There are two main types of meat available here, chicken and mutton. We usually eat chicken when we eat meat (which we eat every week or two) because it is more consistent in its taste and preparation. Good mutton is very good, and bad mutton is stringy and gamey, whereas good chicken is pretty good, and bad chicken is just tasteless. We have had mutton a few times, both in curries and briyanis (a rice dish), and the best so far has been one prepared by Dolly's cousin for Diwale.

What we found out recently is that the mutton we've been eating isn't sheep! I didn't even know that "mutton" could mean anything else, but what we've been served as mutton has been goat. In retrospect, this makes a lot of sense. There are goats everywhere, and its too hot for sheep. Dolly will now not eat anymore mutton, but I don't see too much different between the two... and in this area its the only red meat around!
