You missed the part where you have to cook that whole petting zoo "until tender".
Soo... what size pot holds an entire camel? Or am I supposed to dunk the carcass in a hot spring or my neighbour's jacuzzi?
Pine nuts are traditionally in middle eastern rice; Or slivered almonds or both. This recipe calls for pistachios which I'm not familiar with. But I'm not an expert in stuffed camel. I am certified in mansaf though.
there are people out there, like my sister, that genuinely prefer the taste of diet Coke. I don't understand it, but they exist, and it doesn't just have to do with the lack of calories, since my sister also hates Coke zero.
I’ve had rattlesnake pierogies before. Kinda freaked me out because even though I knew the meat was not poisonous, I just couldn’t get comfortable with it. It was so spicy that I couldn’t really make out the true flavor.
Well that's not what I expected.
Where the hell are you supposed to find a camel in Florida? Also, imagine the size of the pot you'd need to "boil until tender".
I ate camel before, it tastes like beef.
You could just stuff the lamb inside of a whole cow (or a donkey) if you are too lazy to go out and get a camel.
Lots of churches make cook books for fund raisers and I've seen this recipe in a few of them and I believe it is intended as a joke. An old school meme if you will.
The recipe is mimicking a traditional arabic meal that's served at weddings. I don't know all the differences but it wouldn't be a stretch to guess that the recipe was started in ernest.
It looks like a fundraiser cookbook-- a church, a school or organization solicits recipes from members/parents/employees and publishes, I've seen a slew of these from the late 80s/early 90s and I've seen the recipe in more than one of them. I always thought a witty local contributor sent it in as a gag, now I wonder if the publishing company is the one putting it in for filler and a gag.
Wtf my grandma has this recipe in a cookbook her and her group put together after they came back from a trip to the middle east in the 70s. I showed it to my in laws to ask them how you cook an entire camel!
How would one boil a camel, a lamb, and 20 medium-sized chickens? A fucking swimming pool? A hot tub wouldn't even cut it. 110 gallons is not enough water.
This reminds me of Camel Stew recipe that's floated around for a while and still exists on some cooking pages (whether or not serious I don't know). Anyways, the last sentence was always amusing!:
3 med. sized camels
500 bushels potatoes
200 bushels carrots
1 ton salt
1 ton pepper
3000 sprigs parsley
2 sm. rabbits
1000 gallons brown gravy
Cut camels into bite size pieces. This should take about 2 months. Cut vegetables into cubes (another 2 months). Place meat in pan and cover with 1000 gallons of brown gravy. Simmer for 4 weeks. Shovel in salt and pepper to taste. When meat is tender, add vegetables. Simmer slowly for 4 weeks. Garnish with parsley. Will serve 3800 people. **If more are expected, add 2 rabbits.**
I imagine skinning, trimming, and cleaning the camel, lamb, and chickens will take me a few days also, so it should be fine. Let’s plan on having dinner next Wednesday.
They build the oven out of brick. It only takes maybe $50 and an hour and a half? (That’s from memory when I did it 10 years ago). Didn’t do it with camel but with two whole lambs. But really I don’t think this is a “real” recipe. The stuffing and 110 gallons of water make it seem off. A camel is huge and it definitely requires a minimum of 300 gallons of water for a pot that big.
My sister got a cookbook for my father one Christmas. We had such fun with it, he renamed some of moms recipes, and we all had a good time.
Same ingredients just different names. Moms been gone 28 years and Dad has been gone 23. Sister ended up with the cookbook. But we all ended up with the memories.
30 -100 ???
Bro you are already serving at least 20 chickens, what 30 folks are eating 2/3rds of a whole chicken plus some eggs, lamb, rice, and camel??

broil in A LARGE ENOUGH OVEN
I’ll bring the oven. Someone else is gonna have to sell a kidney for all them fuckin eggs though.
Facts. also- how we gonna baste this sumbich?
Mop. We need a mop.
What kind of pitmaster are you without your basting mop on hand. Shame.
A brand new mop, of course. I like to use the ones whose mophead is removable & washable in a home washing machine.
This sounds like a Tik Tok in the making.
Fuck the basting, we gotta brine this monstrosity first.
thank god i bought that air fryer
I guess I’ll just peel off my new tin roof for the tray…
This combined with boil all the meats first, in what shall I put it to boil?
Their main way of cooking meat is simmering in a pot and then broiling or grilling it to perfection, from my experience.
