Wish I had a picture...

I forgot to tell you about our trip to the butcher in Delhi! My friend wanted to buy some chicken so we stopped by her butcher to pick up some. As we walked into the small shop there were two men sitting on the floor up on a wide ledge on the right. THEY were the butchers. But the most fascinating thing is how they were holding the knives. EAch man held a big butcher knife between his BIG TOE and the next toe. He used his hands to postiion the chicken as the knife cut it up. Yes, from where I was I could see their feet and they LOOKED clean to me! They could cut chicken up faster than anyone I have ever seen. And that's what they do all day - sit there and cut up meat for their customers!
