Just wanted to clarify. Kangaroos are NOT a feral pest, they are a native animal to Australia. They form an integral part of the ecosystem in Australia. I studied environmental science and work in conservation and land management in Australia. It is true that eating kangaroo in Australia is a more sustainable form of meat than beef.
Actual feral animals introduced to Australia that are non native and overgraze landscapes include rabbits, goats, deer, pigs and a few others.
I absolutely love your videos Mark and watch them religiously.
Since I live in Australia, I did think that the choices of food places for this episode were a bit average.
To end on a positive note, I m happy you are in oz and creating content here!

Where to start.
Kangaroos aren't 'feral'. They're only a problem because they have the audacity to eat ground cover that might otherwise be consumed by cattle and sheep. they do taste good though.
Melbourne hipster lifestyle isn't a true representation of australian eating culture. Smashed avo will go the same way as the Prawn Cocktail and the fondue dinner party, but at least those two were pretty good.
I'm sure it was a good meat pie but again it's probably like getting a craft beer when you're wanting to experience a VB.
And chips go on the f# ing side!

Where I live the Gar fish is an invasive animal. It grows very large, very fast. Now I'm wondering if it was caught younger; could it be a food source? I imagine that will be difficult at first but maybe it could become a better way to control the population while providing food. I'm pretty sure right now that no one's looking for that size of Gar! We catch them by accident when they're huge! And I've tried it; taste is gross!

We have great food in Melbourne, better than most places in Australia especially compared to Perth. However, the inner Melbourne hipster scene doesn't define Australian cuisine, it's a part of it, but not the ring leader. Melbourne has the largest Greek community outside of Greece, and a big Vietnamese community, which isn't represented by these inner city inherited wealth leftists or this video.

Good onya cobber mate sport Most Aussies don t eat a lot of that stuff mainly the pseudo elite in the inner suburbs but there are many multicultural wonderful gourmet restaurants, fast food outlets and pubs which serve very similar food to Asia, UK and USA so I guess not worth covering in this video. But in saying that I could kill for a 4&20 pie and a dozen marathon dim sims

It sucks how over priced everything is here. 10. 00 for a meat pie? Worst thing to do is burn your mouth while eating it too. 40 for 12 oysters if your lucky, mystery meat Dim Sims, 21. 00 avocado toast, 30. 00 bOgAn burger. And the median house price in Melbourne is 836, 000. 00. Crazy

That woman is lying. Australian food is Asian and American food with some pretentious European places here and there. Only a tiny percentage eat kangaroo and crocodile. The pies and sausage rolls are from school lunches, not the football. It was the only option for a long time.

Dear God, Mark if you see this don't just eat awful pretentious bougie brunch rubbish. if you're in Melbourne get yourself to Footscray or Springvale and eat superb Vietnamese influenced food, or find great Greek or Italian or Sudanese or even a Thai or US BBQ place.

My Dad grew up in Port Melbourne, and the South Melbourne market Dim Sim is legendary. I remember as a young kid some 30 plus years ago, Dad taking me to the markets to get a massive Dim Sim and a Jam Donut. Welcome to Australia, Mark. Have fun mate

south melbourne dimsims are so over rated, they used to be cheap and as big as baseballs years ago, now they are super expensive and nothing to write home about, there are other locally made dimmies that have a lot more going for them imo

I used to work for PieFace Cafe in NYC when I first moved to town! We sold meat pies with mash. Unfortunately they've gone out of business now, but anxiously awaiting someone else to open the next great Australian Food Restaurant in NYC

bogan means working class, it has nothing to do with your character or integrity as a person, only culture snobs apply negative associations to the word, australia is built upon the backs of bogans not privately educated wankers

Haha. I'm 70 and live in Melbourne. Haven't had a sausage roll or a pie n sauce or a dim sim in more than 50 years! Those foods go with a certain phase in life/social context.
Never had kangaroo, crocodile or emu either!
