Ooo yak (maybe it is Yak).

I don't recall eating or drinking anything I shouldn't have last night. Maybe I did some sleep feasting - that would at least explain the missing pillow.

Having brushed my teeth quite vigorously twice with a very minty toothpaste, and swilled a half bottle of Listerine around my gob, there is, beneath the minty, antiseptic freshness the lingering remains of something my worst imaginings tell me must taste not entirely like a Turkish Wrestler's jockstrap.

Back to the toothpaste, me thinks. Maybe I should nip across to Waitrose and see if there is a brand even stronger of the mint before I start getting Fluke Man flashbacks...

baking soda? it tastes horrible, but does kill most other flavours.

That title reminds me of a Round the Horne excerpt about how to cook the animal.

It doesn't really matter how you cook and present it, as it's always identifiable. Or at least, the recipient always says "Yack!".

At present I am unable to speak with authority on the taste of Yak, however I am looking forward to partaking of Yak steak and a fried egg at 11,319ft in approximately 7 weeks time.

I have been assured that the experience is entirely pleasurable, nay delish! and will make it my business to confirm or discount this assertion upon my return to reality sometime in early March.
…assuming of course that I have not lost all my digits to frostbite…….

Presumably not for the Yak, though...

The Yak, being dead at the time probably doesn't care one way or the other.
However, while I like my steak medium or rare I don't like it so rare that it is able to offer 'resistance'/get up and run away/ bite back !

PS Listerine 'Original' is my preferred choice of gargle......it's a bit like slooshing yer gob out with ......actually the whole experience/taste is pretty indescribable actually...suffice to say it'll make your eyes water and might well strip the enamel from your teeth !

"Turkish wrestler's jock strap"!

Ah, that's takes me back. Delightfully politically incorrect.
