We celebrated a birthday on Friday at Mama Africa Restaurant on Long Street. Yours truly tried crocodile kabobs and ostrich meat. The verdict:
1. Crocodile really does taste a lot like chicken. It is a white meat with similar texture to most poultry, but it tastes a bit tougher. Nothing that special, but I'm glad I tried it.
2. Ostrich fillet is really quite delicious. It strongly resembles beef -- dark, well seasoned and tender. I recommend it if you ever have the opportunity.

Do you realize how hard it is to calculate large group restaurant bills with 30 people? I wonder if anyone has devised a sure-proof way to make sure everyone pays their share.
