  1. Okay, this looks very interesting. I have to say I would not mind trying the kangaroo, and the lamb looks very nice, even in its shiny plastic packaging (much better than lamb ever looks in the states). But, I have to say, the "bum burner" and the "bung fritz" seem a little disturbing, if for no other reason than their name. The latter looks like the equivalent to Italian mortadella or American bologna. But it's just that name… bung fritz… It sounds somewhere between a little gross and a little naughty.

  2. Steve, I was thinking it was a slightly slur-reference to the Germans, ex Gallipoli. Fritz has to be thick and lacking in…blah blah blah.

    But certainly looks revolting. Faux meat. I mean, if we're going to eat a dead animal, I want it to obviously BE an animal: not some concocted amalgam of hooves and cartilidge and gristle and bits.

    I should add, same theory applies to veggies!

    It's soon time to hang George, so I'll have to snap pics before catching my flight: though thigns are looking a bit dubious at the moment.

  3. ahaha fritz! We call it polony in WA, and I think they call it devon in the east? Anyway, I'm sure we all grew up having it in sandwiches with tomato sauce. Oh how that thought grosses me out now, although I do still have quite fond memories of frying up thick slices of the polony you buy in a little tube, to have in a fry up breaky. You had to cut a little nick in it to accommodate the growth spurt it had when fried!

  4. Now you see we never fried it up in Adelaide… Sacrilege!!

    I can't believe I didn't taste any when I was there…. (too busy taking pictures!)
