More changes in Saudi Arabia
Via the Arab News:
ALKHOBAR, 5 April 2005 — Saudi Arabia is famous for camels but camel meat is fast becoming a rarity.
“We sell about 25 kilos of camel meat per day, compared to 200 kilos of other red meat. The older generation of Saudis like camel meat and they are the only customers now. The younger generation doesn’t care much for it and prefers chicken and burgers,” a Pakistani butcher explained.
“There is a lot of incorrect information associated with camels,” said an Indian butcher from Hyderabad. “When I came to the Kingdom, I found that the animals are not difficult to slaughter and that the meat is often tender and good-tasting. The truth is that you cannot make a really good curry with camel meat but you can make good kababs and shawarmas.”
