I had my first encounter with a camel...and it was delicious?

Camels are right at the top of my bucket list of things to do/see in the UAE. On our first day here we actually saw some frolicking in a dessert pasture on along Sheikh Zaed road (an 8-10 lane highway that run from downtown Dubai to Abu Dhabi). Since than we have not seen any with the exception of the camel burgers and camel milkshakes that we ate the Local House in Dubai! Thats right...burgers made from camel meat and milkshakes made with camel milk. Burgers were good...a little gamey tasting and had about 4 pound of mayo on them, like everything else in the UAE...my goodness they like mayo here! Will said that the taste is similar to deer, but since I've never had deer, I wouldn't know. The when we asked the waitress if the camel milkshakes were good, she mentioned they were salty. While we were drinking them, we didn't notice it at all...but an hour later were were both dying of thirst...we assume from drinking the salty camel milkshakes. All in all, eating camel was a fun experience but it was nothing so great that I would run out to do every Friday night.
