Jack,

We've been talking about just this subject over on rec.food.cooking.
There is no way a broiler is going to cook the inside of stuffed
anything. You're going to get burnt on the outside and raw on the
inside. Go back to cooking school. Besides, everyone knows that camels
are best braised or stewed. And where are the spices? No cumin,
coriander, dates, rose water, or saffron?

Stuffed Camel

1 whole camel, medium size
1 whole lamb, large size
20 whole chickens, medium size
60 eggs
12 kilos rice
2 kilos pine nuts
2 kilos almonds
1 kilo pistachio nuts
110 gallons water
5 pounds black pepper
Salt to taste

Skin, trim and clean camel (once you get over the hump), lamb and
chicken. Boil until tender. Cook rice until fluffy. Fry nuts until
brown and mix with rice. Hard boil eggs and peel. Stuff cooked
chickens with hard boiled eggs and rice. Stuff the cooked lamb with
stuffed chickens. Add more rice. Stuff the camel with the stuffed lamb
and add rest of rice. Broil over large charcoal pit until brown.
Spread any remaining rice on large tray and place camel on top of
rice. Decorate with boiled eggs and nuts. Serves friendly crowd of
80-100.

Who are you accusing of working for the government? I've done a number
of things I'm ashamed of in my lifetime, but that's not one of them.

My name is Leah, and I've worked for the government.

I was in the Navy, plus I worked in two government-funded projects (a battered
women shelter and FEMA).

It has been 15 years since my last government work.

Jack's recipe mentioned that all the carcasses should be poached
prior to stuffing them all together.

Personally, I'd skip the precooking stage and dig a large pit in
the closest sand dune, build a good fire, reduce to charcoal,
throw in the stuffed camel, cover with wet palm leaves, bury it
all, forget about it forever, and go to Swiss Chalet (do y'all
have Swiss Chalet in the States?).

No, I thought they were all in Switzerland.

Well, you *seem* qualified.

You've certainly got that "snail's pace" thing down pretty good.


Here I am STILL waiting for you to decorate some fabric and send it to
me, and you're complaining about MY pace? Oh the irony!

Splorf.

Perfect. Just forwarded this to a friend of mine who's a caterer who's
doing a dinner for 190 people in the near future.

You're going to have a really long wait, because you know
full well that I *long* ago awarded my proxy to Beth and
her...um...cats.

So the only complaining you should be doing is to:

1. Beth.

2. Beth's cats.


Yet one can't help noticing that the only one complaining about how fast
I'm going is the one who didn't contribute. Maybe I should rip out the
block with your name on it.
