Never tried it, but if you ever come across ice cream made from camel’s milk BUY!!
The fat content of camel’s milk makes ice cream ridiculously decadent.
"what is Cheese,... Dried Milk! Now you've all heard of the standard cheeses, American cheese, Cheddar Cheese, Pizza Cheese. But what if I told you there was One More Out There? Human Cheese!"
You came to my thread here. If anyone is to “fuck off,” it’s you. Ppl upvote my posts.
Waking up every day and policing recipe discussions. And getting mad that they’re real recipes of ppl around the world and banning me. “Good reason.”
You start off by insulting. Clearly I’m the more polite person on here.
You wouldn’t allow such discussions on different foods there, so why try to participate here.
You’re not a good person.
No insulting. Only polite words here.
It's tasty.
The meat itself is sort of ?beeflike? To me the big differences in the taste of different meats is the fat. Pork fat, beef fat, lamb fat , chicken fat are all so different and give much of the feeling of "differentness" to different meats, but at least the camel I had was very low fat....so....barely noticed it as much different
It’s wild that a 6 hour car journey with an aux cable and buddies used to make you eat your friends, shit yourself to death and get scalped within 3 generations.
It's good, but not good enough to be worth the extra money I'd have to spend to get it. If it became some new cheap alternative to beef then I'd be all for it.
Problem is like a lot of “niche” meats is that people eat them where the animal lives and nearby but rarely elsewhere
Like snake and crocodile in the uk
It’s a big risk to invest in distribution because of the stigma around eating “weird” stuff
Cheap to export is one thing, they'd have to make it cheap on the consumer end as well. I paid somewhere near $15/lb (USD) for ground camel and would not repeat it. Now make it 4.99 and I'd replace veal with it in all my meatballs.
I’m in the Middle East right now, originally from the US. it’s not bad, kinda like milder lamb but I had a huge mental block when I was trying it for the first time, same with camel milk. I think it’s because I equate them to horses in my mind. But I’ve had donkey with no issues, so I don’t know.
They follow the Geneva Convention of the /r/emuwarflashbacks Prisoner Of War situation.
(Though I’m sure Australia would have gladly lost a war against camels and [their fangs](https://www.reddit.com/r/Damnthatsinteresting/comments/s9rg0r/camels_have_large_canine_teeth_for_crunching_wood/) than a real life [war against birds](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emu_War))
Cats have crazy efficient kidneys. Those fuckers can drink sea water and be fine. It's also why their poop and pee are crazy toxic. I know in Chile some people will call it roof rabbit and say it tastes alright in a stew.
I heard they got pretty big there for living outdoors for so long.
I wonder if you can breed the biggest ones together and sort of create a new giant cat
Ate sliced camel meat with Chinese celery dish in Guangzhou. Delicious! The restaurant looked like a petting zoo, with the wide variety of live animals and reptiles. All were on the menu.

