This is not a joke, this is an actual recipe. This is a genuine Bedouin recipe translated into English. Who knows, next time you want to have a "different" type of barbeque, why not go for it?

½ day 2 hours prep
1 whole camel, medium size
1 whole lamb, large size
20 whole chickens, medium size
60 eggs
12 kg rice
2 kg pine nuts

There are far too many running gears in this recipe for me. And how do you dispose of the hump? Yeah, I'll stick with the rice and nuts. Can't run into a blood vessel that way. EEeewww.
ReplyDeleteThis is like turducken on crack.
ReplyDeleteOf course, my husband has actually cooked turducken: a chicken stuffed inside a duck stuffed inside a turkey.
It was delicious. But camel? I don't think I'll ever be able to get over THAT hump.
*snort*
Well, if you've successfully managed to get 100 people along to a Barbeque I think you should have the mettle to pull off this recipe.
