Camel Problem in OZ..

johnq · Guru

If it came in bubble-wrap or small servings on large plates in fancy restaurants (with posh descriptions biggrin ) it would be regarded as a fine fare.

We have lost touch with the independent, enterprising men and women who pioneered and would hunt (not 'harvest') meat for the table.

The backstraps of a young camel would be tasty, some second but good cuts for casseroles and put the rest excluding the hump into low fat sausages.

I see no reason at all why law-abiding grey nomads who can obtain a firearms licence shouldn't be allowed to take whatever game is on Crown land, rabbits, pigs, camels and cull Br'er Fox et al.

Wafting smells from goats, pigs and venison on spits at Grey Nomads retreats, marvelous. Who is competent in Hangi cooking? A roast that fits into the Weber? Pass the red!

The bakery in Birdsville makes great curried camel pies so I hear.

I did hear that some enterprising soul out there sends selected camels to the middle east for their camel racing. Also as studs because they have very little diseases.
Much better for the land than buffalo and feral pigs who destroy the habitat.

i saw on a show last night (north woods law) wildlife officers had to shoot a bear and at the end of the program it said that the meat was given to needy families
this just goes to show that presented right and offered in areas that it has some appeal
i understand one of the biggest obsticals to shipping camels is the head room on the ships

I have tasted BBQ'd camel steaks while living in Mt Isa back in the 70's. It was bowshot game taken by a friend of mine. It tasted great.
I have also tasted BBQ'd buffalo eye fillet. Very nice.

The tragedy is that GNs can be relied upon to always have some chateau collapsible red on hand to make a tasty sauce for some fresh meat without chemical additives, and adequate leftover red to keep them in good cheer while the roast slow cooks.

How many GNs would it take to do justice to a free range deer done over coals? Better than the hell of slow 1080 poison dumped from a chopper and the carcass left to rot.

Underground mutton fed thousands during the Depression. The same rabbits in the shop were shot somewhere in the country. They didn't just appear in bubble wrap.

A camel? Whatever is available and 'in season'.

Juergen,

'Game' meat like venison is beautiful after being kept in a cooler for a while. Red wine sauce and pine nuts, and serve with roasted sweet potatoes and parsnip.

I've eaten camel steaks and camel and date sausages (yes, that's camel AND date), and both were very tasty. Kangaroo is great too, or it would be if it wasn't so bloody dear to buy. In Alice we used to have a mixed grill from Bojangles and I think also from the casino, that consisted of Camel steaks, kangaroo steak, emu and crocodile balls... no, not that kind. It was crocodile sort of minced up and rolled into a type of meatball. The crocodile was slightly bland though.

Roo is tasty and just what the doctor ordered for your health. The breeding takes advantage of the short spells of rain and plenty. Soon after, when the dry returns as always, they die in countless thousands from starvation.

Common sense, which admittedly isn't too common in Politically Correct Oz, says that there should be hunting seasons and bag limits, not the silly official tag system and prohibitions that have been introduced in recent decades and prevent the common man (and woman!) from obtaining fresh game meat for the table.

We are restricted to meat that comes from the bubble-wrap tree and doesn't involve killing animals.

I have know a fellow that has a lot to do with the camel industry and has been trying to get a camel meat processing plant set-up here in Australia but as far as I know he has had no luck. As mentioned in an earlier post he was and I think he still may even be sending the camels to the Middle East. I actually went on one of his camel treks to the Simpson desert for 12 days - it was so much fun - saw some wonderful country. Have never eaten camel, kangaroo or croc though.

When I was in the army, I was told that a camel was a horse designed by a committee..............Bill
