Had to be BS because everyone knows that spaghetti grows like oats and is cut and baled before it goes to the factory

I've used venison successfully. Even goat mince works. Curry goat meatballs and spaghetti. A bit of what I call (con)fusion cooking...

No confusion over this way, meat is meat, had some roast hoppy the other day, thanks to some indigenous fellas, very nice, like goat but different texture
Leftovers were made into kangaroo pie🤤🤤 Marron tonight,

Maybe witchetty grub tomorrow??

Haven't done it for thirty years or so, but joe blake is a reasonable substitute for chook. And croc snags go all right as well. Never had marron, but if they are anything like yabbies I don't see the point, unless you are starving. Of course, garlic can help. It usually does.

Hi,
Tried to cook snake once, years ago, but after skinning and gutting it (weird anatomy in there) decided the meat to bones ratio was all wrong and not worth the effort.
Being about day 5 of a 10 day South Coast walk, it wasn't that I didn't need more food.
Cheers

Depends a lot on the snake. I've never tried to skin one. I ate snake in SE Asia, where it is quite common.

Hi, this was about 1.5m Tiger, not very fat.
I have held some large pythons that were surprisingly solid and very heavy that would be a better culinary choice.
I didn't (knowingly) eat any snake in the 2.5 years I spent in SE Asia. But probably would have tried it if offered on the menu.
Cheers

About fifty years ago I was in the office in our camp in the Southern highlands of PNG, when our local (native) office assistant came in and told me about the snake that the surveyor's party had caught. From the description it was about 6m long and about 15cm diameter.

I asked "Where is it, I would like to see that?". He replied, in a tone of great disgust "They ate it!"

I thought the disgust was a bit hypocritical considering that knowing where he came from, certainly his grandfather, and quite possibly his father, would have been quite happy with eating the inhabitants of the neighbouring villages. (In the particular area of the Southern Highlands where we were, the resident anthropologist told me that according to the government patrol officer the last case of cannibalism had been ten years ago, just before the first European settlement there (a two person mission), but he knew for a fact that it had been only six weeks ago.
