buffalo meat

 water buffalo is the main sauce of meat in Egypt for those who can afford it. donkey and goat is also used but a heavy fine or jail is imposed on the butcher if caught .

Horse meat

EGYPT, and we in the uk complain when we have to eat horse flesh.not only do they have balloon mishaps that are only reported when there is a loss of life animal flesh is only dumped in the canals or river if the flesh has become inedible often some butcher is eaten to court for selling donkey meat last time there was a court case the butcher asked why not if there is a call for cheap meat. this butcher was caught with a trailer of donkey heads on his way to the skip.When I lived in luxor (an apartment opposite the famous Luxor Temple )at day break  because the market street was was walk only the meat was carried in  and one could tell what kind of meat was being delivered "I,E,. the hooves and head ,midday my neiebour wold get his share of  veil the people who bought this knew what the were buying.
in this one area half a dozen butchers operated from, all the locals came here for from whether it bee camel or veal, but all the meat i had was real nice and fresh tuesday was market day dairy and other farm produce.when ahmed and the local butchers had a fresh carcas in if one did not get there by 6.00 it was all gone liver kidneys etc was cooked up and locals came in for a serving to go with the chips etc (beats M Donalds)
