Pie

OZ, I was looking forward to reading your description of something buttery and flaky filled with layers of mushrooms and a beef gravy. But then you implied ground marsupial and I’m now on the Team Nooooopy side. “Just say eww to the roo!”

;vo
LOL,I don't mind the pies,roo sausages are good.I raised my kids to eat roo,they will eat the steaks rare,a bit much for me.My idea was that they would be able to survive happily if times got tough.I think they should encourage this as roos are a sustainable food source that fits in and doesn't damage the environment here.If they did away with stock and harvested roos they could do away with fencing,spraying pasture with chemicals and all the horrors that go along with farming here.I say"Let eating roo be a habit,it's not great, but better than rabbit".

‘Nice slogan you got there!

Thanks sincerely for the short education too on value of roo meat. Might be more palatable if it had a snappy nickname like “Pouch Pies”. ;)

20 years ago, a coalition tried unsuccessfully to introduce ostrich as a new white meat source in the USA. One of the key reasons they failed is because they called it “ostrich”. Here we refer to many of our meats by a name other than the actual animal - beef, pork, ham, etc. the poor birds though are still called chicken and turkey and such.
