Shamelessly pinched from another board :D



Kookaburras or Ha Ha pigeons are great split open and grilled over the coals of a good fire. Bunyip stew is very popular around here, in the south east. just cut up the bunyip up and add to the pot with a good piece of hoop snake and some potatoes. And don't forget the Pavlova for desert.

aw geez Peter now yerve gone and done it aint yer?! strewth yer may as well tell em about the 5 hour tenderizin process for the kookaburra if you can stop the buggar laughin at yer that is... the galahs are even longer and yer need a flamin great 20lb sledge to do the tenderizin with...

sigh... alrighty then I will put yer straight Granpaw.. lilmessyone I reckon yer better get Granpaw to drop a galah parrot kookaburra crow or any other tough ol bird dont worry about de=feathering it {thatsa da secret ingredient! } now hes gotta put the dead bird {sorry chicken its gotta be dead cause else it would fly away and cause all sortsa mess on granpaws head!} Anyways get him to put the bird on the choppin block and start whackin heck outta it with the sledge hammer until its nice and tender {somewhere around 5 or so hours}

Okay now get some vegies carrots onions chilli tomiatas potyatoes celery broccoli you know all them good tucker them ol fellas are always makin yer eat... just play along here lilmess its gonna be alright ridgeydidge!
Now chop em all up into about 1/2in bits yep leave the skins on!!! dont peel em thats the good bits... okay now get gramps to get a carton of good Aussie beer... nope no US muck allowed Aussie brew only with this mix kiddo... so hes got his 12 big brownies right? thats the big bottles of beer... great now get the biggest meanest put yerve got maybe one of them turkey broiler things? big buggar!... okay so open and bung a couple of bottles of beer in that pot... right drink one bottle with gramps hes gonna need strengthenin by the time this is over

Now toss the vegies in... and boil it up... if youve got some fine roo hangin around toss that in nice 1in chunks is good... cook him up cookin cookin maybe an hour or two till its all nice and soft munchy right? okay slam in that bottle of worsteshire sauce lilmis just open it up and pour it all in thats the one... another bottle for gramps? sure!! give him 2 just to keep his hands active while hes helpin with this thing

Okay all done? get out the plates and damper... eerr yer did cook that damper didnt yer? well get to it!!! come on this tucker about ready to eat!! strewth Grampaw put the flamin beer down and give the nipper a hand eh?!

Okay now the dampers done and ready did anyone tell yer NOT to cut that damper with a stainless knife? no? well DONT!!! break it open with yer fingers! okay so here we go

Plates at the ready? beer at the ready? stew at the ready? damper at the ready? what have we forgotten???

OOOOhhh right the galah, kookaburra, parrot or crow... never mind that for now... you will know its about right if yer watch gramps when he beins to slowly stagger and his speach slurrs real bad an he starts to hiccup a lot the tuckers ready... Ohhh and remember!!! Keep a bottle of Aussie amber fluids of the gods in each hand!!

Okay now ladle some of that mmmmmmmmmgrumblintummblyflaminyummmmmooohhh tucker into the plates big ladling for each here!! now a good sized chunk of damper and a spoon of buddah on the top... a fine bottle of Aussie brew and yer about ready

The peice de resisance!!! tada! drum roll please....

Toss the bloody bird into the trash and hoe into the stew! cant eat them things anyways taste like 100 year old shoe leather... yuk pooo hakk!