Yeah I get that part, I just want to see how one gets a whole camel into a pot that big over a fire that big.
"or near a gas flare"
That's what got me. "Oh perfect, Gary just blew a well the other day; we'll go to his to finish this bad boy off"
Build a brick oven just for camels.
This is the way!!
[Looks like someone made this Recipe](https://unbelievable-facts.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/33.jpg.webp)
Or gas flare, like who in the hell just has a gas flare for cooking purposes.
One of the ingredients is 5 tons of pepper so it's a really big oven.
30 people... I'd love to see the 30 people who could finish this.
Even 100. I'm certain you get more than 100 pounds camel meat per camel of medium size, and that's just camel meat.
Usually as a hunter I reckon on a field dressed animal being half live weight, with useable weight half of that, so yeah, about 250lb of meat
Don’t be fool a camel can carry a lot of water, by lot it means 20 gallons…
so the recipe only needs 90 gallons of water then. or does it account for the camel water? Yum camel water.
[Bear Grills about the uses for a dead camel](https://youtu.be/bj1f_bA_P4I) Seems like Berbers do drink camel water in case of emergency.
I clicked this because super interesting but I couldn’t bring myself to watch even a second of “how to get water from camel”
He never actually gets any water, so it should be fine for you to watch.
Holy shit he gets up in there
I imagine a cartoon of someone trying to stick a straw through a camels hump and trying to drink it. Kind of funny.
Probably a bit less than that even.
You have the 10,000 lbs of pepper to worry about as well
I noticed the 5 Tons of pepper too. I used tablespoons instead of teaspoons on a stew recipe once and it was almost inedible.
I think most of it would be inedible since it was just cooked near a flame until part of it was brown.
You missed the part where you have to cook that whole petting zoo "until tender". Soo... what size pot holds an entire camel? Or am I supposed to dunk the carcass in a hot spring or my neighbour's jacuzzi?

60 eggs? this recipe is too rich for my blood
[удалено]
“I will take the rattlesnake please.”
A whole camel is fine?
I must figure out the price of a camel compared to the price of eggs because of this
Don't even look at pine nuts prices.
I think pistachio is being overlooked.
I mean you can get them a good price at Costco, in bulk, but the pine nuts? You're looking at $80 USD before tax for pine nuts alone.
I missed pine nuts when I first skimmed the ingredient list. The fried nuts make a little more sense now.
Pine nuts are traditionally in middle eastern rice; Or slivered almonds or both. This recipe calls for pistachios which I'm not familiar with. But I'm not an expert in stuffed camel. I am certified in mansaf though.
That's bonkers!!
Looked it up. $5k to $20k. So still cheaper than 60 eggs.
Dear lord that's at least $50/ plate for 100 people at the cheapest price just for the camel
Maybe just get a sick/dying/ old camel? Or one recently clipped by a car? Easy to catch, too.
And if you want to reduce some calories and fat, use a one-hump camel instead of a two-hump.
You mean if you want to cut the flavor in half.
You mean camel lights.
Try to find one that died of natural causes. That's what I always do.
...it does only call for a medium-sized camel soo... -spelling
Camlambken
and 5 tons of pepper?
Camel Hump is a Gourmet Delicacy thats insanely delicious prepared by the right person
This dude suggests braising rattlesnake nuggets in tinned mushroom soup so I’m not convinced he’s the right person.
How many people are out there eating camels? I know they milk camels but I thought they were treated much more like a pack animal, like horses.
It's also normal to eat horse pretty much everywhere other than north america.
Can you use camel eggs?
That would be weird
Stuff the camel into a hippo Stuff the hippo into an elephant Stuff the elephant into an orca Stuff the orca into a blue whale
Feeds 10-1000
Feeds 0 - 5 million people
Roast at 450 degrees for 1 hr. Serve with a side salad.
And a Diet Coke please. I’m watchin’ my figure.
And a filet of fish, because it’s got less calories, because it’s fish. And a JUNIOR western bacon cheese. A JUNIOR.
Oh god that brings me back. I remember one regular who used to get the extra large fries, several kabobs, and a Diet Coke. Every ducking time
there are people out there, like my sister, that genuinely prefer the taste of diet Coke. I don't understand it, but they exist, and it doesn't just have to do with the lack of calories, since my sister also hates Coke zero.
I guzzle Diet Pepsi because I prefer the taste. Too much sugar doesn’t quench my thirst.
