Other Memories Visiting Tsavo National Park (Kenya) and "helping" the ship's crew in identifyin what meats we were having in the Park's dining area. Giraffe = ham with bone in center; rhinocerous = large steaks, ostrich=turkey, etc. Everyone enjoyed the meats, and were p.o'd when they learned that the meats were ordinary.
