Anyone ever eat camel?

Even in a slow cooker or "low and slow" in a smoker, with lots of sauce, I bet camel meat tastes bad. (Yes, even the toes.)

ScottHar

nope, however I have munched a fair amount of 'toe'.

dammit pg.....took my joke

got a foot fetish, Eh ?

"Anyone ever eat camel? "

This question being asked by the guy who has drank liquid cat ****.

Camel toes, yes

Camels are not even eaten by the natives!!

C&P:

In the introduction to his book, The Fearless Diner, globe-hopping gourmet Richard Sterling described finally encountering someone who claimed to have cooked up a banquet of roast camel:

[Sven Krause, executive chef of the Celadon restaurant in the Beaufort Sukhothai Hotel] told me how he stuffed a camel with six sheep, stuffed the sheep with chickens, and the chickens with fish. He told me how it took 24 hours to cook, and that he served it on a silver platter in the shape of a recumbent camel. He related how the tribesmen who were the sheik's guests then attacked it with their knives en masse, feasted with their bare hands, and ate the meat down to the ivory."

I'm just saying. I bet camel meat is pretty rank, that's all. (The cat-scat coffee? That wasn't bad at all, as I indicated in my review.)

Uhhmmm... yes it is, quite often in fact. Plenty of middle eastern types eat camel, and enjoy it. I've seen Andrew Zimern, and Anthony Bourdain both eat camel, and both really liked it. I've also seen them eat horse (and donkey) and claim it is one of the best tasting meats they've had. Horse is very popular outside the US. I'm sure camel is very popular in regions that have plenty of camels.

I ate raw horse in Japan (ba-sashi) and thought it tasted like...

...raw horse.

That's partly why I think camel meat would taste bad.

I'll bet BBQed camel is good (for us without a life, Ram [you ****]).

... I hate to admit it, but Camel DOES taste pretty damn good ... it is greasy ... but it's got the consistency of beef and tastes somewhat like a cross between pork and moose ....

^Ridiculous!

(I know I'm a city slicker, but wouldn't a moose kill a pork if it tried to mount it?)

ScottHar

^ a pork?

^Haven't you ever been to a farm? And seen the beefs, the porks, etc.?

Re: #13

... seriously ... it tastes like pulled pork ... very greasy ... stringy meat ... some parts are tough ... the ribs are tender, the inner-loins are very good, but the shoulders and hind-quarters can be a little tough to chew ...

... the preference of Camel is to cook a smaller/younger Camel over a larger, full-grown Camel ...

... it's really not bad at all ...

... think of greasy duck and pulled pork .... how's that?

Alright, alright. I'll try it.

(You going camel hunting anytime soon?)

#15 Well, I've been to farms...drive by a few every week. One of my friends also had a Speak & Spell when we were kids. I don't remember "a pork". Then again, I was getting physically abused, so maybe someone upstairs decided to spare me that other thing.

... I would have loved to have bagged a few ...

... never killed any ... those bastards will only bleed them to death ... it's pretty nasty to watch ... but in a cool sort of way ... they cut it's throat alongside a big ditch/hole that is filled with hot charcoal and covered with palm leaves and then gut it out, dress it out, fill it with all sorts of whatever vegetables & fruits are available, roll it in the hole ... cover it up ... then bury it for about 18-20hrs .... then they dig it up ...

... the meat literally falls off the bone ... I had a great time ... and I wasn't even smoking the Hookah pipe at the time ... (we did later though) ... but we did have some single malt scotch and some sort of beer that had a nasty formaldehyde (sp>? taste to it ... I stuck to the scotch and bottled water ....

... I WILL be out in Idaho next September ... Mountain Goat hunting and will be in New Hampshire/Maine in the fall for Moose season ...

Note: Moose Meat HAS to be canned and left to sit/age for about 3mos before eating it ... otherwise it has too much of a wild game taste to it ...

... last one I shot was a huge **** ... many years back ... 1994? and I only kept about 125lbs of meat ... gave away all the rest on site ... ended up giving away most of the 125lbs I kept .... too stringy and too gamey for my likes ....

... nothing like venison .... but it will make good Italian Sausage .... (for you **** out there)

A hiker became lost in the woods and he spent several days wandering without food or water. Finally, he was able to kill a bald eagle and was cooking the eagle over a campfilre when he was found by forest rangers.

They had no choice but to arrest him for harming an endangered species.

The hiker's trial came up and he explained to the judge, "Your honor, I was lost without food or water, and spent three days in the forest. I had to kill and eat the eagle." The judge, dismissed all charges due to the extenuating circumstances and extreme situation.

As the hiker was leaving the courtroom, the judge asked, "By the way, what did the Bald Eagle taste like?"

The hiker replied, "Something like a mix between a Spotted Owl and California Condor -but less greasy than a Whooping Crane."
