Anybody who reads my posts know that I am from station country. Outback West Oz. Born in 1961, in Perth, was back at the station before I turn 4 weeks old. Lived there 25 years.
As a kid we grew up with the Black-fellers, aborigines. They fed us all sorts of stuff. Kangaroo, emu, lizard, snake, camel, bustard (a large bird) etc. and also wild berries, wild onions, native bee honey, ants, wichety grubs, etc. About the only thing I don't think I ever got was wild cat, or feral pussy cat. Was not a lot of them about. My dad had some once. I don't ever recall not liking any of it. Mind you, now that I know where some of that stuff came from, no way am I eating it. Such as tripe, tougue, brains, Prairie oysters, etc
