f.. Simmer (another two weeks)
g.. Serve with a garnish of parsley
h.. Will serve 3800, but if more are expected, add two small
rabbits
LOL! :-) Okay, this is probably a stupid question, but what's
the story with the camels? Surely, they would be an imported
animal in Oz?
No, we exported them actually
I have a coworker who comes from Jordan, and he says that camel
is a very tasty meat. Someday I want to try some. I'm very fond
of goat.
I'd be more likely to try camel or goat than kangaroo. I think it
is the colour of kangaroo meat that puts me off.


What color is it?

Almost black.


That would be a bit odd. I don't know if that in itself would bother
me or not. It might. I've eaten frog legs and snapping turtle, but
they're both white meat. :-) And yes, the turtle kind of tastes like
chicken. ;-)

Probably if it was served up already cooked I might be ok. But seeing it raw
in butcher's shops and supermarkets is very off putting.

We used to raise our own rabbits. Actually, it is very tasty.

I've never been able to stomach liver or any other internal organs.
That is where I draw the line. Also do not care for mutton. I *know*
that a good portion of the world likes it.

I like liver and kidneys, mutton etc. I love rabbits. Haven't had one for
years.

During WW II, the meat that was most available and affordable was aged beef
liver. That is to say, liver from geriatric steers. It was tough and full
of gristle, arteries and veins. My Mom tried every method of cooking it. I
couldn't stand it! I still can't. I like other livers.

It works in chopped liver either just tht or a 50/50 mix with chicken
livers. You cut out the worst gristle and veins.

Thanks, Sis. I'm glad it works for you!

Ah..Ha...That is what must have happened to the camels in the AZ
Desert...Maybe the NA had a feast...LOL. They were planted her as
transportation for the Army in 1854...when they closed the forts they just
left the camels behind...they disappeared



That is the origin of a law that was on the books in Arizona for many years
(may still be there, for all I know) that supposedly made it a crime to
"shoot a wild camel!"

Just to keep myself "honest," I checked this old story out on snopes.com.
They report that the law is *not* on the books in AZ (although they leave
the door open to the possibility that the law may have existed at one time):
