Protected? what's that? :laughing-rolling: Kidding, old mate down the road has about 200, a friend swapped him some pheasants for a couple, dressed em the asked if I wanted one, I thought why not, don't think the wife is real keen 8-} her old man is though.

bluc :naughty: at least you ate it, my worst so far was a cobras still beating heart, followed by a shot of its blood with Hennesy :puke-huge:

Your hardcore, I think it's unusual enough but even more so for the breakfast menu.... :laughing-rolling:

Noice. Hopefully its not an old one. They can get tough as buggery.

When greenies ask me whether something I shot is protected, I answer "Well it wasn't very well protected. One bullet knocked it over!" And watch their expressions. :handgestures-thumbupleft: :))

You get a pick tas? How was it?

Speaking of unusual foods a mate got a whole dressed and cut up goat. It cost him $500 :scared-eek: $500 for a freakin goat

In England Peasants and other game birds are hung up to a month to mature befor they are cooked ,I have also heard the term hung until green,I think the Kiwis do it to wild pigs as well.Not some thing I would be to keen on but if there is nothing else ,hunger will make ya do strange things.cheers hillzabilly :puke-huge:

Had a visitor so couldnt finish that last post.
I grew up on an island so we had weird foods. Cape Barron geese chicks, wallabies were a regular menu item for us and the dogs, crayfish nearly every friggin night as a kid, abalone, mutton birds, sea urchin, beer battered scallops, heaps of varieties of fish and flake fillets, whole baked flounder, squid rings, the odd peacock, pheasants (only two I can remember) and turkey breast meat, wild turkey (not the drink) eggs, plenty of fruit and veg from the old mans garden and probably a few other things I've forgotten.
Still cant stand crayfish.

Goat costs about $120 here if you cant pick off your own. Maybe it was the cutting that cost him?

Goat is nearly on par with lamb for price, great for the farmers that have them roaming on their land.

Round them up and sell them off for a shitload of money for fuck all work :handgestures-thumbupleft:

Have done a little shooting on stations over this way,goats are like a plague and the farmers would say take as many as ya like,and I must say they were tasty buggers,we would keep a couple of the younger ones and put them on the spit and cook long and slow,taste was half way between lamb and beef for me,and who isnot hungry after a hard days work and watching a spit roaster for 3-4hours and plenty of loud lemonades.That diet sounds good ta me Warra,sea food and eat it.cheers hillzabilly ;-)

It wasn't to tough, the breast s a little dry, I stuffed it, lay some bacon over it, put it on a mirepoix and baked it in a bag at 150 for 3.5 hours. Pretty tasty, going to get a very young hen next time. :handgestures-thumbupleft:

Spit roasted baby goat is tasty indeed, was going to type kid, it just looked wrong 8-}

The other tasty snack I had was at lambing season ,sear off their tails with a red hot wedge(not the placky rings they use now) and after you had done them all ,throw them on the coals for a few mins and serve with tommy sauce ,not a lot of meat on them but we allways had plenty,bet ya will not see that on master chef.cheers hillzabilly :D

The father in law did that for me a couple of years ago, a old Kiwi neighbour used to come up when it was time mark the Lambs and help if he could have the tails. Being a Kiwi myself he said "you would have done this before" He was most disappointed when I told him "up north there are fuck all sheep" :laughing-rolling:
