I did home kills in Reporoa for a few years (we brought in the beasts 1/4 to the butcher)
Another guy used to come along and assist occasionaly and always took the cheeks off (as we always left in paddock for cocky to clean up with rest of offal)
Said to the guy a few years ago (like 30 years after the events) "now I know why you took - and you said for Dog tucker lying bugger"
He just smiled :-)

Best part of aninal and like $11 for 2 other day in PaknnSave - we took all on shelf :-)

You poor deluded penguin....they are claytons oysters......and not good ones at that.
Yes I will eat pacific oysters but not from there and I wont pay huge dollars for them.

They are kinda like drinking Heineken light.

They were small. I was just pleased to find some.
However the taste was perfect. Really nice.

Maybe, the wife was right, size doesn't matter...... ;)

Real easy using ground rock salt, salt the meat reasonably heavy handed make sure it's completely covered then let it sit in the fridge overnight no longer than 24hrs max (the salt will be completely absorbed into the steak) then remove from fridge allow steak to come to room temp then cook as desired. Not sure if that's the right name but someone here suggested it to me I think ????? Anyway meat loves salt tastes fab and not at all salty like you would think it would.

That reminds me of the first time we gave the kids goat stew the missus cooked up. She's magic in the kitchen and at first the kids refused to go anywhere near the stew when we told em what it was. They finally tried it and three bloody helpings each later the little buggers had eaten my next day lunch leftovers!

Swan breast. Dropped in the deep end I just trimmed it up and sliced it seasoned and fried up like I would a bit of venison.
Tasted pretty good but was a bit dry....patties might be better with some added fat.
