Now you know why Christian kids are so anxious to be counted with the sheep not the goats at the Last Judgment! 
If they don’t offer penguin, I’m not impressed.
God I love the Dope!
$32??? The last ones I had put out so I could off the little buggers cost me $9 per and that included the cleaning. Someone’s getting ripped off.
Explaining it is easy: cool way to freak your friends at dinner. Ages ago the Officers Club at Fort Bragg would have something like this (at least one offering) every Sunday buffet. I got a buddy now who will sometimes get yak or candied grasshoppers for special occasions. It was never something that interested me but I don’t see a problem with it as long as they avoid the endangered species.
What can possibly be wrong with the enjoyhorses website?
Oh.
The classical recipe involves oven roasting. I understand it works better if you own a gingerbread house.
Years ago in Vegas there was a steakhouse-like place which specialized in exotic game. I don’t recall the name. They offered lots of unusual critters.
I’ve had Lion there. Tastes about like venison. And it’s kinda tough, despite having been pounded pretty good back in the kitchen. Alligator is better as little McNuggets than it is as a steak.
DON’T TRY THIS! I had a really mean old aunt who tried this and ended up in the oven herself and the damn kids even ate part of her house! It’s a long story.
It just wouldn’t be complete unless they brought back ManBeef.

That is ridiculously fucking expensive for an antelope steak. Compare the priceshere. Even those are a little spendy to me, but then I usually get my antelope for the price of a bottle of wine (and that’s < $10, folks).
Lions aren’t farmed for their meat, AFAIK, so you’re mostly going to get them when they’re hunted. Also, those aren’t common antelope. So with the associated rarity, price goes up. Bontebok, for instance, are very, very rare.
Also, Eland are huge - a lot bigger than deer, for ex. That’s a lot of meat.
The bontebok is the rarest antelope in the world. It is protected in South Africa. You are not going to be allowed to hunt it, believe me.
I may have missed something, but it looks to me like they have a supply of Bontebok, raised on a US reserve.
And it’s on sale, down from $119,999.99 (and why does that penny off help the guy w/ so much disposable income he’s just looking to buy the most exotic meat he can?).
To the OP: the simplest explanation is that we all want to be special. One way to be special is to experience something no one else has or can. For some that might mean climbing K2. For others, eating something no one else can afford. If peanut butter were unavailable to the polloi, it would sell for as much as that one guy’s wallet says he can spend on making himself special. It is not the intrinsic terrific-ness of the wine or meat or roe.
Maybe they ran some coupons in the Sunday paper.

Just saw a Louis Theroux special on the canned hunt business in South Africa. To my surprise, the guys there did indeed have penned-up, home-bred lions waiting for their daily meat quota (and the eventual high-price rifle shot) behind a tall wire fence. You get better trophies from these compared to skinny and scarred wild lions, as the entrepreneur explained.
Wow, Pastor Beltz sure has exotic tastes. And a product endorsement subsidy. Wonder what he dishes out for his Sunday sermon.
It looks like he’s involved with the Christian Outdoorsmen of Humbolt County; they have an annual “Wild Game Dinner”.
The law’s been changed to make canned hunting illegal. We weren’t very pleased about it locally, either.
With his krazy church dinners, it sounds like he might also be involve with a certain other product associated with Humboldt County. I mean, nothing cures a case of the munchies like a whole roasted lion.

These guys do have a sense of humor about them.
Google “Albert Fish” for all the various recipes.
