Bubba's BBQ Nepali Style

Lear is from Texas and we have spent a lot of time driving through that great state. One of our favorite things to do when driving across Texas is to stop at out-of-the-way barbeque places. These places are often called Joes BBQ, Bubba's BBQ or something like that. Many have been very good. A few have been not so good. On occasion we have gotten sick, probably because of the lack of sanitation. Of course the lack of sanitation often makes these places good.


On our recent trip to southern Nepal we were traveling with Rakesh Hamal. Rakesh is the head of  the National Rehabilitation Society for the Disabled. NRSD is the primary NGO (non-governmental organization) that we partner with in Nepal. It was early afternoon and we were driving between cities. Rakesh asked if we had ever eaten wild chicken. In Nepal they have a breed of wild chicken that inhabit the forests. Although they look much like domesticated chicken they are a separate breed of animal called Red Junglefowl.  We said that we had not partaken of this unique Nepali cuisine. We came to the top of a mountain and there was a group of tin sheds. Each tin shed was a small restaurant with chicken carcasses hanging in front. It was Bubba's BBQ Nepali style.


The chicken was GREAT!! We were careful to drink a soda from the bottle.

This picture shows Lear pretending to cook over the wood oven. The chicken is cooked inside the oven on kabob skewers and spiced with some a secret spice known only to Bubba.