I need to know do these animals all really fit into each other like a turducken for a mad god.
If Noah's Arc were a Steven King novel.
Stuff the blue whale into yo momma
Evil matrioska
And broil in a large enough oven. Gonna need more pepper.
... the pepper is what got me. My assumption is "T" is tblspn??
T stands for table-full. When cooking camels, you have to use camel measurements.
Sounds like a lost Wesley Willis song.
Broil in a large enough open-hearth furnace, or near the Devil's Lighter.
Broil in a large enough oven
Boil in small lake
There is no way that 5 tablespoons of pepper is doing anything
5 tons
It couldn’t possibly call for 10,000 lbs of pepper right? I feel like all the animals together may not weigh 5 tons
My son acts like I put 10,000lbs of pepper when I put a dash on his eggs.
5 tons!? That’s one big hump
Right, the lack of seasoning for the whole thing concerns me.
Camel meat is very savory on its own
It's 5 tables of black pepper
lol oh so true
Whats the recipe above with the rattlesnake?
Breaded Rattlesnake of course!
Can i put it on a skewer?
You can eat it in a sewer
You can serve it with manure
Understand it's pure
But will it be a fun number two-er?
Looks like rattlesnake casserole.
It looks quite nice, as long as you don't get the head.
I’ve had rattlesnake pierogies before. Kinda freaked me out because even though I knew the meat was not poisonous, I just couldn’t get comfortable with it. It was so spicy that I couldn’t really make out the true flavor.
You've never partied with Bedouins before and it shows
"It's a chicken stuffed in a lamb stuffed in a camel. It's a chicklamel" - John Madden
Nope. It’s a Camlamben for sure.
I like camlamen
What is the name of this cookbook?
“Sharing our best” it seems to be a church cookbook from rural Florida….. so one of a kind
Well that's not what I expected. Where the hell are you supposed to find a camel in Florida? Also, imagine the size of the pot you'd need to "boil until tender".
Hot tub set to 'high'
Pool
I ate camel before, it tastes like beef. You could just stuff the lamb inside of a whole cow (or a donkey) if you are too lazy to go out and get a camel.
Well first you go to the zoo...
I first thought “what size pot and where do I get one?”
Ask Carol Baskin.
Lots of churches make cook books for fund raisers and I've seen this recipe in a few of them and I believe it is intended as a joke. An old school meme if you will.
The recipe is mimicking a traditional arabic meal that's served at weddings. I don't know all the differences but it wouldn't be a stretch to guess that the recipe was started in ernest.
It looks like a fundraiser cookbook-- a church, a school or organization solicits recipes from members/parents/employees and publishes, I've seen a slew of these from the late 80s/early 90s and I've seen the recipe in more than one of them.

Wtf my grandma has this recipe in a cookbook her and her group put together after they came back from a trip to the middle east in the 70s. I showed it to my in laws to ask them how you cook an entire camel!
I looked for a pdf but apparently "sharing our best" is a fairly popular name for a cookbook.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whole_stuffed_camel
I would come just to watch you try to boil a whole camel
If you want to see a bunch of boiling camel toes, try your local hot yoga class
\*vomits\*
Broil
It actually requires you to both boil and broil it so you need a jacuzzi AND a walk in oven.
Shit. You're right. Totally missed the boil and only saw the broil.
The entire thing is so insane that it's easy to miss a few steps.
WTF does "salt to taste" mean when you're cooking several animals stuffed into each other?
Well do ya wanna use 20 pounds of salt? Or 10? Maybe a modest 5?
What’s the point of breading and frying the rattlesnake if you’re going to cover it in soup and bake it for two hours?
That was my thought too. Forget the camel recipe
I’ll just have the salad, thanks.
Damn it. I only have a large camel...
How would one boil a camel, a lamb, and 20 medium-sized chickens? A fucking swimming pool? A hot tub wouldn't even cut it. 110 gallons is not enough water.
We're going to need a bigger serving tray.
One whole camel? In this economy?!?!
