There are a couple of places near me with meats from around the world.

I don't think I#'ve tried Skippy

Deany said she got it from Lidls. Apparently it was on offer.

Oh right wow didn't think lidls would do that, that Shop is marvelous can get anything at golf prices if Tesco and the rest lol

I had kangaroo over Christmas. Unimpressed tbh. Not worth it over beef IMO.

We have an ostrich farm up the road so that will get a visit during the year. I'd like to try it.

Ostrich is nice enough. Not a very strong flavour to it. It's very high in protein and low in fat which makes it popular with fitness freaks and bodybuilders.

Not a lot today, woke up with a dicky tummy and don't fancy pushing my luck..

Nice simple and healthy dinner...salad Niçoise. Pitty's away with work tonight, so I've no need to cook anything

That's a shame. My take on the Kangaroo steak was that it seemed very tasty.
I felt it's consistency was about that of a firm Rump.
It seemed to hold a good moisture content, and as such was more succulent.
It's flavor was far more gamey than beef, had almost a liver taste to it IMO.

I have had Ostritch, but it's been such a long time I've forgotten what I thought of it.!

Homemade fish and chips. Very nice it was too.

I think mine was over cooked tbh. I love liver and kidney, you've reminded me of it now

I'll try kangaroo at the end of the year when I'm back in oz. I saw it last time but didn't manage to get it :-( defo worth a try

Sherbet...it's a love/hate thing

The kangaroo comments made me realize that I need to thaw some venison tenderloin. I have a half marathon this weekend and always reward myself with beer and steak afterward... Nom nom nom

I am currently picking at a tub of mixed nuts and seeds in an attempt to not eat rubbish all the time, gunna be honest its not quite doing it for me lol

I normally have a variety of dried fruits, nuts etc at work to stop me eating mars bars and twix bars all day.

Last night I had half a roast piri piri chicken with some salad. It's a bit late to try and get my beach body but I've got to show willing

same as, it works most of the time.. But occasionally only a bag of crisps will hit the mark..

Maryland gooey cookies....not to shabby lol

Mikado...again!!!

In the evenings I've mostly been eating the chocs that Mrs Gee rejects, since all the kids in her class and the rest of the Staff loaded her with boxes of chocolates as birthday pressies a couple of weeks back. It's a filthy job but in the interests of domestic harmony I endure it.

However as I was cooking tonight we were eating chorizo, pancetta and pea risotto.
