Did anyone ever see the movie called Mondo Cane (It's a Dog's Life)? They showed these guys eating live monkey's brain through a hole in the table. They said it was tasty. Not sure if it's available in Oz. Not for me tho' fraid not.

There are multiple laws preventing that from being legal in Australia. I wouldn't be too squeamish to try it, but ethically and from a safety point of view (prions and pathogens seem so likely from a live primate) I wouldn't want to.

In the right season you can snaffle the joeys right from the carcass pouch, superb lightly roasted with some bush currants and chilli
 
Yeah, where did you eat cat meat!!?

I didn't like the smell of roo meat and my cats wouldn't eat it either. Maybe it's all in the way it's cooked.

As I said, in Melbourne. Why does eating cat get a " " while all the other delicious animals mentioned get devoured without a blink? Cats are made of meat too, they're not poisonous, and they are scrumptious.

Odd that your cats wouldn't eat 'roo. All the cats I have seen presented with 'roo gobbled it up, and they have been selling it as cat food for decades. When I was little my mother had a pet cat which wouldn't eat anything else.
 

Just a bit of tongue-in-cheek mate, because I'm a cat lover. I suppose I'm a bit of a fussy eater. I don't eat offal of normal domestic meat... at least not that I'm aware of... maybe pies!

I'm aware that cats and dogs etc are on the menu in Asia, but I'm surprised they are in Aus. Is this where our RSPCA surplus animals go?

Yeah, I thought I was gonna be smart and substitute some cheap meat in lieu of canned meat, but they screwed their nose up at it. They eat rats, mice and odd little possum, maybe I'll try again and maybe lightly cook it.
 
I think you're confusing Bundy Rum with Buderim Ginger.
Produced in Buderim in the Sunshine Coast hinterland, reasonably close to Eumundi I suppose, but a long way from Bundaberg.
 
Isn't there a danger of vitamin A poisoning if you chow on things like cats and dogs? Having said that I would like to try croc, it's supposed to be pretty good.

If you like your meat rare then kangaroo is for you. :kebab

Ha thankyou Julia I went there about 5 years ago, memory a bit fuzzy. Have you been to the Eumundi markets? A guy there makes nice ginger beer.

There is a dodgy little asian butchery in my town, I would never go there for my own meat as it smells, however having been told they were dirt cheap by a customer of mine I decided to go there to get some meat and bones for my dogs.

I walked in an asked the lady behind the counter if they had any "dog bones", She replyed that they wouldn't have any till tuesday. I saw a plastic tub of bones on the floor and asked what they were and she said "beef Bones only, no dog bones till tuesday". I walked out a bit confused till I realised she was saying that on tuesday they would actually have the bones from a dog for sale.

I have not been back since.

Not yet, how ever we did receive a telegram that says we may have a couple of breeding swine when the annual steam ship arrives from the mother land next winter.

Eventually we may also get laying hens and we my finally be able to have bacon and eggs for breakfast.
 
Wild meat is much sweeter than domestic bred animals. In saying that you have to know how to cook it (and of course source it).

There is nothing like thow going out finding,hunting,butchering,cooking,serving your own natural meat. By far the healthiest way to eat.

When my children were a lot younger, I made Ham steaks for dinner once.

They are oval shaped, about 8 inch diameter.

You know how kids pester and say "whats for dinner".

I say "Dolphin" and whack the plates down in front of them.

It was really hard not to laugh, as I tucked in, briskly explaining the benefits of seafood,and how they sliced the dolphins right thru with a big chopper, the look on their faces was priceless.

Eventually Mum came in and spoiled the fun.
 
I'm not in a big city, and our local supermarket still manages to have the basics - beef, lamb, pork, chicken (free range or farmed), veal, salmon, snapper, prawns, mussels, flathead, trevally and the whole gang. Plus the deli meat range like blood sausage, a million types of salami, specialty sausages (kransky, chorizo etc), also tripe, brisket, lamb's brain, liver, kidney, probably a few others, i don't look too hard cos i'm squeamish.

Next supermarket along carries all the above plus kangaroo (fillets or mince), oysters, venison, turkey, shark ('flake'), whiting, quail, rabbit, duck, the works.

i've never seen mutton or hare, though.
 

Agree there. When I was a youngster my parents would slaughter in the paddock all our grass fattened beef, free range pork and chicken (and eggs) and smoke our own bacon and cure own ham. Certainly much better than supermarket stuff.

Loved to go estuary fishing and feeding up on fresh caught crab, prawns, flathead, whiting, bream etc.

Have hunted wild pig, not eaten them wild because of worms, but penned them up for a few weeks and they were ok.

Mutton still available ocassionally, but I think it's considered inferior to lamb these days... and rightly so from my prospective. I prefer goat to mutton. My first job out of school I worked out west Qld a lot and was not uncommon to be served up mutton stew, mutton chop, mutton casserole, mutton...

Have hunted and eaten wild hare and duck. It was very nice shot in the morning, marinated through the day and cooked for supper after work.
 
I had a drop bear for a pet and it never harmed anyone!!
Alright, I got it as a baby (cub?), but it was never vicious with my cats - in fact they played together in the lounge, jumping on one another and rolling around - no problem at all!

Eat as much cat and dog as you like, it's not going to hurt you (though will result in the deaths of many cats and dogs). You may be confusing "cat and dog" with "polar bear liver"... easy mistake to make I suppose. Even bear liver won't hurt you unless you eat a heap of it, and I assume none of us are going to eat several kg of bear liver in a hurry.

Surprising that people think cat is an unusual meat - feline vermin, er, cats are hardly uncommon in Australia - wild and domestic. I'm sure we all see cats all the time, but rarely a pig, and most people probably don't even see chickens all that often. I bet half the people on this forum have actually never seen a live snapper, whiting, salmon or tuna.

Has anyone tried pigeon? They look yummy, but ugh, they're disgusting!
 
A couple of blokes I'd studied with years ago told me they tucked into the scrub turkey running around in their backyard. They told me it tasted a bit wild but filling nonetheless!
