  First we had camel chocolate. Now, camel burgers. Why not? Camel is a lean and healthy meat, and properly tenderized it might make a delicious burger! So where can you get one?

  I was lucky enough to spend the holidays being served outrageous quantities of Mexican food by Mexican cooks. And although I didn’t get much by way of recipes, I do have a bunch of photos to share. Watch this space!
