As my friend and I have agreed, every second Saturday, when we work till noon, is the day when we're gonna eat something new.
This week's menu item was marmot. I was surprised to hear that not a lot of people know what marmot is, how it looks like and so on - like they've never watched Milka chocolate commercials ;)
Just like the other dishes here, this one is not eye-pleasing at all. But the meat is tasty, the texture resembles beef and is much stronger, given it's a wild animal. The smell is very strong - the most discouraging part of the dish. We ate it, drowned it in a couple of Guinness beers and survived African cuisine once again.
Funny story on our way back: We met a friend from other company in the bar were we were eating and went together to buy some pants at a nearby market. There we've bumped into a guy who's a bit crazy, demented, not completely well. He started talking nonsense, like he's a Tyson's teacher, he's Bruce Lee, he wants to go to California with us and so on. We went to our cars, with the intention on going back to camp, but he'd climbed at the back of our car and didn't want to climb down. We've tried speaking to him nicely, persuading him with arguments and kind words - it didn't work. Than we started shouting and yelling - didn't work. People were passing-by and were laughing at us cos they probably knew the guy and saw that he was giving us his usual "treatment". If we'd tried to physically remove him out of our car, he could have said that we molested him, beat him or something similar. We decided to drive one circle around the town in the other car, hoping he'd leave when we're not around - didn't work. Finally, we got in our car and went back to our camp. On a military road-block we've asked those persons to help us out and they forced the looney out of our car.

All in all, an unusual day.
