To market, to market............

Bangladesh


We have a nursery rhyme: 'To market, to market to buy a fat pig, home again home again jiggitty jig'.
I know she would not be going to market to buy a fat pig. Pigs of course are not eaten by muslims or for that matter Jewish people or Hindus.In fact I believe only Christians eat pork. And if you see what pigs eat in these countries you will understand why. More than 40 years ago while living in a small village in India I became vegetarian for this very reason. We had a goat a few chickens and a pig. We had no running water or bathroom. We also had no waste, the pig saw to that.
But I digress, the woman here is off to market.
