carnivores
Dallas and I don't eat much meat, and we haven't eaten beef or lamb for years. but when you go to a country like South Africa, all the gloves are off... the meats there are so much better than what you can get in Taiwan.
In addition to this, you can get wild game. and I mean WILD..
We went to a restaurant called carnivores, where we just ate and ate and ate... I took a shot of only part of the menu. As you can see, there are things such as giraffe on the menu.
Surprisingly... giraffe was our favorite meat.
What is also interesting about this restaurant is that your food is eaten off of iron plates. Servers will come to your table with a skewer of meat, and a machete. They ask you if you'd like some meat ( crocodile, impala,...) and then they place the skewer on your plate, and hack off a piece..
The food comes fast, and soon you have about 6 pieces of meat on your plate, and you kind of forget what animal each one is.
There are sauces which compliment each type of meat as well.
After the meal, I tried hard, but could not stay awake in the car on the ride home. Then, at night, had trouble sleeping. Was sweating through the night. I could feel the energy flowing in my body from the richness of the meats. Body was definitely not used to this.
However, this was one of the coolest meals we had. Definitely felt like this is Africa.
Although, to be honest, not alot of people eat exotic wild game. And you cannot get it at all supermarkets, but specialty butchers.~ just want to clear that up, so as not to stereotype all SA people.
