Did Castela ever get that hippopotamus she wanted?

Couldn't get it up the stairs. Or down the chimney flue.

Probably just as well. MIB would have had a hell of a time, trying to modify the plumbing in that old converted warehouse so that it could handle a day-to-day loading of hippopotamus poop. And, if you think what the squirrels did to Kath's tomatoes was bad, just imagine the havoc that would result from having a hippo wander through the roof garden!

I wonder what hippo steaks taste like...

In the words of author and hunter Peter Hathaway Capstick, “It is my personal opinion that hippo meat is one of the finest of game foods … The taste is mild, less than lamb and more than beef, slightly more marbled than usual venison. It tastes exactly like, well, hippo.”

I can't say whether I'd agree, as I've never tried it. Preparing it for a trial tasting seems easy enough, though. As the classic recipe says, "Start by skinning one medium hippopotamus..."
