heheh, i thought you were starting on the pregnancy-food-craving thing already… i’m missing items number 11 and 32 on that list.. surprisingly, i liked alligator, i thought it would taste pointy but it was fine… on the other hand, barbecued kangaroo is not nice, it had a really odd taste that i can’t place… :-O

eh, correction, i’m missing number 36 & 40 as well… sorry, missed that… is 40 similar to the English steak pie? except with weird bush meat, kangaroo and all that?

yasmina | 17 October 2006 - 07:17 | reply

i think they are similar, since supposedly, it’s just the Australian version of the pie. i’ve never tried the English steak pie, so i can’t compare it. and, no no, it’s a regular meat… not some marsupials’ meat :)
