“By the way, their sheep have these HUGE triangle shaped tails. WEIRDEST thing I ever saw.”

Fat tail sheep, I think. They use that to keep the kebab thing from drying out by placing it at the top so the mutton suet is continually melting over the spiced meat. I have heard.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fat-tailed_sheep though the pictures don’t look like other pictures I’ve seen, which matched what you’ve described.

Do you remember the "goat grabs"???
The food is always laid out on picnic blankets, on the floor.

My husband and I snuck in early to see the goat grab layout. Just peeking at the food.
We BOTH noticed a big fat cockroach crawl into the goat food...and decided NOT to join the "Kapsa," goat grab that night. We ate at home.
