What type of animals can you eat at AKL?

[shmoogrrrl]

My husband would like to know if any of the restaurants at the Animal Kingdom Lodge serve any of the more ?interesting animals? (I.E. something besides the usual Cows, Chickens, Fish and that sort?) He is thinking along the lines of Oryx, Buffalo, Elk, etc?..

Yeah, strange question, but he is a Carnivore! At least he didn?t ask if hunting was allowed off the balconies. He has some couth. Not much, but some.

Not sure about AKL- I know they serve African Cuisine, with lots of spices but the only meat I saw at Boma was chicken and prime rib....I don't know about Jiko though. I can't imagine that they would serve any animal that might have a close relative walking out on the savannah, but you never know. I think I heard Artist Point at WL serves buffalo, if that helps.:D

[cleo]

The most 'exotic' meat on the menu is duck. Jiko also has lamb but I'd hardly call that exotic. I think the idea is more to view the zebra than to eat of it's hind leg. ;)

Try Boma or Jiko anyway. Truly fantastic food.

Must tell you...I laughed so hard at the subject line that it didn't even matter what the thread said. Thanks for the chuckle!!!

[idontknow]

If he likes the more exotic stuff, take him over to Artist Point. They serve halibut, rabbit, deer and buffalo. He should be able to find something to eat. ;)

[Momto2funkids]

I cracked up at the subject line too!

I woke up my napping husband with my laughing.

I hear zebra tastes like chicken so they decided to just serve chicken and save the hassel.

;) ducking and running......

Artist Point serves Buffalo, Ostrich, Venison (Bambi), Rabbit, etc.

[travelitis]

After that subject line I just had to open this thread. What a hoot! LOL!

I'm just waiting for a vegetarian to get offended.

[GoofyDisney]

I hope no one would get offended.

But I must admit, when I first saw the subject line I did picture guests wandering the savannah with fork and knives! (no flaming please:p )

[jennymouse]

hmmm, it's got me curious now. I wonder what those Zebra Domes are? They sort of looook like.............:p

[cindyfan]

LOL...........and I pictured all those people picking out which one they wanted ......
You know like when you go to a seafood place and you get to pick out the lobster you want!!!! :jester:

What are "elephant ears" anyway!!!!! LOL:jester:

[Simba's Mom]

Hey, shmoogrrrl, I thought I was the only one with a DH with no couth. DH asked me the exact same question!

[travelitis]

I hear at Epcot you can get some great beaver tails. ;)

[ducklite]

I'm laughing so hard I have tears running down my face. Can you imagine PETA's reaction to the subject line!?!?!

Vegetarian laughing here....DH is a big carnivore, too! Your post reminded me of a funny story. We were at a VERY fancy restaurant once, and DH ordered an antelope entree...so he asks the waiter, mostly as a joke and partly for a serious answer...What kind of wine do you recommend to go with the antelope...The waiter never skipped a beat, just rattled off some wine suggestion, as if that were a common question and the answer should have been obvious! I thought that it was very funny!

Bon apetit!

[DisLUV]

I had the buffalo at AP and WOW is it GOOD and so is the rock fish... shmoogrrrl I too love exotic and different food and AP is MY kinda place.

Tried sneaking a BlowGun and some A1 into AKL but a nice cast member stopped me LOL

[Rneighh]

Dang --- guess I will have to change my ressies. I thought you could bag your own game off the balcony at AKL;) :teeth:

We just got back, and I tried the African Stew at Mara...it had some chunks of dark meat (looked like beef) and white meat (looked like chicken), however neither had a texture or taste that I recognized. We meant to ask them what kind of meat it was, but I was afraid to before we actually ate it as I am a picky eater. :) Does anyone know what kind of meat they put in the African Stew?

[WDW2002]

I can't imagine that they would serve any animal that might have a close relative walking out on the savannah, but you never know
Well they do serve fish at the Coral Reef....

[Ron from Michigan]

What a great thread. Just the title made me have to know what it was about.

[GEM]

Just don't eat the towel animals . . .

[obsessed]

:bounce: :Pinkbounc My DH and I are mostly vegetarian, although when out and about we will occasionally eat some fish and chicken. What a funny post! Thinking about the poor babies out there who don't know they might become dinner! I had a good laugh!

shmoo, are you staying at akl before the march 29 cruise? that is what my wife and i are doing, we have not stayed at a deluxe before, only moderates, so we are looking forward to it. we arrive wed. before the cruise.
first we have to pack our big game rifles....
:earsgirl: :earsboy:

[dandave]

tonilea, ROFL!! I've been prying my fingers away from the keyboard for some time now. I'm just itching to respond to that one.:D :D

[shmoogrrrl]

Thanks for everyone's replies! I'll have to look into Artiste Point, my husband would like that.

I'm glad that the post was amusing. As I was sending it I thought someone might get all uppity about him wanting to eat something other than the usual chickens and cows. :)

See, now you laugh, but my Husband also asked me to ask that question too! Of course on that one he was totally joking. I wouldn't go far enough to ask that though. :)

We are probably going to stay somewhere at Disney but don't know where yet. We are traveling with two good friends and their daughter (who will be 15 months) and they've never been to Disney World. We all sailed together on a 7-day eastern Magic trip in September of last year before our little ones came along, but we only went to Disney Quest.

What kind of rate did you all get at AKL? My husband, for all his talk of wanting to wander the Savanna with a fork, is actually interested in staying there just to be able to sit on the balcony and see the animals wander by.

Kathy

P.S. Can I just say WOO HOO that we are under the 200 day mark? :Pinkbounc :bounce: :Pinkbounc :bounce:

Just so you aren't disapointed....I can't see why anyone would want to eat a (former) living being. :)

Oh, just because they're so VERY tasty!!! :D :D :D

[MHopkins2]

LMAO at several of the posts here! :)

In addition to Artist Point (the last time I was there, they had a mixed grill of buffalo, elk, and ostrich), my Unofficial Guidebook says the Outback restaurant in one of the DTD hotels has some exotic entrees. I don't have the book with me at work, but I seem to remember kangaroo steak and rattlesnake salad? You might want to check that out. (It's totally separate from the Outback Steakhouse chain.) Caveat: according to the UG, the service there stinks.

[WebmasterPenny]

I like Zebra's...but I couldn't eat a whole one...

[eeyore0062]

What type of animals can you eat at AKL?

I thought...this HAS to be a misprint!

Guess not. I have to agree if you want interesting meat, your best bet would definitely be Artist's Point at Wilderness Lodge.

Can't you see all of the hunters with their nightlights and rifles off of the Savannah balconies trying to bag themselves a zebra for dinner.

OH MY!!!:p

[Gabrielle]

LOL at the subject line! :)

So did I until I read the thread. At least it is honest, even if it is kinda gross (to me at least)

[tonilea]

DH wants to know if anyone knows what kind of meat is in a Mexican Casserole???
