        1. He wouldn’t feel a thing, as in I wouldn’t eat him alive!

          Everything has feelings, animals, plants, rocks. I’m not vegan or vegetarian. I believe what ever we sacrifice for consumption we should sacrifice with respect!

          4. Well, I was obviously not referring to the pain he’d feel while being already dead but to his being slaughtered. It’s a very long conversation and not the place, so I’ll just agree with the last part of your comment “…with respect”!

  4. A Lebanese engineer friend told me about a marriage feast he attended in Saudi Arabia where roasted camel was featured. I know. That’s not funny, but it’s a thing I was unaware people might do to the camel besides mount them. Hee ! Hee! On their backs, not, um, you know!

  5. LAUGHING!
    I didn’t know what it was when I ate it.

    But I see your point, the horror! I saw a grilling video the other day and thought to myself, “this whole animal is too big to be a sheep or even a cow.” It was a whole horse. So now I feel your horror when I said I had camel meat.

          2. Did you watch this video to the end? She serves her guests Camel meat. And you’re promoting it? on hump day?

      2. Every so often at the school my sister and I attended in France, they served horse meat for lunch. On those days, my sister and I would sneak out and go to an epicerie to find something less…. disturbing.

  9. Am I really the only one who doesn’t find this video cheap publicity for Dubai? I’ve seen this before (a long time ago) and I found it disturbing then.
    I DO believe that camel meat tastes amazing, the way it’s cooked, as is (and yes, hold on to your reigns!) horse meat – I also love Vegetarian cooking, salads, berries, fish, but as soon as anything becomes a ‘story of beliefs, rights and wrongs’, leaving aside the cultural and regional customs, it’s (/to me) a fake and misguiding story. There – I’m probably getting banned now – am I?! 😉
    PS: Were invited several times to African feasts, with grilled/cooked/broiled little beasts, grub, dubious creatures, parts of animals/sneaking/flying/crawling…. that’s when I couldn’t eat! I think camel, in comparison, would taste fantastic. I’m still teased several times per year by Kongolese friends about my refusing to eat their worms. Crickets however, grilled, mmmh.

  11. I noticed Camel milk soap at the store before…I opted to purchase Goat Milk soap… for me I just couldn’t bring myself to let someone profit off of Caleb’s relatives…I’ve become attached to his kind…
