Meat with a difference!


Shark Meat Trading

Talk about misleading names. This so called Shark meat joint sells only goat mutton and lamb.

Reminds me of my old post - "What's in a name." Shops in Dubai sometimes have a unique feature of having names which have nothing to do with the shop or totally wacky in nature.

This graphic designer must have got his words mixed up when trying to describe a goat! Or he was simply playing around! Good thing, he didn't put a picture of a tiger or giraffe for more effect instead of the goats.

What ever said - the sign board sure does catch the customer's eye and in business that's all that matters! 3 cheers to creativity!

Sigh! Dubai...the never-ending circus...I would absolutely love to walk into that shop and insist in broken English that they sell me half a kilo of shark meat...

You would have got half kilo of Chinese Mutton passed on as shark meat! Lol

By the way! Sharks are on the endangered list so stick to chicken and goats if you want!
