Definite points for the mozzarella mention!
I hate camels and they hate me.
The only animal I don't get on with, some sort of strange negative empathy.
I do eat them, though! :)

OH OH OH Do we have a funny story to go along with this?!

YOU EAT CAMELS?! OMG!

My mom said, in Syria, the women would put camel pee on their hair, said it would make it strong and beautiful, GAGG.

Some do this in the South of Morocco, too, but not around here.
The only camels in Fes are in the butchers.
The head is put on a hook outside the shop to show they have camel in stock.
Our streets are too narrow for camels. (thankfully).

Lots of stories.
For one, once I was leading a group of student to study the geology of the Sahara near the Tunisian/ Algerian border when an Arab with several camels approaches and asked if we wanted to go on a short ride into the desert, photo ops and all that.
The group looked to me for guidance and i said,'You go ahead and do what you want, I'm staying right here, camels hate me!'
'No, no!!!!!!' protested the camel guy, 'My camels, he love the Eeenglish !!!!'
'No they won't ' I insisted.
Anyway, after a short but good-natured dispute, he brought me his prized stinky, mangy, broken toothed camel and said,'See! he love you!'
At which point the camel bit my arm and wouldn't let go.
Finally, I punched him hard on the nose,(the camel, not the Tunisian chap) so he released me and ran off, at full tilt into the desert with his owner chasing after him and swearing at me in remarkably fluent English. :)
One of many such tales.

Like your avatar today - Lola made a grab for my poppy when I picked him up to put him in his bath.

He must have thought it lovely yummy looking red grub Luckily he missed!
