Roasted Camel Hump

Would you eat camel's hump? Well this woman would--and did. Visit the link for horrifying pictures.

For myself, I'd rather have a Camel Hump Cocktail.

This has got to be some seriously fatty meat, if there is any meat at all.

I noticed some comments about eating camels. Why not? We eat cows & horses even (ugh) chickens so why not camels.

I imagine the cocktail could sneak up on you if you weren't very careful about the number of them you drink. As for the meat, I agree with Expat. And for those of you going ick about eating Trigger or Silver, it's quite common in France. When we lived in Versailles, on our shopping street, there were three regular butchers and a horse butcher (boucherie chevaline).
And, since I got here before patty, eating what?!? *snerk* :cheese:

@Harry:

I think all those links are to drinks that "Taste Like" the Camel Hump

I think that they are all pretty much the same drink just different names, ratios and slight variations of what is commonly called the Buttery Nipple.

I used to bartend but I was stoned/drunk most of that time so I might be wrong.
