Carnivorous Carnival

Now, When driving a car at night, what would you say are some things you should watch out for? Hm...let's see, drunk drivers? animals like cats, dogs or cows? Well, in Central Australia it's camels and kangaroos. They often decide to camp out in the middle of the road. How random is that? I must tell you though, they get hit pretty often causing a lot of dammage to the car and, apparently the animal itself. I'm sure the "Roadkill" restaurant has sufficient supply.

Camel steak was the best meat I've tried during our food fest in Central Australia. It's my new favorite, although something tells me there might be a problem with that. Crocodile was also excellent. No, it did not taste like chicken, well, maybe a little :) To me, it tasted like fish and meat at the same time. After a few days of eating sausage and ham for breakfast, beef, pork and lamb for lunch and emu, kangaroo, croc and camel for dinner, I felt like a true predator.

What's with the suspense?! Does this have to do with your food exploits in Australia?

I guess it is more related to Thai adventures... Camel in Auss was remarkably good :)

Maria, We are all thrilled! Keep writing!
