Native Animal Recipes?
J Williams
of inviting a few friends around for a spit roast, and thought a Dingo
might be just the ticket (and budgies are so difficult - getting those
tiny feathers out of your teeth after you bite their heads off is just
far too much effort).
Now if we could catch a grain-fed fattened Dingo that has not had too
much exercise and yet might provide some sport in the chase. Anyone
interested?
I believe there is a local Dingo that might fit the bill - tracking him
has always been problematic. However with some assistance from the
public, and with some careful work, I'm sure we could flush him out and
have a public roasting that 99.9% of Canberrans and Australians in
general would enjoy immensely.

Some would argue that because of the time span of its presence on this
continent (some say more than 10,000 years) and its position as the
only large predator (since the demise of the Thylocene and until the
introduction of the fox and the cat) that it should be regarded as
native.
I have certainly seen dingoes behaving as a natural part of the
ecosystem in the forests of the coastal ranges east of Armidale NSW.

The dingo is an introduced species, Mike. It is a feral dog. It didn't
evolve here.
It is native only in the sense that Aboriginal Australians are native.
And on that point, what is your view on a dingo-kelpie cross? Native?
Half-native? Don't know?

Nah.... don't eat dog...
Kangaroo or Emu would be far superior in taste.
Watch the ABC "Bush Mechanics" for good bush recipes... they
often eat 'roo or emu... and it looks bloody tasty...

Ummm. That's what the discussion is about - what to call the dingo. If
you have *any* opinion at all, then you are down and dirty with the nit-
picklers.
I say it's as native or as indigenous as Aboriginal Australians or
buffalo, both being pre-European introductions.
And on that note, I wonder what my fellow Aussies think of the Outback
Steakhouse chain of US restaurants, apparently with Fosters on tap:

Dingos taste like shit, I'm told.
Roos are much better, watch 'Bush Mechanics' on ABC for recipes.

Nothing "evolved" in Australia. Although the people who jump on the "wild
imported dog" bandwagon are simply "clutching at straws" as there is no
realistic proof of when they actually arrived.
Between 5000 -50000 years ... I think that's long enough to consider them
"native".

Roo meat is stringy & tough - I can't speak for the boong chook, as I
haven't had the pleasure.

Wrong Bron. Marsupials and Monotremes both evolved in Australia (or to
be precise the Gondwana supercontinent.) This is why Monotremes are
exclusive to Australia and Marsupials to Australia, nearby islands and
South America. Those with a knowledge of Botany would also know that
certain plant families are in the same boat (most famously the
antarctic beech family.)

I think this was my point, but has been lost in abuse from the
arch-troll.

As I point out and Mike confirms, this is not true. Kangaroos are not
found anywhere else, for example, apart from the tree kangaroo of New
Guinea, which walked there when Torres Strait wasn't. Kangaroos evolved
in Australia.
I have trouble with the concept of a tree kangaroo. Odd. Like a whale on
stilts or a flying wombat. Fruit-bat, wom-bat, hmmm.
Then again, kangaroos can swim, and New Guinea is really just a hop skip
and a jump away.
Anyway, kangaroos evolved here, as did platypodes and a whole bunch of
other birds and animals and fish and plants. Murray Cod. Emu.
Macadamias.

In that case then people are native too, using your logic. If you need
proof, just look at the chocolate brown colour of the people calling
themselves Aboriginal. Obviously the bloodline has become mixed over the
centuries.
Just like dingoes, who now have significant amounts of more recent
imports in them. Dingoes are dogs.

No, Mike. It was my point. Conveniently snipped by Bron, who will not
direct an "Oops" in my direcetion, I make no doubt!
