Croc is good alright, yeah it does tastes like chicken.

Shark is nice too, kind of like cod, nice and meaty with no bones either.

My mate once ate some shark at a house party. He came home to our estate and called me up to insist I come outside to look and marvel at the stars in the night sky above. Then he rolled over in the grass he was lying on and threw up violently for a few minutes.
He may have drank too many pints of shark beer, though.

I had a lot of camel stew in Africa, it was awesome. The best meat though was the goat that we bought, killed, skinned and roasted ourselves - it wasnt necessarily the best tasting meat, but it was fantastically satisfying to kill your own food and eat it Raging I didn't try boar, I've heard it's really good.

When goat is cooked properly, it can be alright. Bad goat in Africa is just so so bad! I only ate rabbit for the first time ever when I was over there too

Goat curry is very nice..but maybe thats because they end up putting in so much spices that you cant realise how crap the goat tastes:D

I like how I actually don't have to feel uncomfortable about being a big meat eater on this forum. Definitely one thing it's got going above other circles I'd normally be in where every second person's a veg or vegan. Can't help thinking they're judging me, like $:\$

Croc isn't too bad at all. It's got the texture of a fleshy, meaty type of white fish and would you believe it, tastes like chicken. Had a nice Croc burger up in Cairns earlier this year.

That's were I seen it too, the white colour put me off (seen it raw before, v.white). Must try it, cos the colour of ostrich was off puting too, not what you'd expect from a bird. Dark red

Ostrich is tasty as hell, as is boar and gazelle. I cant remember what else I ate. 'Carnivore' restaurant in Nairobi is the greatest place on earth

Mellor · 25-11-2010 02:27AM

hmm, forgot to mention, my dinner tonight
BBQ kangaroo steak, broccolli and homemade cayanne guacamole

Haha I've heard about that place, it's awesome!

I went on a trip earlier this year around a few countries in Southern Africa and some guys that were on my trip had started in Kenya and been to that place. Apparently the waiters come around to your table with the different meats on swords that they slice off right in front of you. You have your own green flag on your table which shows that you want more meat and when you put up the red flag that's when they stop coming up to you.

The place where I tried warthog (among various type of antelope/gazelle, ostrich, buffalo, etc) was called "Boma, The House of Eating" just outside Victoria Falls.

Cool restaurant names, if nothing else! :pac:

Yeah, I walked in, saw the meat on swords and new I was in my spiritual home. We went last man standing on it.. still have my green flag of victory!

It used to be fantastic, in recent years it hasn't been able to get a lot of the wild meats due to changes in wildlife legislation. Even the farmed ostrich isn't always on offer. They used to have everything from giraffe, eland, buffalo to warthog. As far as I know everything is now farmed and subject to availability.

Shark is nice too, kind of like cod, nice and meaty with no bones either.

I thought shark stored nitrogenous waste in their flesh and had a very acquired 'ammonia' taste!

The Shark I had was 'Gummy Shark', it's sold as 'flake' in Austrailia and you get it in the chip shop.
Lovely battered fillet, no strange taste.

Holland and Barretts have some excellent sales on at the moment. On their website everything is half price, plus free delivery over 30 euro.

I was in their Galway shop yesterday and they have a "Buy anything in the shop, buy any other item for 1 cent" deal. I stocked up on vit c

They also sell Meridian peanut butter. The guy in the shop said it was going to last for 2 weeks.

Gargle with salty water, pre boiled if possible.

Take your toothbrush, give it a good rinse and leave it steeping in a mug of salty water during the day - stops you reintroducing anything back in.