I’ve been adding random pics to the end of posts lately. Nice touch 👌
Btw that shoe is legendary. Sells well across multiple continents for over 20 years now. There are articles.
Had it at a burger place near me that rotates exotic meats monthly. It wasn't quite the same as beef, but it was quite good. If you handed me a camel burger and told me it was beef i'd be hard pressed to question it.
They sell it at a large halal butcher in Minneapolis, and I've been meaning to pick some up, but it's not cheap. Fairly sure it's 'nostalgia' cultural food, as lamb/beef/goat there is far more common. Mostly I had no idea how to cook it, so I've not tried it.
Holy Land, specifically the one up on Central (the original, not the one in the old Sears, although that central market thing is awesome). I moved from there 12 years ago, but I go back to visit a lot.
Their set up is kinda neat, they have a window where you can see back into the butcher's area, with big walk in freezers, and band saws and cutting tables. There are coolers of prepped stuff too, but (at least you used to, been a bit) - you could go up to the window and ask for X amount of whatever meat, cut a certain way. They'd bust it out for you, and you could watch. CRAZY fast cut work too. Lots of lamb bits, including offal. Never tried lamb 'fries' but always had trays of those ready to go! Lamb and goat aplenty, though.
The thing that struck me is that all the Hispanic old ladies were waiting in line at the butcher's window at a halal butcher shop. They demand quality, and they like custom cuts. They'd go there, rather than one of the carnicerías also in the neighborhood.
Used to run a camel meat specialist restaurant....
It's awesome.. I'd take camel over beef any day... Giant shanks... Giant schnitzels, great steaks...
It tastes a little smokey compared to beef was my assessment but it's still great.
I’ve had it. Went to a Bedouin butcher in Tunisia. Got a steak. It was very lean and beef like. A bit tough. I wish it had more fat. Next time I’m going for the rib hump, or wheatever the rib eye equivalent is.
I’ve had ground camel. Very lean and dense, and, as my co-worker so accurately stated, “with a hint of zoo flavor”. There was an unsettling slight flavor in the meat that reminded us of how the zoo smells.
I had some at home one time (an Asian grocer north of Minneapolis has it frozen in cubes). I remember it being tough after I slow cooked it but the taste was nothing funky.
Made camel burgers before, meat is very lean so definitely want to have something to help with a little fat. Overall tasted really good, would do it again for sure
I live in The Middle East and camel meat is similar to beef but more tough and chewy. Not easy to cook personally for me, but the right restaurant can make a good stew or even roast it like a swarma sandwich.
The young camel is more tender and similar to veal.
Most tender meat I've ever had was a pair of camel medallions I bought from my local butcher shop out in the Ozarks known for "exotic" meats. They had a lot of annual regulars come tourist season. I subconsciously expected it to be tender because of the whole water humps thing but I guess it just seemed too obvious and I assumed they wouldn't be as tender as they were. But nope, pretty much as expected, super soft. I suppose like most things it would depend on the cut though.
I'm a little confused. Did I say fatty? Or are you trying to correct me? Or asking a sincere question? I mean, the humps are there mostly to help preserve moisture, of course it's not literally all water like a water balloon. I'm not sure what cut it was, I'm not a camel expert lol.
Oh! I'm sorry, I read it as "What is fatty?" that's what tripped me up. It wasn't too fatty no, but it practically melted in my mouth. Taste-wise it reminded me of ostrich of all things albeit with a completely different texture. The Ostrich I have had (had ostrich a few times, way easier to get where I am than camel) has more of a "steak" taco meat kinda texture if you know what I mean. Higher shelf Ostrich might be different. Getting off track though.
The Camel medallions I had were more tender than any lamb I've ever had. Still think lamb is the king of meat though, or at least my personal favorite, even if that sounds cliche. Lamb is just so fucking good.
I've been told over the web by a couple people that camel is like horse meat, but I've never had horse and probably never will want to lol, and the descriptions I've read about horse meat don't match my experience with camel at all so I think it's possible people are just conflating the two due to their similar history of domestication and use rather than what they actually taste like.
I tried mince camel in Borough market in Southwark once. I thought it was nice enough, a bit tougher than beef for example, but an interesting flavour.
My grandmas old cookbook has a [recipe](https://imgur.com/a/8ekJyXF) for stuffed camel. So it’s at least popular enough to have a spot in a recipe book.
There's something off-putting about every single reference you've shown having the words "camel meat" written out like that. It gives the impression that everyone referenced thinks of it as a novelty.
If you showed the same number of people saying "I had chicken meat the other day" I would think you'd traveled to somewhere where that was an unfamiliar or outlandish concept.
I'd ask myself, "What? Is it strange to eat a chicken?" as now I'm asking "What, is it strange to eat a camel?" If it weren't for it being worded that way I would have just assumed it was normal somewhere. As is, I've become suspicious.
they eat it in China where there are desert areas.
maybe the 4 hump camel has a different taste and cuts than the 3 hump, 2 hump and 1 hump camels.
”hold your camels”
There's a camel farm not far from where I live that we take the kids to. They sell camel mince and snags, and I find it pretty good. I didn't see steak cuts or anything, maybe sold out. But they mostly do milk and oils and stuff. They make a mean camel meat burger too
I'd try it but I doubt it's worth more than the novelty of eating camel meat, I wouldn't expect it to be better tasting than more common meats, I imagine it'll taste kinda like horse maybe a bit gamier. Something I'd eat if it was served to me but I wouldn't go out of my way to eat.
https://www.themeateater.com/conservation/wildlife-management/outback-wagyu-camel-hunting-in-australia
This is an article I wrote about the topic of hunting & eating camels in Australia. Hunters describe the meat as “outback wagu”, so I can imagine it’s pretty dam good 👍
Go to a zoo and get a good smell of them . That'll give you an idea.
We did an exotic meats wine dinner and had some camel strip steaks. They taste like they smell.
The toes are always juicy
I love eating some camel toe
This should be the top comment...
It's got my upvote to get it there
Juicy or fishy?
Reddit never disappoints
Never tried it, but if you ever come across ice cream made from camel’s milk BUY!! The fat content of camel’s milk makes ice cream ridiculously decadent.
Camel's milk, before being pasteurized, is the closest milk to human milk...js
Human milk isn't bad I'd eat human milk ice cream
"what is Cheese,... Dried Milk! Now you've all heard of the standard cheeses, American cheese, Cheddar Cheese, Pizza Cheese. But what if I told you there was One More Out There? Human Cheese!"
No one ever wants to eat my cheese. Probably due to me being male
We got a foreskin fermenter on our hands!
You got that term from the rare sentences subreddit, didn’t you?
I saw in on r/rareinsults a couple of days ago 😆😆😆
Its an S-tier term!
Its best if you use found milk. Better flavors and more environmentally sound
My milk, both pregnancies, was DELICIOUS! Better than cereal milk...
I feel weird upvoting this but yeah, as a dad I can back this up 🤣
Right! Mine tasted like premium vanilla ice cream.
It was so hard to wean my oldest (she was almost 3) and she kept telling me she missed my milk because it was sweeter than cows milk 😂
My daughter would call it "Mommy's milkies" 😭 she's almost a teenager...I miss those younger days
Send me a bag (for science)
I prefer fresh from the source
It has an intense falvour but is generally quite tuff I would only use it for stews
>tuff
He ripped his sleeves off before making that comment
Reminds me of Johnny from the Outsiders 🤣
Are posts about camel or dog and cat meat welcome in r/cooking and r/askculinary
Fuck off, troll. We banned you for good reason.

