Neiba maintains tradition of donkey meat consumption
In the Neiba region of the Bahoruco province, the consumption of donkey meat remains a surviving gastronomic tradition, despite a significant decline in its popularity over recent decades.
Local residents and merchants in the La María community report that while the practice was once common during social gatherings and parties, it is now a more niche culinary interest. Some food establishments still cater to visitors who specifically seek out dishes such as fried donkey meat.
Interviewees noted that the meat is prepared with various seasonings and that its flavor profile is comparable to beef. While donkey meat is still sought after by some, local vendors continue to offer a variety of other proteins, including pork, chicken, and sausage.
