Where does one find a pot big enough to boil a camel?

[venta.livejournal.com]

Read again, it says "broil" not "boil" :)

[narenek.livejournal.com]

Erm...

Skin, trim and clean camel (once you get over the hump), lamb and chicken. Boil until tender...

and later.

Broil over large charcoal pit until brown.

I'm guessing you cook the meat first to make sure it gets done right the way through, then broil it for colour.

(in the right place now).

[venta.livejournal.com]

Oops, sorry, you're right.

Maybe you boil the lamb and chickens then broil the camel ?

Either way, the answer is Denby Dale, probably.

(Denby being a place in Yorkshire which holds the world record for the biggest pie - some of their pie dishes are impressive.)

5 pounds black pepper

Can we get leathellin and metame to bring one back with them?

And I think I'm more scared by the link to the Australian Association...

[venta.livejournal.com]

Nah, lots of camels in Australia. Or so my boss tells me. They imported them.

[wechsler.livejournal.com]

I thought they floated there on driftwood?

[venta.livejournal.com]

That's convicts you're thinking of.

floated there on driftwood

[thegreenman.livejournal.com]

Surely a camel would float anyway?

Someone - can't remember who - was telling me recently that camel was actually rather nice to eat. Hmm. timsmith, maybe ? Not sure.

Hmm... I tried it once, and found it tasteless and stringy, but that was the Australian variety - maybe the African ones taste better.

Re: More popular than it ought to be:

[onebyone.livejournal.com]

I thought that was elephants.

Re: More popular than it ought to be:

[leathellin.livejournal.com]

metame had some in Tunisia and said it was lovely.
I'm not sure a camel would fit in our luggage allowance though.

Re: More popular than it ought to be:

[onebyone.livejournal.com]

Couldn't it help carry the luggage, though?

[beckyc.livejournal.com]

Wow! I'm vegetarian and still I agree with you!

[nisaba.livejournal.com]

I love camels, couldn't eat a whole one...

[bateleur.livejournal.com]

I love camels

Save that for Jerry Springer, eh ?

[stompyboots.livejournal.com]

My oven's not big enough. :(

[onebyone.livejournal.com]

That's why you need a large charcoal pit. Which apparently can be acquired in Denby Dale, unless I've got confused somewhere along the line.

[venta.livejournal.com]

No no no. The pot large enough to boil a camel in can be acquired there.

A large charcoal pit can be acquired practically anywhere with sufficient will and digging equipment. And charcoal.

Perhaps your local trap for heffalumps, when devoid of bears or even heffalumps, could be fashioned into a suitable charcoal pit.

Denby Dale's well known for charcoal pits. They're a part of its rich, Arabic cultural heritage. Or something.

I really hope you wrote that recipe down, because the link is now giving a 404.
