Spring's and Dolye's threads got me thinking about what is the best African meal y'all have had in Africa. As I stated in those threads, mountain zebra was exceptionally good. All the meals that I had in camp were very good indeed. However, the best meal I had was gemsbuck filet the night I arrived in Windhoek. If fact, it was one of the best meats I have ever had, period. I also had gemsbuck carpaccio, which was good, but not that much different than traditional carpaccio.

I heard that eland is quite good and considered by some to be one of the best African game meats. I'm curious as to what some of you found to be the best meal you had in Africa.

Tommie chops are the best in my opinion. You can shoot the gazelle that day and the chops will be excelent that night. Absolutely incredible!

The one meal I look forward to more than any other is a spicy buffalo tail soup.

I've had wonderful meals each and every time. But I really loved the chicken fried Kudu steaks as well as the Eland filets. You can see why they relish Eland meat in Africa.

Eland is tops!

Then, Kudu, Impala, Bushbuck, Leopard, Klipspringer, Elephant, Zebra, Dassie, Hippo, most ctitters I've had were pretty good!

The Hippo was a bit on the tuff side but tasty!

I miss that other white meat... Warthog for me, the Zambezi flowing by and the coals of the fire dying down as the thrill of the leopard coming to the tree still captivates the mind. Yup, warthog for me.

Eland steak is best, followed closely by the above, buffalo steak, then guinea fowl casserol!

In fact, I will take ANY meal in the hunting camp to ANY meal in a 5 star restaurant!

I love eating in Africa, every meal is a treat. My favorite is game with wildebeest and Gemsbok topping the list. Tiger fish is very good. Biltong is a favorite of mine.

I also love rooibos tea, Ouma rusks, Weet-Bix cereal, boerewors and droewors. These can be purchased at http://www.southafricans.com

Eland is quite good but I really enjoyed gemsbuck and Mtn. Zebra fillets as well.

I've had a couple meals of both blue and black wildebeest that were nothing to sneeze at either.

Several times my outfitter filled a three legged pot with water and when the water boiled from the coals gathered around the base (coals from a wood camp fire) he put in meat (usually from something shot that day....Gemsbok was normal but Kudu and eland was also used and then veggies and the pot was allowed to simmer.......We sat around the campfire and consumed a few adult beverages while the cooking took place.......don't ask me what it was.....it beat Pasha all to heck I can tell youi......and I have never had anything better in my life.......great stuff.

I've had some great meals in Africa with Lichtenstein hartebeest, gerenuk, and a tommy being some of my favorites. But sometimes it is the setting that can make a meal all the more remarkable. For example, on my last morning after hunting in the Masailand, we woke up before sunrise and hiked to the top of the hill where our camp was. The camp's chef came with us and cooked a wonderful breakfast as the sun rose displaying Kilimanjaro off in the distance. What a finish it was to a great portion of our hunt. It was a morning I'll never forget.



Another example is our time honored tradition of a restful stop for lunch in the midst of a great day afield. Isn't it amazing how good they can be? Here's a typical lunch in the long grass in Western TZ:



Sometimes you just want to close your eyes in some of these places and suck in every sensation around you so that you can hold on to it forever--the sights, the smells, the sounds, and the tastes of Africa for most of us are way too fleeting.

I have enjoyed all of the venison that I have had in Africa, but the best meal that I have had was a wonderful seafood dinner with all the trimmings at Blackbeard's in Port Elizabeth. I had a local fish the name of which I forget, but was something like yellow tail. Absolutely out of this world. With a wonderful chardonnay from the Cape, with incredible service. Life is good!

Mine was "mealy-mealy" (I mean the cornmeal breakfast I ate every morning in Zimbabwe) and buff served "shish-kebab" style. (My outfitter's wife was a continental Italian lady who had set up a camp in the bush where we had salad greens grown in a garden. I fell in love with her after I found out that part of the cargo that was on the plane that flew me in to camp was a 50lb sack of potatoes - As an Irishman I was glad to see my favorite vegetable!)

This was pretty good. They brought out a hot slab of rock and you cooked a t-bone steak at the table.

I knew you couldn't stand to not post something about those TGTS niceties. Now that is the way to offer a safari lunch. Those wooden boxes offered a variety of wonders each day.

Mark,
I was wondering if you would notice that! Wink It is amazing what some of the chefs can create in the bush using only an oven like the one below.....

Eland was one of the many great meals consumed between Namibia and South Africa. Had a great crocodile appetizer in South Africa along with fresh fruit in both countries. I think I ate everything in front of me and gained about ten pounds during a month of travel time.

Be safe
