there is a restaurant in nairobi called carnivore which became famous for cooking almost any animal (even the ones you see on safari!) and serving the meat to guests...crazy! you only live once, so we decided to check it out for lunch. nowadays carnivore has stopped serving the very "exotic" meats, but we did get to try ostrich meatballs and crocodile meat (along with excellent grilled beef, lamb, pork, chicken, and turkey). not surprisingly, i had no room for dinner that night. it was, by far, the most expensive single meal i have paid for in africa - about $30.
every table has a revolving sauce and salad bar, on top of which is a white flag.the meaning of the flag is quite simple - as long as it is still up...
...carvers will keep on bringing the meat!
until your plate becomes too crowded...
... and you have no choice but to surrender!(note: i was fairly pleased with my meat-management skills throughout the meal -
my plate was almost clean at the end!)

ha, Jonathan just pointed out to me that the menu had a vegetarian option on it...what would that be - mock ostrich meatballs? soy "chicken liver"? hehe :)
