We are approaching the Lunar New Year. This is a huge celebration in most Asian Countries. Mongolia is definitely no exception.

Tradition here for this time of year is pretty rich. Almost every Mongolian home will have a sheep (like one of these below) roasted and prominently displayed in the center of the table. The prized portion for guests is a slice of fat from the tail.

All over town sheep meat is for sale. The carcasses all still have the furry tail attached.
