I hope you will find the book and will learn more about the incredible camels. Camel is a multipurpose animal and all rounder to cope the difficult climatic calamities.
Dr. Raziq I can see why you are so successful! Your response, instant, and lovely is much appreciated. Although I wrote my blog, usually at night, I wasn’t well and I have been for six weeks in the hospital. I am now back home and I will order the book today. Than you for your kind comments. You are a great man!

I found where to buy camel in the UK. My question is: what is the taste like of the milk? Is in powder form any good? The fresh comes frozen, is this OK?
That is very good. The camel milk taste is lighter, the taste spread quickly in the mouth, and slightly salty. Both are equally good, either frozen or powder.
