See post 38...islam commands muslims drink camel pee. No kidding.

[ETL]

He and the other slaves were only allowed to eat camel urine, as the milk was reserved for the slavers and there was literally nothing else -- I say eat, because he described the camel urine as thick, sludge-like and salty.

Bear Grylls reveals how Obama ate raw salmon and discussed drinking urine

Daily Mail ^ | 12/14/15 | Snejana Farberov

"They shared tea brewed from berries, ate bear-gnawed bloody salmon, talked about drinking urine
and discussed climate change"

Obama: What time did you say lunch was?

[Lurkinanloomin]

Unfortunately there has been a steady stream of Somalians through every President since, Clinton, Bush II and Obama all imported their share. Obama probably more than his share.

Aussies have camels. The US has hogs. The feral hog population has been out of control for years.

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.

[Quality_Not_Quantity]

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.

[This I Wonder32460]

Gross! I’d rather eat pork, bacon, ham and smoked shoulder.

The Apaches ate many of the released camels and the last one seen was around Ft. Huachuca. Douglas MacArthur when a young boy saw feral camels there. There were legends about camels being seen up into the 20th Century.

Four more years of Obama and we would have probably been waiting in line just for the chance.

[ETL]

Lol! They can’t get much cuter than that little guy or girl.

[PLMerite]

I got dibs on the name “Hump Burger”.

“Do it ‘til you’re satisfied.”

[elcid1970]

Those look like Uzbeks at the camel BBQ, from the headgear.

[Obadiah]

What in the sam hill...?

[Boogieman]

Substandard? I’d walk a mile for one!
