This legendary bush tucker is a sought-after delicacy for Aborigines and represents an important source of protein. The grub is eaten alive by more daring types, or cooked in the embers of a wood-based fire. Is its slight almondy taste enough to tempt you?  

Let's be frank about it - the most difficult part is catching the croc. After skinning, the meat on the plate looks much less scary. Visually, it resembles chicken, and the taste and texture are a mixture of white fish and chicken. Delicious marinated or accompanied by a spicy sauce. 

Unlike other bush animals and insects, kangaroo is gradually becoming an accepted part of the Australian diet. This low-fat red meat can be obtained in any supermarket. Good marketing has convinced the more conscientious Australians of the environmental and health benefits of this animal. 

The Aboriginal diet varies according to the region and adapts to the local species. The scrub python is hunted at the northern tip of Queensland, while the 2 meter long water python provides sustenance for tribes located in the Northern Territory, Queensland and Western Australia. Like most white meats, snake tastes quite like chicken.

Before enjoying them, they must be hunted out of their hole 2 meters below the ground in the semi-desert regions of Australia. These guys don't come out of their underground caverns (they are in fact too fat to move). Worker ants use the abdomen of the honeypot ant as a larder, which they fill with a mix of flower nectar and honeydew (a liquid excreted by aphids). They can retrieve the liquid when required by stroking the antenna of the honeypot ant.
