The Sartorialist, Scott Schuman, put up a photo of four cow snouts he noticed stacked on a street in Peru, quite incredible and an exceedingly unusual photograph for his blog that garnered nearly 100 comments. I am vegetarian, I am vegetarian, I am vegetarian, I am vegetarian, yes, yes, yes, do tell us about yourselves. Never mind the comments, they are what you would expect, not interesting nor useful.
But what is intended for these snouts one must wonder. German designer Victoria Ledig has ideas. Luxury leather goods.

I see Scott has "market" in the title. So food, then .
We never seem to run short on sanctimony.
Stay away from the Kalbskopf, if ordering in Vienna.
I go to The Sartorialist pretty much daily.
It's like I'm a hobbit stuck in The Shire and there's this palantir thing through which I can get a glimpse of Rivendell.
Once you kill something, it's dead. Why not use all the parts?
Respectfully.
The Native American Indians used all of the parts of the Buffalo. They honored the Buffalo that way. The beloved creature did not die in vain.
It's stunning what herd animals those commenters at Sartorialist be.
Agreeing with April.
If you are going to kill and animal for food, try to use all of the animal that you can so that there isn't waste.
The other day I was thinking about domestic animals and how they have changed our lives as humans. Probably the most versatile domestic animal is the Bovine/Cow. We get milk, butter, cheese, meat of all kinds from the tail to the head, organ meats, sinew, collagen and gelatin. Hides for clothing, shoes, latego strips for tools. Hides that made houses and tents. Hides that were written and drawn upon. Bones that are made into more tools or carved for decorative purposes. Horns to drink from and store things in. Not to discount the fertilizer from their droppings which can also be burned for fuel.
Is there any animal so useful and versatile? No wonder in some early cultures they were objects of worship and represented the Gods.
