[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Looking for a recipe for sheep's intestines? The cooks of East Turkistan know the secret. They stuff them with veggies, meat, and fat, boil, and decorate with spices and more vegetables.
The scent of mutton fat lingers in the air in China's westernmost region where Uighur Muslims are the majority, pork is virtually taboo and ethnic Han Chinese must accustom their palates to the more pungent flavour of lamb.
Lamb is cooked in every possible way, and there is almost no part of the sheep that is left uneaten.
So how about a bowl of flavorous, feshly cooked intestines?

Hi Saule,
It looks absolutely revolting! But you have taken an excellent photo of it and captured the surrounding atmosphere well.

Hi Saule,

Thank you so much for offering some freshly cooked intestines, but I think I'll pass. Nice composition on the photograph.

Take Care and don't eat too much :-)

Hi Saule. People seem to forget that the sausage is actually a stuffed length of intestines. How detached are we in the West from the slaughter and preparation of the food we eat.I am sure that on a cold day it must be fortifying. Well taken Saule, great PoV.I like the body language of the three plus one. Selam. Klaudio.Is Severa Nazarkhan from your country?

A well composed documentary shot, Saule, and good use of the fill-flash to bring out the detail on this colourful dish - which I shall leave to the locals to enjoy - I am not that adventurous in my eating habits ;) A cold time of the year to be in Urumqi! Cheers . . . David

Pretty popular in some Middle Eastern countries as well, I tried them in Northern Iraq, The stuffing contained rice besides meat, spices, etc...and cooked in tomato soup they were not too greasy, They're not as revolting as many folks think! Seriously.
