Fat Free burger

A restaurant in Dubai has begun offering camel burgers as a healthier alternative to hamburgers. The Local House, a traditional Emirati restaurant, says the camel burger is a fat-free delicacy for health-conscious diners. Ali Ahmad Esmail, Local House assistant manager, told the Xpress weekly newspaper that the burger patties were cooked in a secret mix of spices and were fat and cholesterol free. But he declined to say how the outlet tenderized the tough camel meat. "It's a trade secret," he said. They are also considering opening a branch in the Burj Khalifa.

Camel meat is widely eaten in some Arab countries, but is not typically sold in supermarkets or served in restaurants.
