Went to Meatstock Auckland on Saturday. More relaxed feel this year, more room to move with fewer queues. The Brazilian and Jaapie stalls were excellent. We heard that Dixie bbq had 900kg of brisket to cook over the course of the two day event; not a good day to be a vegetarian

Never had pukeko because of the stories about how vile it is. I thought swan's were protected.

However I agree with her sentiment. If you eat cow and lamb why not anything else?

Personally I draw the line at primates but anything else is fair game (boom tish)

There is a season for swans.

@Hooroo Ever had one? - they're supposed to be delicious. So good Edward IV wouldn't let commoners tuck into them.

I love me a good roasted game bird

No, I have shot one but never got the chance to eat it as I was leaving that night (I sometimes go to Invercargill for Duck Shooting Season)

whats the story about our turkey?

They are a pest on farms, but there is something I have heard about them having worms or something 9 months a year and therefore being inedible for this time?

@taniwharugby You only cull-for-eating turkey with months without a R in them. That's the general rule of thumb here in NZ

From NZ Hunting and Shooting Forum "The r thing comes from the northern hemisphere, should probably be turned round for here. Best month's seem to be late oct, thru jan also possibly feb but depends on when cricket nos start to climb. Then may june but after that they start getting a bit scrawny. Crickets which the seem to love make them stink and taste rancid. If you can get the bastards after theyve been in a orchard premo!
