they taste better than wallabies.

(xpost: KOALAS. vegemite tastes like shit.)

OH MY GOD DID I REALLY JUST TYPE KOALA'S I MUST COMMIT SUICIDE NOW

― the surface noise (electricsound), Friday, 30 January 2004 02:29 (twenty-one years ago)

they are in my book. cuddly koala bears. so there.
no need to die over a misplaced apostrophe, man (well...hmmm)

― Orbit (Orbit), Friday, 30 January 2004 02:30 (twenty-one years ago)

They also make a hot beverage from the cute lil' critters. That's the specialty of the tiny town of Mercy, Australia. So...this couple of traveling epicures makes their way across the outback to the remote hamlet to try it. They ask around, and are directed to a cafe where they are assured, "Yes, we really do make a sort of tea from koalas." They order it, wait a while, and are presented with two mugs of steaming brew. But there are big chucks of gristly animal flesh floating in their cups. Slightly revolted, they call the waiter over to inquire whether this is proper. He looks at them and says...

"The koala tea of Mercy is not strained."

(I've waited half my life for an occasion to tell that joke.)

― Marcel Post (Marcel Post), Friday, 30 January 2004 02:30 (twenty-one years ago)

yeah you're right. on second thought they are nasty, useless creatures who just cling to trees in order to get high. make tea from them. squeeze it out of their little ungrateful ears. just do it.

― Orbit (Orbit), Friday, 30 January 2004 02:32 (twenty-one years ago)

it's about time someone sees koalas like we australians do

― the surface noise (electricsound), Friday, 30 January 2004 02:33 (twenty-one years ago)

that would be never?

― mullygrubber (gaz), Friday, 30 January 2004 03:03 (twenty-one years ago)

it's true, gaz.
i really still think koalas are cuddly and cute. i take it back.
they are cuddly koala bears!
(sorry esoj, i simply could not resist the cuteness)

i don't find koalas to be all that cute. the baby ones are a bit... but the beady eyes of adult koalas kinda freak me out. blinky bill was cute though.

WHAT'S THAT FREAKY THING ON THE RIGHT! AAAAAAH!

It looks like something from War of the Worlds.

― Johnney B (Johnney B), Friday, 29 October 2004 07:17 (twenty-one years ago)

hahaha that's the magic pudding!!

it's an australian children's book written and illustrated in the 1930s by the late norman lindsay, who was an artist of some note.

i can't remember the story exactly, but he was a grumpy pudding who was never ending and if the characters in the story spun him around a few times and said a rhyme he would be any flavour they wanted. it is a lovely book, i read it many times as a child.

― gem (trisk), Friday, 29 October 2004 07:19 (twenty-one years ago)

altough norman should have included a few pictures of curvaceous water nymphs

― bulbs (bulbs), Friday, 29 October 2004 07:24 (twenty-one years ago)

i love norman lindsay's pictures, be they nymphs puddings wacky sailors penguins and dapper koalas or otherwise

― gem (trisk), Friday, 29 October 2004 07:28 (twenty-one years ago)

you can go to his house and pay to have a picnic.

― bulbs (bulbs), Friday, 29 October 2004 07:48 (twenty-one years ago)

i don't think i would like to do that

― gem (trisk), Friday, 29 October 2004 07:53 (twenty-one years ago)

well, you get to walk through his house and look at the pictures on the wall and then you can go into the garden with the nymph statues. we took champaigne.

― bulbs (bulbs), Friday, 29 October 2004 07:54 (twenty-one years ago)

is it beautiful? i imagine it as some kind of rambling funny old house with all sorts of odd rooms tacked onto it and a shady garden with lots of hydrangeas. one day i think i would like to own some of his pictures though, i like the dreamy kind of nature of them (notice use of highly technical arty terms)

― gem (trisk), Friday, 29 October 2004 07:56 (twenty-one years ago)

it was 20 years ago gem, but yes i do remember it as like that.

― bulbs (bulbs), Friday, 29 October 2004 08:07 (twenty-one years ago)

ah, i am getting nostalgic. must have taco

― bulbs (bulbs), Friday, 29 October 2004 08:12 (twenty-one years ago)

don't put koala in it gaz i reckon they'd be horribly tough

― gem (trisk), Friday, 29 October 2004 08:22 (twenty-one years ago)

also too big

For some reason, the idea of eating a koala seems very ick anyway. Now, pass me another kangaroo kebab.

