war baby Posted March 31, 2022 Share Posted March 31, 2022 I read with interest about the possible local wallaby cull. Perhaps we are missing a trick here and it could be that there is a great new farming opportunity at a time when we need to look for healthier eating options. Wallaby meat is low in fat and high in protein. This shank looks good to me. I am sure John Wannenburg would tuck into it. The are lots of tasty cooked wallaby recipes online if it catches on. You heard it here first, folks! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
finlo Posted March 31, 2022 Share Posted March 31, 2022 If they push up the price of the leccy and gas much more we'll be left with no choice but too eat them and any other roadkill! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boris Johnson Posted March 31, 2022 Share Posted March 31, 2022 They could set up a whole new department to come up with ideas. It could be called?- The Wallaby's Are Tasty So eat some............... 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kopek Posted March 31, 2022 Share Posted March 31, 2022 If they are tough, as I suspect they may be, the slow cooking would put your gas bill up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Central Scrutiniser Posted March 31, 2022 Share Posted March 31, 2022 Had it casseroled once with cherries. Not bad. Quite dense like Hare. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0bserver Posted March 31, 2022 Share Posted March 31, 2022 Maybe Government could just leave the poor fuckers alone. Is it the 'conservation' idiots at MWT behind this again? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wallabies and kangaroos are basically the same thing, size being the main difference, so I imagine the meat is similar. I’ve eaten kangaroo steaks many times - the cuts I had were very lean, red meat, perhaps slightly gamey. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

asitis Posted April 1, 2022 Share Posted April 1, 2022 I'll repeat what a respected naturalist told me about the Wallabies, apparently the inbred nature of the lot makes for poor health generally, but in conservation terms it is the damage you can't see that matters. They alter the composition of the soils at a microscopic level through their faeces and urine which has a knock on effect on endemic plant species and subsequently higher up the food chain. In terms of the natural life on the island they are a bad thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mainly for wanting to shoot wallabies and make the countryside 'natural' in their image. The countryside is how it is. Just leave it alone and go and find another cause to virtue signal about 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
