The majority of Australians do not often eat kangaroo or emu etc and some of our wild animals are protected so that Aborigines are the only ones allowed to kill and eat them. However, I have had witchety grubs and I thought they had a nutty/ woody taste. I quite liked them. Snake was like a cross between chicken and fish and kangaroo was like a beef. I have never had emu or echidna. I was given wattle seed " coffee" to drink which was very nice. I ate these only when I went bush with some Koori and Torres Strait Islander friends of mine. Mostly we go to the supermarket or butcher to get our meat, the same as you do.