― edward o (edwardo), Friday, 29 October 2004 08:33 (twenty-one years ago)

how about baked? like a chicken.

― bulbs (bulbs), Friday, 29 October 2004 08:35 (twenty-one years ago)

I don't have a vessel large enough to do a koala in. I roast my chicken in a tiny skillet thing.

― edward o (edwardo), Friday, 29 October 2004 08:37 (twenty-one years ago)

ew. imagine popping a whole koala in the oven in a roasting pan all trussed up. and koala gravy. ewwwww. *shudders*

― gem (trisk), Friday, 29 October 2004 08:37 (twenty-one years ago)

koala gravy

Oh god. That is the most disgusting thing imaginable. I will never eat anything ever again.

― edward o (edwardo), Friday, 29 October 2004 08:41 (twenty-one years ago)

sorry edward. please don't starve, it will be all my fault!! with some help from the koalas though. i always knew there was something sinister about them.

― gem (trisk), Friday, 29 October 2004 08:42 (twenty-one years ago)

yes. those beady eyes.

they know something. about the land. about our history. about what has happened.

― the music mole (colin s barrow), Saturday, 30 October 2004 21:42 (twenty-one years ago)

For some reason, the idea of eating a koala seems very ick anyway.

The fact that they're about 90% cyanide would make you feel a bit ick too.

― Core of Sphagnum (Autumn Almanac), Saturday, 30 October 2004 22:27 (twenty-one years ago)

I had kangaroo steaks a couple of weeks ago at my mum's. They were fucking awesome.

― papa november (papa november), Saturday, 30 October 2004 22:52 (twenty-one years ago)

I'm going off me kangaroo. Don't enjoy it as much as I used to. Perhaps it's not being cooked right.

I'm still well into my crocodile though. Crocodile rocks.

― the music mole (colin s barrow), Saturday, 30 October 2004 22:54 (twenty-one years ago)

The steaks were marinated in something which may have helped. I don't mind me some crocodile either. Seems quite tasty compared to some game meats.

Associated Press
DENVER -- A month after a woman accused Kobe Bryant of rape, she told a friend she was considering suing the NBA star in civil court and wanted to buy breast augmentation surgery and a koala bear with any award money, according to court documents released Friday.

Ned the Action-Packed Revivalist Brings You The Fucking Jams

― Tep (ktepi), Monday, 24 January 2005 01:08 (twenty years ago)

*bows* Believe it or not, Tep, I've spent this weekend working on a book proposal and helping a friend through a really miserable work/life situation, so thread revivalism is sorta the nice counterbalance. That and walks around outside, I think I'll take one now!

(But I admit I'm as pleased as punch that the vadge horror stories thread revived like there was no tomorrow.)

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Monday, 24 January 2005 01:13 (twenty years ago)

do you put kidney beans in koala tacos?

― gem (trisk), Monday, 24 January 2005 01:20 (twenty years ago)

The vadge horror story thread was honest to God the highlight of my weekend, and weirdly I spent the weekend working on a book proposal too, what the hell? (A friend who recently struck gold referred me to her agent, which is very cool.)

Not that I'm dissing koala tacos, of course.

― Tep (ktepi), Monday, 24 January 2005 01:22 (twenty years ago)

Would there be much usable meat on a koala? You'd have to, ahem, harvest them before they strip the gum trees in their area bare; there'd be a fairly tight window of opportunity to do so before they entered that whole "oh no, we're starving ourselves to death!" phase.

I reckon the wombat might be a safer bet for your Oz-Mex culinary experimentation, Ned.

― haitch™ (haitch), Monday, 24 January 2005 01:23 (twenty years ago)

Braise em like rabbit, I reckon. Cuteness likes moist heat.

― Tep (ktepi), Monday, 24 January 2005 01:26 (twenty years ago)

Don't they just eat eucalyptus leaves? That would be a weird-ass mentholated taco.

― Curious George Rides a Republican (Rock Hardy), Monday, 24 January 2005 01:29 (twenty years ago)

It's nature's way of saying "put as many onions in this taco as you want."

Nature has more to say about tacos than you might suspect.

