Bush Tucker Down Under

Friendship Force Group at Boston Brewery




Bush Tucker Platter with Tasty Morsels
 
Smoked Kangaroo filet, Roo Burger, Crocodile Bites, Lemon Myrtle with Anise Scones - these were some of the Bush Tucker (Food) Taste a Platter items we tried at the Bush Food Factory.  We liked most everything, but the enthusiastic nod went to the Smoked Kangaroo - a bit like good ole Texas BBQ!

After the tastings we toured the farm and greenhouses looking at the unusual plants.  Claudia is a Swiss national who came to the area for a better future.  She and her husband are researching the best Bush plants for commercial use.  Afterwards, we went to the Boston Brewery for beer and an adjacent wine tasting room.  We toured the little village of Denmark, where our host, Maggie, was born.  That evening we attended a birthday celebration for one of the Albany Friendship Force members, Keith.  His wife made us a wonderful dinner and a great time was had by all!
