Here’s the lastest story from Paul McKellips, US Department of State, Public Affairs GO Team on assignment in Iraq. I really appreciate what he’s doing and the look at agriculture in a country like Iraq. This time he visits a meat market.

The shopping experience in Iraq is quite unique. Fruits and vegetables are purchased at farmers markets and roadside stands. Lamb is often purchased directly from the village butcher. Meat and poultry are bought at local meat markets. Listeners may be surprised to learn what one of the preferred meats in Iraq is.
