So then, a review of the weeks culinary escapades
Saturday: Zebra steak with cracked black peppers, sea salt and pink pink peppercorns. Served with swwet potato wedges, onion rings and garlic mushrooms.
Monday: Ostrich is spicy chilli stir fry.
Tuesday: Camel and chips.
Wednesday: Crocodile cooked with soy sauce, sticky rice and miso.
Thursday: cajun style Kangaroo with sweet potato wedges.
Friday: Wildebeest, wedges, onion rings, garlic mushrooms.
All in all and interesting experiment. The various meats ranged from the rather fucking tasty to the fairly meh, but only the camel didn't really impress. The crocodile I admit could have come out better, but I couldn't just slap EVERYTHING in the grill with a bit of spice now could I? Kangaroo and Ostrich were rather good, as were the Zebra and Wildebeest. All in all I guess it does depend on your culinary skills, something I personally lack. But I didn't manage to make any of it inedible. Which, considering the prices, was something of a relief.
The question I suppose is would I do it again? The answer is probably yes. There are, after all, far more animals that I haven't eaten than I have, and it's good to try new things. It's not something I'd do often however, as whilst variety may be the spice of life it is also the scourge of the wallet. In all honesty you get do it with a decent bit of conventional meat, but where's the fun in that?
Part of the attraction for this kind of thing is simply being able to say you've done it. And I have.
Lucky fucking me, eh?
