I came across this group of Bangladeshi's in the process of carving up their 'korban' for today's Eid Al Adha (or aidil Adha as they call it here). They didnt mind me taking photos.
They had slaughtered two cows about 1 hour before I arrived - one apparently was for 'korban' (ie sacrifice) while , as far as I understood, the other one was to be divided simply on a commercial basis. The larger of the cows cost 2,800 Ringit (400 quid) and the smaller one (for Korban) 2,600 Ringit.
They use all parts of the animal - apart from blood - which according to Halal tradition is released from artery in neck with a sharp knife and allowed to flow into drain.
I noticed them emptying stomach contents so that they could cut the stomach (tripe) into pieces. Normally in the UK we only see 'bleached' tripe in butchers. I have never seen it being removed from the animal before. The stomach coating is actually green obviously due to colour of the grass which the animal would normaly eat.
