man i wish we had them up here, i'm sure the ranchers and farmers dont though lol

[Frodo]

I'll share one of my favorite recipes with you

this called  ''smoking a fatty''

2 pounds ground sausage.  rolled out  cover it with what ever you wish 

roll it up, cover with bacon  and place in your smoke at 200 degrees till done

if you do not have a smoker it can be cooked on a grill or in an oven

They cause millions in damage and they kill live stock.  I have friends who kill them  as a business

Tip

 put it in the freezer for 1/2 hour. it makes rolling it up easier and the meat does not pull apart

Rrrrrrright you two !! stop it. Making me salivate.....geez !!!

Yep, I second that !!! Every Christmas, Mum makes homemade piccalilli,   a ye olde pommy ( engilsh) delicacy , and theres always a few jars left  over  after Christmas ....maturing in the cupboard . Goes so well with  leg ham, cold beef or pork  left overs, cheese,  and another pommy fave, pork pies ...or on its own . Its choccas full of turmeric, so keep it away from clothing and formica/laminated kitchen benches unless you intend changing the colour...to yellow .  Might  even be good as a dye?? hmmmm?

Oh heck yea and the aroma cooking over a open fire makes it even better.

The taste from cooking on coals and open fires is phenomenal . That can't be replicated in an oven or a fry pan.

@Frodo I've tried looking for those bacon steaks........no chance .I may have  to go to some ' boutique' butcher . 

While on the subject of food,  after Christmas, when the turkey & ham have done their dash, both the carcass & bones are frozen for Winter and then used for some really  hearty & tasty soups. Yummo

I now have an intense craving for bacon steak... a food I didn't even know existed until now.

The young chap is  a little young to run a butcher shop ...just kidding

 I feel your craving, I've looked everywhere for them . Nothing comes close. 

Now to make our cravings  worse:  bacon steaks cooked over hot coals, with fresh eggs, a few sausages, and black pudding ( aka blood pudding, or blood sausage....Scottish recipe) , and fresh hot  damper ( Aussie bush  bread ) , and perhaps a beer . 

Sorry

i have heard of it but never actually tried it. It looks delicious. I make my own summer sausages and brats from elk and deer.

smoked trout anyone and fresh caviar? Spring is here and the lake will be opening up. German browns spawn first and hit like a starving tiger lol. time for some fresh food!

Geez that looks so damn good  . Yep definitely a recipe book in the making here.

Theres an assortment of black pudding recipes , the Scottish recipe is my fave. Not too fatty, but still plenty of flavour, not too spicy either ( like the Irish recipe ) . 

We're at the tail end of Summer here, April can still produce some warm days  , but  the cooler nights are making themselves known ... a few months then its our Winter...and its home made soup time , &  curries ....YES  *fist pump* 

A bit off topic here, but the best thing about living in the bush ( central wheatbelt WA ) , is the beautiful changing seasons , don't see that in the busy cities. People are too busy to pay attention.

here is a  fast and east tamale recipe

 

 

[Handstitched]

Here ya go my friends, @Frodo & @chuck123wapati

Kangaroo steaks were on tonights menu .  For those on a low fat diet ( not me)  with  high protein & iron , these are ideal . Hardly any fat.  Just a little  salt and pepper seasoning , cooked for 3-4 mins on each side...and thats it.  Just like beef steak, they can be seasoned with your fave herbs spices etc. or marinated.  Best not to cook for too long  due to the low fat content. 

We are the only country that eats their own national emblem   . I have eaten Emu  steaks  ( pronounced ' eemyoo ') ,  so tasty,  but harder to find and more ex$y. They have a strong game flavour.

(My trusty BBQ is about 28 years old , all cast iron, glad I kept it. The newies these days are cheap & thin)
