You'd love it Frank. The Bugs are like small crayfish (lobsters), and the yabbies are just freshwater prawns. Crayfish are lobster, and prawns are shrimp, only much bigger, and they shouldn't taste like old socks. If they do, you take them back to the guy who sold them too you, and assault him with a suitable quantity of the now really smelly dead prawns.
Then of course there is the six squillion different types of fish, abalone, mussels, scallops, Ahhhh the list goes on. I'm off to a festical tomorrow on the Murray River that I have been really heavily involved with for the past 6 years. It's an Indigenous festival, and usually by about 6.00pm on the day, my mates and I are lying under the shade of a big old red gum tree, with a belly full of crocodile, emu, kangaroo, yabbies, king prawns and other delicacies from all over the place all cooked in the ground or on BBQ's. It's a dry event, so we have to wait until later to go to the pub and wash it all down. Rest assured though, we do wash it down with a vengeance. <VGB> Shaun Canning Archaeology Department La Trobe University Bundoora, Victoria, 3086.

It's the other delectibles that Shaun was talking about: "fresh crayfish, Moreton bay bugs, yabbies, and some nice fresh oysters", that I'd be worried about! But hell, as long as I'm drinking beer, I'll try almost anything!! <vbg> Just ask the women I've dated (oops - better not go ~there~). -frank -- "The optimist thinks this is the best of all possible worlds.