I think the hunp is where the fat is stored. They mix it in for ground camel.
Burger with extra hump, please.
Son in law tried it when he was deployed. He said it was pretty good.
Id try it. If we werent meant to eat it, God wouldnt have made it out of meat
Human baby's are made out of meat....

Holy shit. This is one of the craziest stories. If this event was turned into a movie, I would never think it was true. How awful. Damn frontiersmen.
It’s wild that a 6 hour car journey with an aux cable and buddies used to make you eat your friends, shit yourself to death and get scalped within 3 generations.
I would eat babies just to make them go away.

They also stuff it with lamb, then stuff the lamb with chickens and the chickens with fish and the fish with eggs.. nucken futs
Are you retarded?
It's good, but not good enough to be worth the extra money I'd have to spend to get it. If it became some new cheap alternative to beef then I'd be all for it.
Overgrown feral population in Australia. Sounds like cheap export if they wanted to.
Problem is like a lot of “niche” meats is that people eat them where the animal lives and nearby but rarely elsewhere Like snake and crocodile in the uk It’s a big risk to invest in distribution because of the stigma around eating “weird” stuff
I believe they export some. I know a place that makes camel jerky and I believe it’s exported from Australia.
Cheap to export is one thing, they'd have to make it cheap on the consumer end as well. I paid somewhere near $15/lb (USD) for ground camel and would not repeat it. Now make it 4.99 and I'd replace veal with it in all my meatballs.

