It would be fascinating to hear the reaction of some of the foodies in here (at least among the Yank contingent) to the big news this week: the announced shuttering of Gourmet magazine...

I'm the kind of guy who likes to eat a lot. I think it's one of the most important dimensions of travel, and really helps you understand a culture and where it's coming from. Hey Nepaltrekkingguide, are there any videos on Youtube about the Sacrifice Festival? Not the bloody part where they kill the animals, I mean more generally where you see how it's celebrated? It sounds very interesting!

Animals(male goats, sheeps, chickens, ducks, buffalows, pigs) Sacrifice Festivals in Nepal, it start from today & continues to 4 days- This is hindu religion festival. Millions of animals they kill in this festivals. After they killed the animals, they eat the meat as the blessings from their hindu gods/goddesses. They believe the meats is blessing foods from their gods.
