i've wondered what roadkill roo, wombats ,koalas, or those weird ass looking turkeys you guy's got ain't they called cassowaries taste like. i've heard those birds are mean ass little bastards.
got to taste better than possum on the half shell (armadillo).
Common in my neck of the woods are Eastern Grey roos, wallabies, odd potoroo. No emus, turkeys and cassowaries. Haven't seen Koala kill about here and large goannas are run over infrequently.
I have seen the odd scrub turkey and have seen it tits up on the road. Rabbits and Hare are rare but they are reemerging here. Some small turtle on occasions.
In taste I prefer bush turkey, emu, goanna, turtle, rabbit, hare. Boiled up they all smell nice in the pot. Always has the dogs interest. Possum, well, depends what they have been feeding on but their fur is put to use. I now prepare snake with the skin on but gutted. Saying that I cut the snake into cutlets/slices. Skin peels off when cooked.
Just driving along the road this evening I saw 2 roos off to the side obviously cleaned up by a truck. Because of the nature of the drive I had to pass them up but may check those roadkill in the morn.
Kind regards for the reply,
