Organic bush meat

Recommended Posts

I was thinking kangaroo or crocodile meat as I have a visitor from Australia coming soon (from near Perth). Is that not bush meat /bush tucker? What else does bush meat mean then? I think you can get farmed roo or croc meat, but I do like eating organic food generally, so I would prefer to get it organic if it is available.

"Bush meat" means wild meat, including monkeys, primates etc. There have been various rumours that you can buy this on Rye Lane, but no idea if they've ever been true. It's very illegal.


No idea about organic kangaroo/croc. But I can recommend iceland's kangaroo burgers, even if they don't say organic on them.

I think a butcher is really the wrong place for something like that, you'd be better off buying online. The seller should be able to tell you whether it's wild or farmed.


The point I was trying (perhaps badly) to make was that wild/game meat cannot be considered truly organic because it's not been fed a controlled diet.

    • Missing Cat! 11 months old/ Our friend, Coco, has gone missing. Last seen evening of 31st October near top of Henslowe rd where it meets Underhill Rd in SE22. We know she has started wandering up Friern Rd and further we guess but we imagine she has been spooked by Halloween / Fireworks goings on. She is a grey Siberian mix with some brown stripes down her, very friendly and likes to eat. Please let us know
    • That said, organised displays could be on Saturday before and after and the actual day, and private ones could just not have the loud ones.  It’s all down to accessibility and people caring/not caring
    • The problem this year is that 5th November falls on a Wednesday. So some places will be bringing their "bonfire night" forward to Saturday 1st and some will be knocking it back to Saturday 8th and there'll probably be a few that just go with Wednesday 5th anyway. If you're doing a public display, having it on a weekend gets more crowds. Which basically means a solid week of fireworks.
    • Fireworks in this area do feel totally incessant at this time of year, almost every evening there is terrible noise. I feel great concern for wildlife, pets (I have a senior cat who hates them), as well as people who struggle with PTSD etc. Last year I even had people setting them off in front of my home. Tonight and yesterday evening have been particularly bad. Is there anything we can do as a community to prevent this? What action can we take? Surely we shouldn’t be expected to just put up with it every year for weeks on end!
