| Gurkha preparing goat |
In Nepalese Rupees that's up to 2340 approximately for one
chicken! that is 30$
But you should totally pay buy it! Especially when you're working in one of the world's most dangerous places = AFGHANISTAN! The Nepalese men who make up the Gurkha regiment often get tired of the bland ration food provided by the British army and opt to buy local chicken and goat from the Afghan people! It is said that a goat can cost up to $200 US dollars! Steep price, but totally make's sense when you're working and putting your life on the line. Who care's about it being expensive right?
The British Gurkhas, who are recruited from Nepal, say they have been buying and slaughtering local animals on a regular basis since their deployment in Helmand province in 2006. The Gurkhas say food in the ISAF cookhouse is often “bland and too white,” something they are not accustomed to in their home country. So with money out of their own pockets, they purchase dozens of chickens and prepare their own “Gurkha curry” every evening.

| Gurkha Buying expensive Chicken in Afganistan |
In less than an hour, the young Gurkha riflemen slaughter up
to 10 chickens with their khukuris, or traditional knives, clean them and throw
them in a giant iron skillet with onions, cumin, coriander and green chilli. At
one point, the idea of a “Gurkha curry” was so popular that even Prince Harry
was known to eat chicken and goat curries with the Gurkhas when he was deployed
to Helmand in 2008.