― Tep (ktepi), Monday, 24 January 2005 01:30 (twenty years ago)

OR, or, follow me on this --

Pigs which become prosciutto di parma -> raised on whey from parmesan -> ham + cheese = tasty

Koalas which become koala meat -> eat eucalyptus -> mint + chocolate = tasty

Ergo

Koalas -> nature's meat chocolate

QED

― Tep (ktepi), Monday, 24 January 2005 01:32 (twenty years ago)

Forgetting one small thing:

Eucalyptus = cyanide -> eat -> DEATH OMG

― Autumn Almanac (Autumn Almanac), Monday, 24 January 2005 01:33 (twenty years ago)

Well, I do rather like those cherry-menthol-eucalyptus cough drops, so a piece of meat premarinated in eucalyptus...

― j.lu (j.lu), Monday, 24 January 2005 01:34 (twenty years ago)

Ferran Adria makes stuff with Fisherman's Friend cough drops! We need to get him to make us koala tacos.

― Tep (ktepi), Monday, 24 January 2005 01:35 (twenty years ago)

maybe iron chef could do a koala taco episode. might have to extend it to marsupial tacos to get a full show out of it i guess.

― gem (trisk), Monday, 24 January 2005 01:41 (twenty years ago)

I'd try koala, but EVERYBODY who has an opinion around here says possum is jes' plain nasty.

― Curious George Rides a Republican (Rock Hardy), Monday, 24 January 2005 01:42 (twenty years ago)

A friend who recently struck gold referred me to her agent, which is very cool

Hey, very nice. Hm, does this agent specialize in horror at all? (Just checking all options -- my book proposal is actually nonfiction but there are my other manuscripts.)

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Monday, 24 January 2005 01:49 (twenty years ago)

Genre fiction in general, I think -- Friend is writing a fantasy series, but I think the agent covers the gamut of the spinner-rack world.

― Tep (ktepi), Monday, 24 January 2005 01:52 (twenty years ago)

HMMM. Might e-mail you. But first and foremost, good luck with your proposal. :-) I have other avenues I'm pursuing as well.

Australian ketchup being the worst, as it is made out of wattles.

I must share this delicious recipe with you which I first tasted at a local Mon/Mex fusion restaurant on the weekend.

Parmesan Crumbed Koala
Kangaroo and emu work well in this recipe, but so will your favourite kind of koala.

Large egg 1 1
Milk 2 tsp. 10 mL

Fine dry bread crumbs (1/2 oz., 14 g) 3/4 cup 175 mL
Finely grated fresh Parmesan cheese 3 tbsp. 50 mL
Chopped fresh parsley (or 2 1/4 tsp., 11 mL, flakes) 3 tbsp. 50 mL
Salt, sprinkle

All-purpose flour 3 tbsp. 50 mL
Koala fillets (such as snapper), skinned 1 1/2 lbs. 680 g

Canola oil 1 1/2 tbsp. 25 mL

Beat egg and milk with fork in shallow dish.
Combine next 4 ingredients in separate shallow dish.
Measure flour onto sheet of waxed paper. Cut koala into 6 portions. Dredge koala in flour. Dip into egg mixture. Press into crumb mixture until coated.
Heat canola oil in large non-stick frying pan on medium. Add koala. Cook for about 3 minutes per side until koala is golden and flakes easily when tested with fork. Serves 6.

Oh... yeah... iof course, the snapper koala. I knew that. Yes, the snapper koala. Very tasty as only a land/sea koala can be.

We'd call it sloop and coop, or maybe even haddock and paddock, but yeah. And it's but a short step from eating our marsuipials to eating Ned. But we don't go there any more. We are civilised now.

I shouldn't do shit. I don't care about them they all could die and it won't affect my life. I know a lot about them but I don't need to think about them. They're just a waste of time koalas are stupid they don't help me with shit so why should I help them. If they all die there will be more room for the panthers and all the other hard animals. Koalas are weak a pit will get rid of their whole fucking family. That's why I don't like koalas.

Platypus would kind of have to be awesome.

― Laurel (Laurel), Thursday, 25 January 2007 20:34 (eighteen years ago)

Ah, but both the beaver and the duck have lots of subcutaneous fat, and a platypus is basically a duck made out of beaver, so it would all work out. The platypus is self-basting.

― Tep (ktepi), Thursday, 25 January 2007 20:36 (eighteen years ago)

― Tep (ktepi), Thursday, 25 January 2007 20:36 (eighteen years ago)

then the meat would be too greasy ... and hairy ... for tacos. plus, it won't have that eucalyptus-y flavor goodness that only koala taco meat can provide.
