Sounds great, cant wait to try. We smoked one using a U-Haul truck and burning old railroad ties. It was great but had to forfeit the deposit.

This does NOT taste like chicken.

I had a large dinner party last month and substituted a rhinoceros. Worked quite well.

We really liked this. My sons are super picky eaters so I left out the parsley. Added a few green peppers from the garden. Definitely will make again!

I think I want this for my birthday, my wife will want to leave out the rabbit maybe we can substitute squirrel.

I'm going to make this for our next church potluck dinner. I think I'll make cornbread to sop up the juice. You know how Methodists are....they will eat anything.

A very nice touch with the cornbread, Connie! If you can offer suggestions to the planners, you might recommend not using the four gallon styrofoam bowls this year. Need to be environmentally conscious ya know.

This was the perfect way to use up the vegetables from my 2x3-acre garden!

We had leftovers stuffed in casings and boiled in beer and onions. Hippo-brats at the tailgate party !

I asked my butcher for hippo meat and he said he'd have to special order it. Is $25.00 a pound a good price?

Can I substitute yak? I have several in my freezer. (actually, they're outside leaning on the garage -- Hey, I live in Minnesota where it's that cold most of the year) Going to marinate the beast in Llama milk for a week to lessen the "gaminess". Looks like I'll have enough for sandwiches the next day. And the next. And the next. "Do you have any Grey Poupon?" Alot?

I added 3 Pygmys and a witch doctor. OMG soooo delicious. Served with the black jelly between elephants toes... to die for...

I always serve this stew with fresh Italian or French bread to sop up the gravy. Delicioso, you won't want to waste a drop!!!

I think I'll try putting in a small hippo instead of sausage with my blackeyed peas this year on New Years Day. I'll use a couple hundred garlic cloves, 100 large onions, and about 200 gallons of rotelle (along with the water and blackeyed peas)...that should make it good and spicy. I'm on duty at the fire station this year and this should feed the whole department!! Yummmm!!!! Instead of "Hoppin' Jon" we'll have "Hoppin Hippo".

I was wondering what to make for our Sunday School's Valentine potluck next year... Now I know! With this recipe, I will be sure to *WOW* them! :) Thank you in advance!

It is my understanding that Hippos are on the endangered list...

Well, of course they are... NOW!
