This isn’t Somalia.
If they want a camel burger, they can go there for one.
Skip the camel meet. Send these Backward people home.
There is a great Alfred Hitchcok Presents in which people (including I recall a woman) are being torn apart and eaten by an unseen “monster” which turns out to be an escaped circus camel. Aparrently they are nasty.
Leave it to NPR to put out this crap.
Saw a camel at some carnival once and recall that where it spit on the ground there was the most powerful stench I’d ever experienced. More to the point is why we put Somalis in Minnesota.
One of the nomad families I visited in Mongolia made a camel stew for dinner. They also served camel milk tea.
The camel was actually quite good—certainly not as strongly flavored as beef.
The camels in Mongolia are bactrian, not the dromedaries of the African desert. I do not know if they would taste the same.
Great French Foreign Legion joke. Sargeant announces its the day the men get to have sex with the camels. The men go wild beating each other up over the camels. New recruit asks why don’t you just assign each man a camel? Sargeant says “What? And get stuck with an ugly one?”
***They’re totally feral, and have caused huge headaches. ***
Same in the USA. They were tried here in the 1850s and found to be great desert animals for hauling loads, better than mules. BUT, because they were the idea of Jefferson Davis, before the Civil War, the project was scrapped and the camels released in the wild and became feral.
They were shot on sight by the locals till none remained.
Gross! I’d rather eat pork, bacon, ham and smoked shoulder.
I got dibs on the name “Hump Burger”.
“Do it ‘til you’re satisfied.”
Does the waiter ask the customer, “How do you like your camel, one hump or two”?
“The challenge is getting mainstream America to open their eyes to this product,...”
He means:
The challenge is getting mainstream America to close their eyes to encroaching Shariah that requires eating Halal.
You post the best articles.
I had camel kabobs in Afghanistan. It wasn’t that good. Very gamey, like old mutton.
Sorry, not in this lifetime.
