African Calamari

[Surgeon1]

Have any of you experienced "African Calamari" after a successful buffalo hunt?

I hesitant to ask, but what is “African Calamari”? I have a feeling it’s NOT squid.

 

[Tally-Ho HUNTING SAFARIS]

many ways to prepare it and its not that bad, its tradition at Tallyho in SA for a new hunter if first animal is male to eat a slice of it raw, if first animal is female than a slice of raw liver. but we dont make it unpleasant its just a tradition, right of passage. others may do it differently

we can also prepare the african calamari for all to try if they choose, crumbed and eep fried its actually pretty good.

No, it is not SQUID. Most sausage in Africa is not made with vegetable casing. This is just another way of using the animal casing material! Material is very carefully washed and often vinegar rinsed, then either battered and deep fried (my favorite) or cut into rings and cooked over the campfire on a stick until crispy (don't trim the fat attached to the "casing). Tartar sauce (made in some areas with fresh horse radish & ketchup) or hot sauce makes a perfect appetizer!

Having traveled most of the world I've learned some of the best food is that where you leave your
"westernized" tastebuds home!
Remember in Africa like much of the rest of the world, not much goes to waste!

The current “normal” westernized diet is pretty bland. People here say wild meat tastes “gamey”. I think domestic meat is nearly flavorless.

I haven’t had it, but would certainly give it a try.
