RE: Curried Lamb Chops (Requested by Steemian @cecicastor) - A BraaiBoy TV Recipe
Hey @kismet2018,
Thanks for the love! Yeah, I was blisfully cruising along doing my own thing, when someone randomly requested I try something for them. I started working it into my videos and blog content... and now I'm thinking I'm going to have to do a whole series JUST on other people's requests... I LOVE when things like that happen organically.
Re "most exotic": Well... I'm part of the team that holds the record for the most species braaied at once (we did 60 different species from Angel fish to Zebra and everything in between). The only thing I haven't braaied is ice-cream :P
It's always a pleasure to meet a fellow "foodie" (I hate that word because I have no formal training, so it feels a little fraudulent :P) ...anyway... thanks again for popping in!
Good Luck on your Steemit adventure as well, I've followed you too... it seems you have a great eye for good content ;-)
Whatttt????? Braaied ZEBRA???
By the way I had to look up "braaied", my friend! Translation on this side of the Atlantic is "BBQ"! So glad I checked! Could have sent you Mom's 4-ingredient, home-made, no machine ice cream recipe - just saying - hehe
Back to the BBQ Zebra. Technically, a person could BBQ anything! The thing of EATING it becomes another thing! Depends on if your video was on the Food Channel or National Geographic, huh?
I mentioned I was a carnivore but my exotic tolerance does not extend to zebra, I don't think. Although anything with habanero-heat hot sauce, is DELICIOSO! What does zebra taste like? Were you able to eat everything your record-holding team cooked? You really must do a blog on the 60 species, from Angel Fish to Zebra! That would be very interesting for sure!
Thank you for taking the time to reply! I will check more of your posts, I welcome you to do the same. I'm not a pro at anything and I am very inept on Steemit, but I am having a blast! Cheers!
Well technically Braai is closer to "grilling"... whereas BBQ generally refers to the "low and slow" smoking (usually brisket, pork shoulder, ribs etc)... but yes... if you can eat it I suppose you can grill and/or BBQ it :-)
Re the Zebra: I've actually never tasted horse myself before, but people who have say it's similar in taste to that. It has a slightly "sweet" taste to it... if you like game meat then you shouldn't have a problem with Zebra at all.
Re the blog: Great idea... I've probably got the news article still somewhere (it was about 4 years ago that we did it), and I should have a couple of pictures in the archive as well. We often do game and other wild animals on the grill here at home (especially in the bushveld), so the species themselves weren't as impressive as the fact that we did them all at the same time.
P.S. Before I freak you out, most of us city-dwellers stick to the regular beef, pork, lamb & chicken variety, and you'll be hard-pressed to find too much else in our regular retail outlets. OK... maybe Kudu (antelope) and Ostrich are also popular. :P
Thank YOU for taking the time to chat as well... I'll definitely be checking more of your posts... it's always great when an actual human is on the other end of the conversation instead of some damn bot :-)
Haha ... I am a real human alright! Sometimes we can rob ourselves of experiencing the real humanness in ourselves and others! What a shame though! That's where the good, real, honest "stuff" is!
Thanks for clarifying the difference between braai and BBQ. It all sounds irresistibly delicious! Thank you for describing the other meat experiences.
If you ever post about your award-winning adventure of cooking 60 species at once, let me know! I look forward to it! Cheers!
As if you need formal training. You are a master savant!
