Categories: Five, Game, Exotics

     1    Monitor lizard tail;

     1 lg Egg
          Breadcrumbs
          Olive oil; to fry

 The Australian monitor lizard - more commonly called the
 goanna - has an important place in Aboriginal culture
 and medicine and in Australian folklore. It also,
 apparently, makes good eating. The tail is said to be
 the best part, and - not surprisingly- is said to taste
 like chicken, or like fish, or sweeter and more juicy
 than rabbit.

 The simplest bush recipe for cooking goanna was to roast
 it in the ashes, so that that when the ashes were
 brushed off, the skin came with it, and the flesh was
 then ready to eat.

 Scald and skin the tail of a goanna. Cut into 3" slices.
 Dip in egg and bread crumbs, and fry quickly to a golden
 brown. Olive oil is the best to fry in, but some do not
 like the flavour of olives.
