george Posted February 10, 2010 Share Posted February 10, 2010 Dubai diners flock to eat new 'camel burger' (CNN) -- A new fast food sensation has hit the Emirates' culinary scene. Camel meat has, for centuries, been a feature of traditional nomad cooking. Now, it has been given a 21st century twist. Right now, Dubai diners can't seem to get enough of the "camel burger." "It's a sensation," Ramesh, restaurant manager at "Local House" the restaurant chain behind the burgers told CNN. "Everyone's bored of beef and chicken. So, as soon as the word got out, we had queues of customers eager to give it a try." More on: CNN 2010-02-10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bkkjames Posted February 10, 2010 Share Posted February 10, 2010 Seems someone forgot that this isnt' Dubai Visa. Anyways, I will help out. Camel burgers coming to LOS? Could be a big hit for Thais bored of Pork. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ballpoint Posted February 10, 2010 Share Posted February 10, 2010 Seems someone forgot that this isnt' Dubai Visa. I don't know about that. Dubai's most famous Thai resident certainly has the hump over his money being held, and is spitting mad about it. Now he's playing silly burgers with Thai lives. Fits in quite well with this forum.

senshusband Posted February 10, 2010 Share Posted February 10, 2010 Camel meat is quite good actually. I had the opportunity to eat a stew with camel meat and I enjoyed the taste. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zaphodbeeblebrox Posted February 10, 2010 Share Posted February 10, 2010 It might beat Thai beef. I've had ostrich and it's a little too lean for burgers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soutpeel Posted February 10, 2010 Share Posted February 10, 2010 It might beat Thai beef. I've had ostrich and it's a little too lean for burgers. Mix some pork fat or beef fat with it.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bkkjames Posted February 10, 2010 Share Posted February 10, 2010 did a google image search and apparently they taste good but make you sweat.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bkkjames Posted February 10, 2010 Share Posted February 10, 2010 Now now, I think the OP (aka the boss) posted it because of all the people getting loans in LOS to open up a 711, and perhaps this is just the tool / opportunity /disgusting animal we need to get us over the edge and go into debt with dreams of air con, din dong door bells in our heads. Personally speaking, I think I will open two 711s, across from one another so I can corner the market. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PattayaParent Posted February 10, 2010 Share Posted February 10, 2010 Camel meat is quite good actually. I had the opportunity to eat a stew with camel meat and I enjoyed the taste. Camel meat is tough and chewy so it has to be softened in a stew. To make the burger they probably have to boil the meat first then fry it.

Sounds even less appetising 'boiled then fried camel burger'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paddydubai Posted February 10, 2010 Share Posted February 10, 2010 It's slightly exaggerated. I happen to live about 200 yards from the Local House restaurant mentioned in the first post and go past it at least twice a day. Believe me, there ain't no queues outside.

Perhaps they might create a special 'Big Hump' burger, for those with a larger appetite, it might include extra flies ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MESmith Posted February 10, 2010 Share Posted February 10, 2010 Had a bbq camel steak in Yemen 25yrs ago, out in the desert at a bedu wedding. Very tender & very tasty . The other memory of the day was all the ak-47s being fired skyward, & me wondering where all that lead was headed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Camel meat is tough and chewy so it has to be softened in a stew. To make the burger they probably have to boil the meat first then fry it. nah...all they have to do is grind it up, burger style...I do the same with otherwise inedible thai beef for western cooking purposes...camel meat is available in most 'non-western' supermarkets in the Gulf area... wonder what a camel meat loaf tastes like...

bina Posted February 12, 2010 Share Posted February 12, 2010 i read thru the entire thread just to see tutsiwarriors post.... and there i am once again, laughing.. here, camel milk is very hard to get, but got soe from a beduin once, to drink.. its supposed to do great things to your health... i know that camel foot is a delicasy, asked husband if he would eat camel: he will eat all those issaan delicacies, but camel, no way...

Travel2003 Posted February 12, 2010 Share Posted February 12, 2010 The only sensation about this is the fact that people obviously didnt know that camels as with most other animals can be eaten. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
choppertony Posted February 12, 2010 Share Posted February 12, 2010 The wife sometimes gets the " Hump " over my drinking , maybe if I scoff plenty of these things then I may take on the Camels character and not need a drink for weeks ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
