Where is roast camel usually served?
United Arab Emirates

Typically reserved for special occasions such as weddings, a meal consisting of an entire roasted camel is served with rice for guests of honor to enjoy. Find yourself in Doha, Qatar, and you might see this massive dish listed on select restaurant menus.

Not too recently a poster included a *.gif video of a camel being prepared like a gargantuan Thanksgiving turkey. It always makes me appreciate culturally specific cuisine and how unprepared I am to watch a whole camel being cooked.

Then I remember living in Mexico baked goat was a Sunday staple and that after about 5 Pacificos it doesn’t matter that the testicles will be served while still attached to the hind quarter and that after one more Pacifico how great they taste.

Snopes, the hoax investigation outfit, says this recipe appeared in a real cookbook, but was apparently meant as a joke. I don't know if it is meant to be offensive, but most anti-Arab bigotry plays on different tropes. Of course, some racist tropes do depend upon ridiculing the diet of others, but honestly, we all eat weird stuff. For example, I collect cookbooks and recently got an old international cookbook that, no joke, has a whale meat recipe. My mom, a true-born Connecticut Yankee, ate eels and horsemeat. Lewis and Clark ate dogs. My Scottish dad ate tripe, and tripe-bearing Scotch broth; I miss him whenever menudo is on my Mexican restaurant menu because he would have loved it. My weird food is probably periwinkle snails, which my dad prepared when I was a kid.

There's more meat on a Bactrial camel than on a dromedary but you'd need a bigger roasting pan.
