I would have thought the Carnivore Restaurant in Nairobi would have had it on the menu, but they don’t seem to offer it. I tried to go to the Carnivore the last time I was in Kenya, but I couldn’t get a reservation.
To answer the OP: certainly. I’ve had kangaroo, whale (many years ago), kudu, peccary, alligator, turtle, guinea pig, muskrat, squirrel, Polynesian rat, paca, curassow, guan, grasshoppers, caterpillars, sea urchins, and jellyfish. Hippo’s got to be a lot better than a lot of those.
Joke:
A man goes to a restaurant that makes the claim: “We serve anything! If we can’t serve you what you order, we’ll pay you $100!”
The man says to the waiter: “I want an elephant ear sandwich on a Kaiser roll!”
The waiter goes away, and comes back after 15 minutes. He says, “I’m sorry, we can’t fill your order. You win the $100.”
He says, “Aha! I knew you’ld never have elephant ears!”
The waiter says, “Oh, no! We have the elephant ears, we’re just out of those really big Kaiser rolls.”
