One thing living abroad taught me? Africans and Europeans see food VERY differently 😭😂
Yesterday was my first time experiencing Eid ram processing abroad and honestly… the cultural difference shocked me a little. We spent over six hours at the slaughterhouse waiting in queues. In Germany, they even call you to come see your ram and say a prayer before the slaughtering starts. Everything is very organized, but also very stressful.
We finally got home around midnight, and I still had to wash, slice, portion, and freeze the meat before sleeping.
But what amazed me the most was the intestines and inner parts. Here, many people actually leave them behind because they don’t eat them. Meanwhile, if you’re African, especially Nigerian, you already know those parts are premium! I happily carried mine home, washed and twisted it properly like treasure.
Living abroad will really show you how differently people see food and culture.
