Today I went to the Athens Meat Market
because I needed to buy "Lamb Necks", not the head, not the rest of the
lamb, just the necks.Well....I had my lesson for the day!!....

I needed a lamb's neck to make soup from. I don't plan to include it in my blog. The lamb's neck I needed was supposed to be from an older lamb (older than 9 months) and not from the suckling one.
Ninety percent of the Greeks eat the milk sucking lamb which, to in my opinion, is tasteless. I thought the neck I needed was from a baby lamb. So although I bought two baby lamb shoulders including a little neck (because that's how they would only sell it) I went ahead and bought a neck from an older lamb. In Greek the baby lamb is called "Arnï Galaktos " the older one is called "Zigouri".
The above, my friends, was just a little picture of the Athens Meat Market. I promise to show you the Athens Fish Market which is also very interesting.
Hope you like the pictures.
