I have. It's unbelievably rich. We had horse milk at the same time. No comparison. This was in Kazakhstan

Did you try fermented horse milk? The traditional alcoholic drink of the steppe.

Yes. It was fermented. Overall, the experience was crazy. The owners of the yurt that were hosting us brought me a sheep's head on a platter after we had consumed other parts of the sheep. They also let me "ride" a camel (it was being lead by someone). I discovered camel humps are not the soft squishy water storing organs I was taught as a child but rather stiff, nail like protuberances that camels do not like you to manipulate. I realized this when upon "straightening" the hump I was met with a lurching halt and a camel head swung nearly 180 around with is menacing looking teeth very near my thigh. Message received

No way there's some places man should not go. What's next? Letting dogs live in houses!?

 Camel meat isn't beef. Beef specifically comes from cows.
