Has anyone here eaten either camel, yak, llama, kangaroo, or ape?
What do these animals taste like?
Ape tastes like chicken. But it looks like a small baby as it fries, which is cool.
I had kangaroo a long time ago (at an Australian restaurant in Huntsville, AL, of all things/places). I don’t recall it being much different from beef, but I was younger, and perhaps my tastes weren’t as discerning.
I once asked a Muslim friend if he had ever accidentally eaten pork. He said yes, and it tastes like camel.
Come on guys, I know there are a bunch of us who have eaten camel toe. 
I’ve never eaten camel meat, but if I ever order it in a restaurant, I hope the waiter says “One hump or two?”
A lot like wombat.
You can buy kangaoo in the supermarkets here. It is good for bar-b-ques. It tastes very different from beef.
Sorry, I have only eaten camel in dishes like capsa, so pretty well like generic meat.
The wife has had alpaca and says that it is delicious. I don’t think garden variety llamas are eaten as standard fare although I’m sure someone has tried it.
The edible alpaca industry (along with exporting them as pets) reached enough of a pitch that the Peruvian government outlawed it a few years back, concerned that they were losing the nation’s valuable alpaca wool industry for the sake of a quicker buck in the slaughter and consumption of the animals.
Yak is very dense with a strong but not unpleasant flavour. It’s very filling.
Llama is absolutely wonderful & I keep toying with the idea of buying one from the livestock auction for slaughter. I found the texture and taste close to pork.
I’ve had kangaroo but it was in one of those ‘mongolian’ stir fry places and it was in small bits that mixed in with the rest of the meats. I can’t recall anything special about it.
I haven’t eaten camel meat, but just would like to add that my ex’s grandparents (may they rest in peace) used to get him and his sisters to eat veal by telling them it was camel meat.
Once again, Dopers demonstrate how provincial and racist they are. You have to get to know people outside of your safe spot.
Traditional Bedouin Wedding Feast:
You will need
1 medium camel.
1 medium North African goat.
1 spring lamb.
1 large chicken
100 eggs
450 cloves of garlic.
1 bail of fresh coriander.
1- Take the prepared chicken and stuff with the eggs, which should be hard boiled, and pad out with coriander.
2- Stuff the lamb with the chicken.
3- Stuff the goat with the lamb.
4- Stuff the camel with the goat. A pre-prepared camel is rather more convenient–don’t be afraid to ask your butcher. Spike with the garlic and brush with butter before cooking.
5- Spit roast over a charcoal fire in an arid desert area for best results.
Easy Recipe, Enjoy
No, no, you’ve got it all wrong. The chicken should be stuffed with a duck, the duck should be stuffed with fish, the fish should be stuffed with hamsters, the hamsters should be stuffed with tadpoles, and the tadpoles should be stuffed with fruit flies.
Dopers who have never met any Badū are racist?
I’ve never eaten camel, but my dad did, when we lived in Saudi Arabia. He said it tasted something like beef.
Nope, camel breath…
The TURKEY is stuffed with a duck, and the DUCK is stuffed with the chicken.
The fruti flies are stuffed in the apple which is stuffed in the mouth of the pig.
I’m just taking this opportunity to express how weird you are, not that that’s necessarily a bad thing 
I had kangaroo in jerky form–kinda like a Slim Jim. It was too heavily spiced for me to know what it tastes like exactly, but the jerky was damn good.
Oh, Dear Og.
You mean this as a metephor Don’t you?
Ewwww, That’s sick.