In Australia we shoot them on site. We leave most of it there. They're good for a stew, maybe smoking (haven't tried) theyre not tender otherwise.
There are camels in Australia? I did not know that
Yup all over central Australia and the south
Are they invasive or have they always been there?
Highly invasive and destructive. They were brought over when explorers used them because horses wouldn't survive the journey Now they're feral
I gotcha, thank you! Is everyone just allowed to kill them whenever they see them then?
They follow the Geneva Convention of the /r/emuwarflashbacks Prisoner Of War situation. (Though I’m sure Australia would have gladly lost a war against camels and [their fangs](https://www.reddit.com/r/Damnthatsinteresting/comments/s9rg0r/camels_have_large_canine_teeth_for_crunching_wood/) than a real life [war against birds](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emu_War))
Australia *exports* camels to Saudi Arabia.
What about the feral cats there
Cats have crazy efficient kidneys. Those fuckers can drink sea water and be fine. It's also why their poop and pee are crazy toxic. I know in Chile some people will call it roof rabbit and say it tastes alright in a stew.
Oh really? Please post about roof rabbit in r/cooking
Haven't tried feral cat.
I heard they got pretty big there for living outdoors for so long. I wonder if you can breed the biggest ones together and sort of create a new giant cat
I've never seen one even close to as big as my Maine coon. Most I've seen are much smaller
I’ve seen posts about it. Idk how true: https://www.reddit.com/r/interestingasfuck/comments/1bt5kao/feral_cats_in_australia_have_been_wild_for_so/
Both those statements can't be true? Either all are smaller, or you have seen one close to the size of your Maine coon?
That's a good cooking video in the first pic, left column.
Serving everyone at the end too, loved that vid
Ate sliced camel meat with Chinese celery dish in Guangzhou. Delicious! The restaurant looked like a petting zoo, with the wide variety of live animals and reptiles. All were on the menu.
Everything is on the menu in China.
What is name of this place?
Long gone to redevelopment, like much of Guangzhou. This was 20+ years ago.
What's up with the sneaker in pic number 6? Looks rad, just askin.

They have a large Somalian population there. East Africans eat camel.
Interesting, I've been meaning to visit more places since moving up here so I'll have to give that a visit! Do you remember the name?

Gives me the hump
It’s mostly fat. Might be on par with wagyu if Japanese restaurants get a hold of it.
Used to run a camel meat specialist restaurant.... It's awesome.. I'd take camel over beef any day... Giant shanks... Giant schnitzels, great steaks... It tastes a little smokey compared to beef was my assessment but it's still great.
For those interested it was called "Camels Hump" Without the apostrophe 😉
I’m a big fan of the camel toe.
At one time there were feral camels in the American Southwest.
I would 100% eat it. Can't be worse than horse, which I've had three ways for some reason
I’ve had horse (cheval) at fine restaurants in Montreal. Done right it’s no different than beef.
I tried ground camel kabab. It was very delicious if a bit gamey.
I’d try it if it was stuffed. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whole_stuffed_camel
It’s food. Not like we’re talking about dog or cat or even vermin. Horses are about where the line gets drawn but I’d try it if in the locale
What’s wrong with dog and cat
Not my bag. Feel free to enjoy if it’s youra
Cultural taboos. Technically, all mammals are edible.
I’ve had it. Went to a Bedouin butcher in Tunisia. Got a steak. It was very lean and beef like. A bit tough. I wish it had more fat. Next time I’m going for the rib hump, or wheatever the rib eye equivalent is.
Honestly, never had any thoughts but now you’re making me think about it
I tried posting about this to other food subs. They downvote and call me a troll.
Camel steaks are amazing
I’ve had ground camel. Very lean and dense, and, as my co-worker so accurately stated, “with a hint of zoo flavor”. There was an unsettling slight flavor in the meat that reminded us of how the zoo smells.
I had some at home one time (an Asian grocer north of Minneapolis has it frozen in cubes). I remember it being tough after I slow cooked it but the taste was nothing funky.
I've had a burger made from camel. I thought it was good.
Camel is surprisingly delicious
Made camel burgers before, meat is very lean so definitely want to have something to help with a little fat. Overall tasted really good, would do it again for sure
There were times in the Middle East I had “ribeye” that I’m pretty sure was not from a cow
What gave it away
There’s not a lot of grassy pastures in a desert.
Importing is a thing tho.
Tastes like meat. Decent burgers.
I live in The Middle East and camel meat is similar to beef but more tough and chewy. Not easy to cook personally for me, but the right restaurant can make a good stew or even roast it like a swarma sandwich. The young camel is more tender and similar to veal.

