AND THEN WE EAT

Righto, so there's been heaps of nice pics of cute animals on here this week but it is at this point that vegetarians and vegans need read no further. Cos sometimes those cute animals get BBQ'd. Some of our Indigenous crew caught a Bungarra and cooked it up for us....

Step 1: Obtain a dead goanna

Step 2: Prepare a fire pit

Step 3: Light fire and singe goanna's skin in the flames

Step 4: Scrape off the outer skin

Step 5: Skewer the legs so it doesn't curl up whilst cooking

Step 6: Place goanna onto hot coals and bury


Step 7: Start to remove the hot coals

Step 8: Remove the goanna from the fire pit

don't tell anyone but I'm not all that keen on goanna meat, they do have these 2 sacks full of fat in their bellies (it's what they live off during hibernation) and that fat when melted is like the best tasting olive oil you've ever had , dip in the damper and mmmmm
