I once took a Greek bus tour from Salonika to Phillipi at the end of Lent and saw a number of skinned lambs hanging outside — for sale — at an isolated gas station. Country people there didn’t have close-by supermarkets.

Saw an interesting monument to Alexander the Great that day, too — a massive bronze sitting lion — in the middle of nowhere.

Well, I’m not averse to aging & hanging meat - we used to hang deer in the basement for a little to drain blood & such before it was skinned, but outside what stops maggot infestation on skinned meat?

Ok don’t rub it in, great trip to Greece.

But seriously, did they explain the significance of the Lion?
