Camels, Australia, Camel meat??

[Bob Nelson 35Whelen]

Bob,
I don't run anywhere, much less while carrying a big sack of Spicy Hand rub for Camels.

@CBH Australia
Chris you sound like me. Couldn't run far enough to get out of sight on a dark night

@CoElkHunter
I would pay to see it. @CBH Australia chasing a bloody big camel around the bush with a big packet of spicy rub yelling get back here you big bastard, get back here. I don't think even Chris we old be that silly. MMMM maybe a Forrest Halley would be tho. Worth considering.

That reminds me of the ole Bugs Bunny cartoon with Yo Samity Sam riding a camel and trying to get it to stop. Jumps off runs up along side it with a clubs and says Camel when I says WHOA I means- bash's camel on head - WHOA.

@rookhawk Who told you Mutton is horrible?
I like lamb and Mutton.
Most of the Goat is export unless you seek it out.
I might try some Camel but I'm not in a position to cook a whole one like the Arabs do so I hope it turns out ok..

Hogged is even better than lamb - but nobody knows what it is !

Hogget !

 

[Borderer]

Hogget !

This is absolutely true. Every sheep farmer I know would eat Hogget in preference to lamb.

I thought you meant Hogget, bit more flavour than Lamb & a touch older - a Two Tooth !

Camel can be tasty if a younger non Bull !

The camel pies were good at the bakery in Maleny.

Camel does need to be very young . I had a TBone near Alice Springs once which was superb . Told a mate who had some camels bothering him . He shot ( what he claimed ) was a young male and proudly brought some of it over to me . It was bloody disgusting . The dogs would not eat it . Very disappointing . By the way I noted in a post on fallow deer that you had once lived beside Lake Sorrel . I was co owner of The Interlaken Estate on the west side of Lakes Sorrel & Crescent for 17 years .

Yes many years back but I was on Lake Crescent .

You must have been doing well if you owned part of the Estate Eh ?

I do OK !

Interlaken Estate was overrun with fallow deer . Can’t guess how many I shot there between 2004 and 2021.

I like young Camel meat, marinated in yogurt and slowly roasted in a pit full of charcoal. Served with pita bread & hummus, it’s absolutely divine.

Based on your recipe I will give it another go .

Many people look at you strange when you mention Two Tooth. It is the best tasting sheep.

I like Em all if cooked right.
It seems Lamb is getting promoted the most and I read recently it’s the most saleable.
We grew up with Hogget or Mutton being offered at the local Butcher priced up on the chalkboard.
Nothing wrong with a bit of saltbush mutton if a property offers up some meat.

 

[PCC600]

The pressure on meat producers is to turn the animals off younger . Does not make for better meat but does make for better cashflow .

 

[Rule 303]

Most of what is sold as Lamb is Two Tooth. Just have a look at the size of the Lamb Shanks, Lamb Chops etc.

I grew up on a sheep farm, didn't like working with the dopey buggers but sure liked eating them

I think it would be quite entertaining to see @CBH Australia being instructed by @Bob Nelson 35Whelen on how to best give a spicy hand rub to a camel…

I laughed at this one but was a little disappointed that in 3 pages no one mentioned the coveted camel toe.
