Bad News for Giraffes: Endangered Species Declared Kosher!!!!!!!!!!
Colonel, do you have any good recipes and matching wine pairing suggestions?
I can't wait to find out how many people stuffed giraffe kishka can feed!?
;)

Eric, is there any chance you'll serve Giraffe instead of salmon at your BBQ during Seattle meet?

Not only that, she's a vet from South Africa.  Strokes are not known in giraffe's, but it's probably not something with a lot of clinical evidence.  Having said that, she also has not eaten any nor has any recipes. She's also a tribe member but will probably not be ordering up any on our next visit to Canter's.

I could go on, but probably shouldn't.

a recipe that should be right up you're street -
http://mideastfood.about.com/od/middleeasternfood101/f/stuffedcamel.htm
might even be able to modify it for Giraffe?


And before anyone thinks we eat weird stuff, how about some silk worm grubs - have actually eaten them -
but not the maggot cheese

Let's try some regular food, who's for a Big Mac?

Ostrich and emu would be kosher as are almost all birds save a few (carrion eaters, probably) excepted.  All of course have to be properly slaughtered and dressed.

No it doesn't.  I didn't see any giraffes quoted in that article (unless the rabbi is a giraffe).  Humans knew it was kosher, but maybe the giraffes didn't

... Giraffes have recently embraced Whites...

... and in some cases even Rosés... .

They are known to be particular in their choice of stemware...

... and accessories...



OK, OK... I'll stop.
