The The Great Fair at Thessalonica was about goats and donkies! YOu know, they have a race of donkies there that are small and very sturdy. As for goats, well that is all they have, Goats, they love them there, they found them also very affectionate!! LOL! They could have served during the Fair a local dish called "Kala-Pacha!" This is the specialty of Therace. They serve for breakfast the head, the intestents and the leggs of the goat! (The itntestents are filled with rice and I have admit, I tried it and it was not too bad unless you get lucky and get a goat eye floating in your soup! ) or fired locust that people there cherish very much! (part of their oriental heitage!) Real crunch stuff! ggg ""The Atlas is dated 1375 and the stones were probably sold at the precursor of the Russian Nijny fair or found their way to the Khazar empire"" This is around the time Ibn Batuta travelled from the Constantinapoli to Crimea to visit the great khan on the Volga! By this time the Khazars were out of the picture. There could have been some isolated pockets of Khazars or Plovotsians or Bulgars, along the Volga, but I doubt it.
