Camel milk or Gatorade



In January a group of us drove about 1 hour from Dubai to hike around the Jebel Qatar area (aka Hanging Gardens Hike). Before arriving to our destination we came across a farmer tending to his herd of camels. We stopped to take a picture of the baby camels and the farmer took it upon himself to offer us some camel milk. It was so fresh we could feel the warmth coming through the water bottle he stored it in. We politely accepted and happily didn’t drink the milk which is now being used to make chocolate and may be sold at a store near you (http://www.canada.com/life/World+first+camel+milk+chocolates+goes+global/1812283/story.html).
