Today I learned you can buy kangaroo steaks in Australia.

Now to get manatee on the menu in here in the US...

When I was staying in Australia for a stretch back in 2008 it was fairly inexpensive meat. I understand that isn't the case as much now, though it's still used in a lot of pet food I am told.

The things seemed to be everywhere like deer here. It may have only felt that way though. Even after three months it still felt like a novelty to see them along the highway all the time.

My kid—the youngest—told me he ate whale sausage. Apparently a friend at work has a Norwegian cousin who sent him some.

I said: Importation of whale meat is illegal.

He said: Yeah, very illegal.

I said: But you cooked it up and ate it, didn’t you?

He said: Of course. When am I gonna get another chance to eat whale sausage?
 
My crazy uncle (every family has one) brought cat shit coffee to the holiday get- together this year. He paid something like 40 bucks for enough for one pot. Kopi Luwak is supposed to be the best coffee ever, I love coffee, and I'll usually try new food and don't get grossed out. But I couldn't drink coffee knowing that it was shit out of a cat's ass.

I would have tried that. I'll try almost anything, once.

Oh, and whale sausage? Had it, didn't particularly like it.

I'm not going out and kill an animal that's on any protected list, but if one ends up dead, or presented to me as food, I'm gonna eat it.

I would've tried the whale sausage.

I spent a lot of time in the west/ southwest. Some of my favorite foods are made from parts a lot of people won't eat, especially Sesos and Menudo.

My father was raised on a dairy farm in northern Wisconsin, my mother was raised on a pig and tobacco farm in eastern North Carolina. There's not much of an animal we would not eat. That said, there are definitely parts of some animals that based on past experiences I will absolutely not have again.

I like a lot of soul food and used to eat chow often with a couple of my fellow NCO buddies, who were black. They convinced me to try pigs feet once. They weren't horrible but I really didn't enjoy chewing on grisle and leaving hungry.

In Guatemala the locals presented us with ceviche. I know now ceviche covers..."variations", but at the time I only knew it as bull testicles, lemon juice and whatever, plus some herbs and seasonings. Our female soldiers scooped it up with crackers and asked if I wanted some.

20, SF unit patch on my left shoulder, 20, challenged by a woman, 20, paratrooper, 20...goddamn right I grabbed a cracker. That shit was delicious.

The moral of the story is I'm putting that kangaroo into tacos.
