    Traditionally it's made with Cinnamon.
    I had a friend from North Africa that made this dish and she says that foreigners started using black pepper in the 1850s, but if you want to be authentic, you must use Cinnamon.

      Well I'm not about to eat Sadam or Laverne- but if you come to the races you can have some ostrich egg omelette- which is lighter than chicken egg.

        Here's an Australian Camel Recipe:

        GENUINE AUSTRALIAN CAMEL STEW

        NOTE: Recipe requires a quite large Dutch Oven, Recommended for entertaining V.I.P’s in Camp.

        Ingredients: (serves 3800 people)
        3 medium sized camels
        ½ ton salt
        500 bushels potatoes
        1 ton pepper
        200 bushels carrots
        3000 sprigs parsley
        2 small rabbits
        1000 gallons brown gravy

        Preparation:
        Cut camels into bite sized pieces, cube vegetables (this may take awhile so start early). Place meat into pan and cover with 1000 gallons of brown gravy. Simmer slowly for 4 weeks. Garnish with Parsley. If more are expected add 2 rabbits. Mr. McGregor’s Note: I haven’t tried this recipe as I have been having trouble obtaining the camels but you may have better luck.
