My guide Nel tired to scare me away from the challenge. She warned me that 2 Kgs of ribs were too much, but then again, she thought she was talking to an ordinary man. That's what she gets for thinking!
After a hard day of sand boaring the sand dunes outside Swakopmund, and a particularly light lunch for me, I decided to take on the Double Rack of Ribs challenge at Neopolitana, which was right next door to our hostel. The ribs came out and they were pretty big, but I was really hungry and hadn't really had a lot of beer so far in the evening. I was up for the challenge and couldn't be stopped, especially because my reputation as a Texan was on the line. I looked at the list and noticed that there were only Brits up on the board. Only Brits? As a true Texan, I had to step up to the challenge.........and down the first rack went.
The second rack started off slowly as the biggest rib was kind of tough. I thought to myself, if the whole rack is like this, I'm never going to make it! Thankfully, they all got juicier and juicier and down they went. Sure, I was experiencing the meat sweats and the 'after effects' of eating that many ribs, but it was all worth it to see my name go up on the board. Of course, the free shot of Jaggermeister helped it all digest that much faster.
More later.....
Love, peace, and soul.
