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.
