EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the vibrant and authentic atmosphere of a traditional halal butcher shop in Houmt Souk, Djerba, Tunisia, taken in 1987. The image transports us back in time to the bustling markets of North Africa, where the sights, sounds, and smells of fresh meat were a daily part of life. The butcher shop is filled with the red and glistening carcasses of freshly slaughtered animals, hanging from hooks and lying on tables. A large beast's head, its eyes closed in a peaceful repose, dominates the scene, while smaller sheep's heads and feet are neatly arranged on a table. Tripe, a popular ingredient in Tunisian cuisine, is displayed in a large pile, ready to be prepared for various dishes. The use of the term "halal" indicates that the animals were slaughtered according to Islamic law, ensuring that the meat is considered pure and permissible for consumption. This practice is an essential part of the Islamic faith and is still widely followed in Tunisia and other Muslim countries. The photograph's rich colors and textures bring the scene to life, allowing us to imagine the haggling and banter that would have taken place between the butcher and his customers. The image is a testament to the deep cultural and historical connections that bind the people of Djerba and Tunisia to their land and their traditions.
