A Malcolm Douglas tv documentary last weekend had him visiting
an aboriginal community living a very basic hunter/gatherer
lifestyle in red desert country. This group are known as "the
lizard people" because of the heavy food reliance they have
traditionally made on the larger tree-climbing lizards.

However, of late there has been a new addition to their menu. Very
sweet and tasty, this delicacy has become their favoured meat and
these folk easily track its footprints in the soft red sand. They
have named this meat "pudee".

Finally someone has found a use for feral cats!!

When we moved to the Territory 23 years ago, Aborigines in Barkly
communities were eating "puddy cats". The kids in my class said they
tasted better than kangaroo.

A stimulus package for aborigines?




I was a bit concerned about my domestic cats, but the kids assured me
they didn't taste nearly as nice as feral ones !
