A lovely get together last night at a local restaurant for Dots hen do.
A very interesting meal as it’s a South African based venue called The Mad Hunter if anyone fancies looking.
You can eat zebra, crocodile, camel, buffalo or kangaroo!
Generally we kept to more usual dishes, I had crispy chicken but two plumped for the exotic steak…..turned out it was Zebra! I had a little taste & it was a sort of cross between pork & chicken.
We were more adventurous with the starters & a little tasters of delicious platters.
We had fun & it was an experience…it’s very popular with every table full.
Dot is second from the back on the right & Nikki, Charlie’s mum second from the front on the right in the blue.
We have Connie here. She is staying over for the first time!
That sounds fascinating and like a great time with friends. Part of me instinctively rebels at the idea of eating anything horse related, but before I spoke enough Chinese, I ate a lot of the roast beef by our college, that further understanding showed me was donkey.
@pandorasecho Well I agree with you…not really a comfortable thought to eat such animals… not even considering the air miles point…are such animals bred for consumption even? A whole lot I don’t know about there! Is it any different from eating beef, just that we aren’t used to it!
@julzmaioro She & Paul started seeing each other in the January before Charlie got ill, he has been so supportive these last few years. I’m so pleased for her.
What an interesting place. I have tried kangaroo and not too keen on it and also had crocodile, that is quite nice. Snake is quite nice too but that wasn't on your menu. I had a look at the menu for this restaurant and I think I would have had the gammon. I loved gammon when we lived in the UK but it is a cut we don't have here in Australia. Haven't had gammon for over 32 years.
@louannwarren@kwind@samae@bkbinthecity@joansmor@denful@carolmw@beryl Thank you all, it was a very interesting evening & we all enjoyed the varied dishes….the starters were little tastes of completely different dishes! Quite right Beryl, a good way of trying small tasters!
@onewing Wow that’s interesting Babs…first time I heard you could eat all those things, well in this day & age I mean but I shouldn’t be surprised…we eat much more adventurously now.
Wish Dot well .. ❤️
