I ate camel at a middle eastern feast in Stormhold in Lochac, once.  It
was done in a stew of some kind, but I'm afraid I don't remember exactly
how.  I do have the cook's email address if anyone really really wants
to know.  I recall that it tasted more like goat than anything else.

I tried beaver at a recent camping event in Skraeling Althing (Ottawa,
Canada).  It tasted like goat too :)
