Interesting things I've eaten so far



Kudu: some sort of antelope-like thing. Tastes like venison.
Lot’s of steak: that’s not really interesting, but there sure is a lot of it here.
Vegetables”: when you see this on the menu – be sure to ask what you’re getting. In most cases, unidentified vegetables turn out to be creamed spinach, and mashed squash. Not bad. But not exactly what you’d expect.
Pap: a fairly tasteless grits-like concoction. You can get it with just about anything.
Muesli: again, not interesting – but don’t use the word ‘granola’ – they have no idea what you mean.
Biltong: In Canada we have jerkey. In South America, they have charkey. In SA - biltong.
Monkeygland sauce: no idea what it’s meant to be, and hopefully it’s not made of what it says it’s made of. Kind of tastes like spicy sweet and sour sauce. I dipped steak in it. Not really sure why.

Dude - monkeygland sauce? You are a braver woman than I. Even if it isn't what it says, the name would've been too much for me!

I gotta say I'm with Jenn on this one. Chances are it's made from exactly what it says. What you failed to mention was whether or not you liked it. "Kinda tastes like spice sweeet and sour sauce???? Dudette, what were you thinking??????
