Bryson with purchase of cow leg (Mazondo) and hoof as a gift
When a cow is slaughtered every part of its body is eaten and the hide is used for sitting mats known as dehwe.For families that stick to tradition, certain parts of the cow will be eaten by certain members of the family like the liver is reserved for the men.The daughter-in-laws are responsible for cleaning the tripe and intestines.The head and the feet are not skinned, the hide is the meat. Fire or hot water and a blade are used to remove the hairs. "You need to build an open fire outside, the burning hairs smell awful. You also need to have understanding neighbours, in Zimbabwe it is not a problem because a lot of people eat cow feet."
