Camel Meat Mission

I am a bit sad about the news that they have to cull Camels in the outback because they are damaging our environment and I am wondering if there is anyway in which I can help to make the camel situation a bit better.

Low in fat and cholesterol and high in protein Camel Meat is a great option for people that wish to eat more red meat but have dietary problems like high cholestrol and diabetes. Camel meat has a similar flavour and consistency to beef and also comes in similar cuts such as scotch fillet, tenderloin and rump.

Camel is good, grilled, roasted, baked or even use the neck to make soup. Camel Sausages are now sold in Australia and I will try to put together a list of butchers that sell Camel.

Yarra Valley Game Meat is the first that comes to mind and I will check out my butcher at the Vic Market and see if I can get him to start selling it. Check out these websites http://www.gamemeats.com.au/other.html and also get onto these guys in Kensignton, Melbourne as it looks as though they sell just about every other meat http://www.wangaragame.com.au/aboutus.html.

I will post recipes as soon as I get my hands on some camel. I am even going to see what it tastes like minced in Bolognaise!

So everybody let's try not to let these Camels die in vain.

Please post recipe suggestions and camel meat providers below.
