This week’s WordPress Photo Challenge theme is “Lunchtime”. Since it’s also phonoegraphy month, I’d like to share a series of memorable food/menu photos that I have taken with my iPhone 4. To quote the menu at the Red Onion Restaurant in Dar es Salaam, “Bone Appetite”!

I love “scrumbled eggs”. I understood the magret duck and the civet but was confused by how they came up w “Jupped Rabbit”. Had to google it. Looks like it was should have been Jugged Rabbit -Brit term for Civet de Lapin. Apparently the Brits thought one should start a French rabbit stew by marinating it in a jug. Rabbits are small, but I can’t picture what kind of jug one would use. The site where I found this tidbit stated that a recent survey said only 1% under 25 knew the term Jugged Rabbit. Hmmmm…could probably change that to Jupped and raise age by decades with similar results.

Thanks for the great explanation! As a vegetarian, I don’t normally spend much time on the meat options. But I do love the “scrumbled eggs”, too! Thanks, Anne Camille!

I owe my understanding of what a civet is (stewed in the blood of the fresh game –gross!) to a Patricia Wells cookbook and a recent attempt to find a rabbit recipe because my husband said he hadn’t had it since he was a kid. I can now say that I’ve cooked it once (substituting wine) but I doubt that I will ever again.
The Magret Duck btw is translated correctly – it’s specifically duck breast from a mallard that was raised primarily for Fois Gros. Definitely not sustainable or humane farming. Magret Ducks makes me imagine a drawing w little ducks escaping their captors, airborne with umbrellas renaming themselves Magritte Ducks.
Also, anything that is poelee is pan fried. As for the Toulousse, I haven’t a clue. And now I’m thinking about what kind of dish a Poelee Poulet could be. :-).

We did open and eat on package of the Obama biscuits. Unfortunately, they were kind of stale. Must have been from President Obama’s first term!

Thanks for sharing! The Red Onion Restaurant in Dar es Salaam is pretty good! Rooftop seating and Indian food. On Sundays, they have a live band playing Bollywood music. http://www.tripadvisor.com/Restaurant_Review-g293748-d2154926-Reviews-Red_Onion-Dar_es_Salaam_Dar_Es_Salaam_Region.html
