I got stuck in Mikindani for a couple of extra days after M&R, and one of the EdUKaid teachers was having an engagement party, which in Tanzania means large quantities of animals get slaughtered.
Since I'm a guy and I was around, my participation in the goat-a-cide was pretty much assumed. Because I'm not a Muslim, I couldn't kill the goat or the meat wouldn't be halal (like a "Kosher" equivalent for Muslims but somehow less detailed)
So I helped to skin and gut the goat, then season it up for cooking (Garlic and Ginger stuffed inside the meat. It was darn tasty!) I did get to take the head off with a machete, which was the moment I uttered the above phrase. I'll try to dig up a picture.