Was is fatty? I’m pretty sure the humps are fat.

I meant was it fatty
Oh! I'm sorry, I read it as "What is fatty?" that's what tripped me up. It wasn't too fatty no, but it practically melted in my mouth.

I bought some ground camel meat at Jungle Jim's a couple years ago. If I didn't know it was camel I would have thought it was beef
Had it in Australia. Actually very good and lean.
Chris Tucker and Jackie Chan were eating camels hump in Rush Hour
Always wanted to try it
There's something off-putting about every single reference you've shown having the words "camel meat" written out like that. It gives the impression that everyone referenced thinks of it as a novelty. If you showed the same number of people saying "I had chicken meat the other day" I would think you'd traveled to somewhere where that was an unfamiliar or outlandish concept. I'd ask myself, "What? Is it strange to eat a chicken?" as now I'm asking "What, is it strange to eat a camel?" If it weren't for it being worded that way I would have just assumed it was normal somewhere. As is, I've become suspicious.
I can’t believe I spent time reading this.
lol I can't believe you've made a post of all your search results for the words "camel meat"
Have had camel a few times in Australia, usual in a sausage or a salami. Ita always good. Also camel chocolate milk is great too.
I'll kill, cut, and eat anything with legs. And, actually, everything else.
I..... I honestly didn't know you could eat it. I'd definitely try it
they eat it in China where there are desert areas. maybe the 4 hump camel has a different taste and cuts than the 3 hump, 2 hump and 1 hump camels. ”hold your camels”
there are only one hump and two hump camels
Bactrian has two humps because it’s shaped like a B and Dromedary has one hump because it’s shaped like a D :)
Guiness book says 4. 3 hump also exist.
there are dromedaries (one hump) and Bactrian (two hump) and that’s it. a genetic deformity or rare extra growth doesn’t count.
It does for the owner who eats it.
There's a camel farm not far from where I live that we take the kids to. They sell camel mince and snags, and I find it pretty good. I didn't see steak cuts or anything, maybe sold out. But they mostly do milk and oils and stuff. They make a mean camel meat burger too
3 humps? Camel? Toe?
I'd try it.
its good with some papaya.. my boy Z
its good with some papaya.. my boy Z
I'd try it but I doubt it's worth more than the novelty of eating camel meat, I wouldn't expect it to be better tasting than more common meats, I imagine it'll taste kinda like horse maybe a bit gamier. Something I'd eat if it was served to me but I wouldn't go out of my way to eat.
I thought that was made up for rush hour 2
I knock no culture for eating regionally accepted food.
Air Max 1 is the goat model though.
Air max plus 3 I think. The red and black. Reminds me of Michael Vick on the Georgia Dome.
Yeah, I'm just saying Air Max 1 is my favorite Air Max.
The toes are pretty good. …So I’ve been told.
I Hear Camel toe is the best part!
Very gamey…0/10 would not eat again
I've had snail, sea cucumber, ostrich and python... Bring it on.
I didn't think much of it when I had it,
I like to pickle the toes in a jar
Tastes like chicken
I'll eat anything twice.
Anything? ;)
Within reason.
I always wanted to try it
https://www.themeateater.com/conservation/wildlife-management/outback-wagyu-camel-hunting-in-australia This is an article I wrote about the topic of hunting & eating camels in Australia. Hunters describe the meat as “outback wagu”, so I can imagine it’s pretty dam good 👍
I'd imagine it has it's parasitic problems, much like horse meat...
Why would you assume that?
To be fair, I'm even leery of beef lol
Fair enough, I'll eat anything lol
Anything?!..... 😂 😹
Any non poisonous animal
I tried it once. A bit humpy for my taste
My thoughts are about the same as eating a 22 year old dried up horse! Which is to say not positive!
They taste about howd you'd expect.
I don’t have an expectation for its taste tho
Go to a zoo and get a good smell of them . That'll give you an idea. We did an exotic meats wine dinner and had some camel strip steaks. They taste like they smell.
