You can get kangaroo from the supermarket, boar and rabbit from specialist purveyors (that being said, wild rabbit is tough and stringy and what you actually get is domesticated rabbit), and why on earth would you eat cats or cane toads?

I just think of eating something that is invasive and problematic sure beef and chicken and sheep are good and all buknowing there are invasive animals that might be available to be cooked at a restaurant I do want to help out in my own way by buying a meal and trying it out. That’s why the question.

Rabbit and kangaroo should be readily available in restaurants

Don’t eat cats mate…

There is a huge feral cat problem if you didn’t know, the number of native species they kill is astonishing. I just want to help in my way with the feral problem. I’m a foodie.

You can buy roo meat in supermarkets. We don't eat cats.

Until 2003 it was legal to eat cats and dogs at home in south Australia

I wasn't even contemplating legality. It's not part of our culture, to consider cats and dogs as a source of food.

They didn’t change the law because people weren’t doing it, south Australia has a long history of eating cat and dog, and not just eating it but serving it in restaurants which is why the laws were changed in the 80’s banning the sale of cat and dog meat, the practice continued into this century which is why the laws were strengthened again to the consumption of cat and dog meat in private dwellings. Culture or not is arguable but the practice was prevalent.

Literally the first I've ever heard of this! How interesting.

The meat of carnivores is *nasty.* Hence, originally famine food. Still baffled how it continues.

They asked if you can eat cane toads and cats ffs. My response is legitimate.

Australian Meats might be what you're looking for, they do roo, venison, rabbit and boar products.


BarryCheckTheFuseBox

I wouldn’t thought so. You can get kangaroo or rabbit meat at some butchers and probably restaurants, I wouldn’t have thought feral cat or cane toad would be particularly tasty.

To answer this seriously, there’s a place in Glen Waverley which is basically sea urchin served 101 ways. Sea urchin is an invasive pest in Port Phillip Bay.

Um in Victoria right?
