamb chops, lamb gyros and lamb meatballs can be found all over the USA.  It’s most definitely one of the top meats consumed in the USA, but the mutton I ate in the far east wasn’t normal by any means.

My day in Inner Mongolia, China, began just as any other.  My Chinese friend was cracking jokes as he always does, but this time he made a joke about how we Americans would be catching our own dinner that night.  This was a scary thought, but as we embarked on our journey for the day, I forgot about it while lost in thought in the Inner Mongolian countryside.  Now and then, we would pass flocks of sheep, walking around and eating everything they could see.  Then, we stopped at one of the flocks.

***Congrats to And/Or, the winner of the free T-Shirt, look out for it.***

There are a lot of t-shirt companies out in the world that try to create funny and ironic shirts.  Not nearly enough of them make shirts that so hilariously depict the plight of unvegans.  The crew at Snorgtees.com has some great unvegan shirts, though, and they were nice enough to send me a couple for myself.   In the spirit of community, and as a way to reward my loyal readers, I thought I would throw a bit of contest to win one of the shirts.

UNVEGAN FANS: HELP STUDENTS LEARN ABOUT DELICIOUS FOOD!

Future Foodies!

HYPE is a non-profit organization that works directly with low-income middle schoolers and their teachers to provide students with the guidance and resources needed to qualify for admission and succeed at top private schools in the Los Angeles area. We provide our students with engaging and unfamiliar experiences to broaden their horizons. A large part of building this cultural capital is by having our students try a wide variety of new foods. This pushes our students outside of their comfort zones and encourages them to take risks in a fun (and tasty!) way. Last summer, our students tried Ethiopian food, sushi, Korean BBQ, deli, and schwarma, just to provide some examples.

We want your help, Unvegan fans, to increase our students’ knowledge about the world around them by enhancing their culinary experiences. We greatly appreciate your support to provide a meal to our group of 15. With your donation, you will be opening delicious doors for an amazing group of students!
