In Swaziland a sign of wealth is the number of livestock you have. That includes cows, goats and chickens.  For example before a man can marry a woman he has to pay a "labola" to the brides family for her hand in marriage and that is always payed in cows. And it signifies that the man is wealthy enough to support his wife.
  So if you really like or respect someone you give them an animal as a gift.  Sunday our team received such a gift.  Our very own rooster! We had no idea what to do with it. When we got it its legs were bound and we couldn't untie it because then it would fly away, and we didn't have any chicken food to keep the bird around as a pet. So we decided there was only one thing we could do with it.
Eat It.
During our first semester in South Africa we had two pet chickens which we named Lunch and Dinner (unfortunately we were never able to eat those two pesky birds) so the fitting name for our new rooster, for the short while that he was with us, was Breakfast.
Thankfully over the weekend we had two Swazi boys stay with us and although they are only 14 and 12 they were experts in the field of killing and cooking chickens.  What an experience it was to see and let me tell you I know fully understand the saying "you look like a chicken with its head cut off".  I was truly fascinated by the whole ordeal. And in the end Breakfast tasted pretty good. Although I wasn't brave enough to try the feet, intestines, or eye balls as the Swazi's do.
