Ramazan is over and the rich aroma of over-cooked lamb is evaporating from the streets, especially from the Konak restaurant on Istiklal. The demand for the sweating elephant's leg is less during Ramazan so they stay on the spit longer, emitting a gamy smell called "tail-butter". It resembles the smell of a rotting ewe's carcass found by a rambler laying in a ditch in the Peaks, bloated and maggot-ridden after a mauling by a feral dog that escaped from a local encampment.
