Food Glorious Food

I think we have told you a bit about bush food, some of the kinds of edible foods that grow wild and have been traditionally gathered by Aboriginal peoples. Now for a sampling of the Australian table foods we have had now and again.

The meal pictured here is from an extensive buffet of choices at the Outback Pioneer Lodge at Urulu: smoked kangaroo, wallaby, lamb, crocodile curry (very tasty -- like chicken with a hint of fish, surprisingly light), cucumber salad with squash, a bit of rice, and steamed fig pudding with brandy custard for dessert!
