Significado
The meat of a sheep.
Contexto cultural
Sheep meat is the most prestigious meat for breaking the 'Abiy Tsom' (Great Lent) fast. The slaughter is done at dawn on Easter Sunday. During Eid al-Adha, 'የበግ ስጋ' is shared with the poor and neighbors, following the tradition of Ibrahim. In regions like Wollo and Menz, sheep are a primary asset. The quality of 'የበግ ስጋ' from these areas is famous nationwide. In the city, 'የበግ ስጋ' is often eaten as 'Tibs' in specialized restaurants called 'Sega Bet' (Meat Houses).
Ordering Tip
If you want the best lamb, ask for 'Tebot' (young lamb). It's more tender than 'Beg'.
Fasting Awareness
On Wednesdays and Fridays, many restaurants won't serve 'የበግ ስጋ' because they are fasting days.