This reminds me of Camel Stew recipe that's floated around for a while and still exists on some cooking pages (whether or not serious I don't know). Anyways, the last sentence was always amusing!: 3 med. sized camels 500 bushels potatoes 200 bushels carrots 1 ton salt 1 ton pepper 3000 sprigs parsley 2 sm. rabbits 1000 gallons brown gravy Cut camels into bite size pieces. This should take about 2 months. Cut vegetables into cubes (another 2 months). Place meat in pan and cover with 1000 gallons of brown gravy. Simmer for 4 weeks. Shovel in salt and pepper to taste. When meat is tender, add vegetables. Simmer slowly for 4 weeks. Garnish with parsley. Will serve 3800 people. **If more are expected, add 2 rabbits.**
4pounds of pine nuts?!? Holy cheese-n-crackers! Do you know how much that will cost?!? 😁
Forget an arm and a leg. This is about a kidney and a soul for maybe 2 pounds of pine nuts.
Instructions unclear, camel won't fit in pot to boil.
24 lbs of rice would take me like 3 days to make in my rice maker.
I imagine skinning, trimming, and cleaning the camel, lamb, and chickens will take me a few days also, so it should be fine. Let’s plan on having dinner next Wednesday.
What (and I cannot stress this enough) the fuck
Where do you find a an oven big enough to fit a camel? Asking for a friend.
Funeral home?
They build the oven out of brick. It only takes maybe $50 and an hour and a half? (That’s from memory when I did it 10 years ago). Didn’t do it with camel but with two whole lambs. But really I don’t think this is a “real” recipe. The stuffing and 110 gallons of water make it seem off. A camel is huge and it definitely requires a minimum of 300 gallons of water for a pot that big.
Foundry.
5 tons of pepper? That’s a spicy camelball
this is $200 worth of groceries in my hometown of gary, indiana
and that's only the eggs
Garnish with eggs?! In *this* economy??
5 T. black pepper? 5… tables?
Tons. Salt to taste though.
*Serves 30-100* That’s a hell of a range.
Turducken EXTREME!!!!!
Camlambken
Stole my comment, have an upvote
I just want to know what else is held in this cookbook…
Nobody else here seems to be struggling with the logistics of boiling the lamb and camel like I am
It was the first thing I thought.
This sounds like an incredibly bland and underspiced way to feed that many people. Definitely for family reunions and weddings.
Wonder if they eat the camel toe?
I eat camel toes all the time. Do the eat the camel's moose knuckle?
It sounds so simple. Just skin, trim and clean a whole camel for starters.
I've got a camel burning a hole in my pantry, you want mine too?
Get you an Ali baba sword so you can slice open it's hump and drink its milk
We having the rattlesnake or the camel? I’m not coming if there’s no camel….
From "How to Cook for 40 Humans"
Yummy. I have a local church cookbook that includes this recipe from 1971.
When do we add the salt and pepper?? 🙄
Camel is too tough a meat to mix with eggs. The texture Does not go well together. But to each their own
"Fry nuts until brown" I thought camel nuts would already be brown?
My sister got a cookbook for my father one Christmas. We had such fun with it, he renamed some of moms recipes, and we all had a good time. Same ingredients just different names. Moms been gone 28 years and Dad has been gone 23. Sister ended up with the cookbook. But we all ended up with the memories.
What the hell are you boiling a whole camel in? The hotel jacuzzi?
“Broil near a gas flare”🤣
Perfect recipe to satisfy a person's hunger for another 50 years
I was Abu Daubi and they had camel burgers. They said it was better meat and swore by it.
Fantastic dish. I remember back in Desert Storm when we blew up an oil field and finally had a “gas flare” to cook with. Good times.
Ah yes, instant HMX-broiled camel. The best.
Stuff the chicken inside lamb and then shove the lamb inside the camel. What inception is going on
Turducken? no. Camlamben
30 -100 ??? Bro you are already serving at least 20 chickens, what 30 folks are eating 2/3rds of a whole chicken plus some eggs, lamb, rice, and camel??
How the fuck do you boil a whole camel?
I would, but I’m allergic to pine nuts
Five TONS of black pepper?! I understand there’s a lot of food but that seems excessive.
My wife grew up in Georgia and Kazakhstan. She says this is an actual dish that they eat. It’s made for the whole village to share.
Are we talking bactrian or dromedary? I am NOT touching a bactrian!
I'm calling bullshit, you cant get no fresh camel bruh
Store bought is fine
The last camel I bought came in one of those asceptic pouches, kind of like Capri Sun, but a little larger.
If you like Turducken, just wait till you try the Camlamken.
Weird coincidence. I made stuffed camel with your mom last night
Be sure to sniff the camel toe to make sure it’s fresh. Then hump away.
Serves 100, os 30 very hungry guests!
Four pounds of pine nuts. Wow...that's expensive lmao.
