in Sutherland where one can find the daily necessities.
Harry wanted to buy some Karoo lamb to take home, as it is the best. They sent us across the road and said there was a butcher.
It was just a room with a counter, a salesperson and a door behind her. When Harry asked to see the lamb chops, she said he could not as it was hanging behind the door.
She pointed out to the wall which had posters with the different cuts and prices.
We thought it all very weird but ordered the chops without having seen them.
A wonderful image of this store and a great story of your experience. I remember when I was a kid going to the butcher with my Mom and the meat was left in big refrigerated rooms. We only saw the meat when the butcher was cutting the pieces we ordered.
I really am enjoying the pictures that you have been posting recently. This looks like such an interesting place and while it might be difficult to imagine living there I bet if you lived there long enough, you would enjoy the peaceful, quiet safety of it.
Talk about locally grown and farm raised! What an experience. Did you get to eat them yet? Were they as good as ordering something as fresh as this sounds like they would be? Great story- good shot of a rather eclectic looking grocery.
@grammyn You could be right about the safety there Katy. The saleswoman who worked at the butcher, said she moved there because of the safety and was very happy.
On the other hand, if I were to move there, there would be no photo ops except the few buildings you get to see here. Of course, there is the night sky which we did not get to see too much of ;-)
