But it's 26 00:01:07,560 --> 00:01:09,679 Speaker 2: great that, you know, you gave me that opportunity a 27 00:01:09,680 --> 00:01:12,560 Speaker 2: Manda to showcase that on there, because you know the 28 00:01:12,560 --> 00:01:16,600 Speaker 2: feedback that comes back from when people experience the food. 29 00:01:16,720 --> 00:01:18,320 Speaker 2: And I think it was just like yourself, you were 30 00:01:18,360 --> 00:01:21,880 Speaker 2: so surprised, but not only that, enjoyably surprised. 31 00:01:21,920 --> 00:01:26,720 Speaker 1: I think absolutely, well, why is it that your products 32 00:01:26,840 --> 00:01:30,120 Speaker 1: and your show and all this stuff has made a 33 00:01:30,840 --> 00:01:33,920 Speaker 1: really big inroads in Europe and the States and places 34 00:01:33,959 --> 00:01:36,320 Speaker 1: like that where they are fascinated by this, but not 35 00:01:36,360 --> 00:01:38,600 Speaker 1: so much in Australia. We don't think to include this 36 00:01:38,680 --> 00:01:40,440 Speaker 1: in our food, these indigenous ingredients. 37 00:01:41,120 --> 00:01:42,560 Speaker 2: Yeah, it is a bit of a quandary. I've been 38 00:01:42,560 --> 00:01:44,360 Speaker 2: doing this for what I have a sety odd views 39 00:01:44,400 --> 00:01:46,840 Speaker 2: now and coming from the Elawarra coast, did a lot 40 00:01:46,840 --> 00:01:49,480 Speaker 2: of foraging down here in the late seventies eighties, and 41 00:01:50,040 --> 00:01:54,000 Speaker 2: things like the warrigal greens and the lovely lemon myrtle. 42 00:01:55,000 --> 00:01:59,880 Speaker 2: I overseee people see this as you know, Australian native tucker, 43 00:02:00,360 --> 00:02:03,000 Speaker 2: you know, and this is what should be our native cuisine. 44 00:02:03,040 --> 00:02:05,840 Speaker 2: But people overseas they've got that palette for something different. 45 00:02:05,880 --> 00:02:10,880 Speaker 2: They want to experience other flavors and this is so unique, 46 00:02:10,919 --> 00:02:13,400 Speaker 2: and it's just a pity our own country hasn't caught 47 00:02:13,520 --> 00:02:15,920 Speaker 2: up with the rest of the world that are just 48 00:02:16,160 --> 00:02:18,480 Speaker 2: chomping at the bit to try something new because it 49 00:02:18,520 --> 00:02:19,679 Speaker 2: is new food for them. 50 00:02:19,840 --> 00:02:21,560 Speaker 3: I like that lemon myrtle.

Look, the best way to cook kangaroo. The best 77 00:03:34,840 --> 00:03:37,040 Speaker 2: part of the kangaroo, or find is the tail filet. 78 00:03:37,320 --> 00:03:39,320 Speaker 2: So it's the bit that just it's above the tail. 79 00:03:39,440 --> 00:03:41,480 Speaker 2: You've got the loin filet, which is quite good, and 80 00:03:41,520 --> 00:03:45,040 Speaker 2: the rump's always good anyway, but the best part is 81 00:03:45,360 --> 00:03:47,520 Speaker 2: the tail.
