A VENDER CARNE HÁ MAIS DE 100 ANOS (II)

BUTCHERING FOR OVER 100 YEARS AGO

  

São talhos, senhor, são talhos. Com carcaças perfeitamente alinhadas e simétricas, aventais imaculados e poses sérias, pois tirar uma 'chapa' era um evento, e a imagem contava, hoje como ontem: come-se com os olhos. Poder-se-ia pensar que a carne foi quase toda trazida para a rua, de propósito para a ocasião, mas o facto é que a mercadoria era habitualmente 'exposta' aos fregueses... e às varejeiras.
