Horses for courses

There's a restaurant in Nairobi called Carnivores which, unsurprisingly given its name, specialises in dishing up huge quantities of meat. This is the kind of place where you can eat crocodile, ostrich, kudu and zebra, plus the usual beef, lamb and chicken, in one sitting. In fact, you're encouraged to do so.

One chap who should definitely make a pilgrimage to the Kenyan restaurant is Mr Beast Feaster, a food blogger with a difference. This fellow has set himself the preposterous task of consuming 52 beasts in 52 weeks. Beasty has until April 10 next year to chomp through 52 varieties of mammal and fish.

According to the superbly named "Golden Sausage of Progress" (if only all progress was measured in sausage format) so far he's notched up an impressive 17 animals, including crocodile, partridge and horse, so providing he doesn't run out of animals or suddenly turn vegetarian, he's well on his way. With regards to fish, he's limited himself to a handful of different freshwater and saltwater fish, so he can't simply gobble up the menu at J Sheekey and call it a day.

If come April he's struggling on the beast count, he could do a lot worse than booking a table at Carnivores or fellow east African eatery the Boma, both of which would ratchet him up a few hits. Know of any other meat-tastic restaurants he should check out?
