For all my friends Down Under who may only be acquainted with Mutton and Australus.
This is a Cow.
A Jewish Cow.
A Holstein.
Australus:
Interesting choice of name for kangaroo meat.
Had I been asked I would have suggested combining Beef and ‘Roo and called it B’roo. Or Boof, Or ‘Roof, Or ‘Reef. Unfortunately Bee’r is taken.
How about B’reef ( for fast fry) ?
I remember many years ago when the industry tried introducing Horse Meat to the Canadian consumer.
They called it “Pony”.
Millions of kids revolted. (most of our kids are already revolting). And horsemeat never caught on.
But it seems like Skippy is already a popular dish in Oz.
Over here, Skippy is a brand of Peanut Butter.
So, as Vegemite is to you so Peanut Butter is to us. (But not on meat)
Anyway. The temperature here has gone above freezing every day for a week.
Positively balmy and far outside the norm.
Forecast is for a return to usual January weather with minus 24, tonight. And yet, still some here will fire up the ‘ol BBQ.
Cheers.
