Interesting meats

One thing I forgot to mention when I was posting about my first trip to Cape Town was the interesting meats I tried. One night I had what I like to call the Southern Africa Atkins special: ostrich, warthog, kudu, and springbok, plus an antelope sausage. It was all on one long skewer and was basted with quince jelly sauce. It was absolutely wonderful! I probably could have finished all of the meat if I had ignored the rice that came with it. The restaurant was called the City Grill. It was right on the water at the Victoria and Alfred Waterfront. I had seen crocodile on the menu when I was there the first time, so I went back there again before I left. Unlike the African Atkins special, I wouldn't recommend the crocodile. Maybe it was the sauce they used (cream and black pepper). All I could taste was black pepper. It didn't taste bad, but it was boring.
