Anybody here ever eaten a mutton bird??
At the bottom of the South Island (NZ) there is a smaller island called, Stewart Island, Where you get off the boat or Sea plane, (i think its call House Shoe bay)( or maybe Half Moon Bay) there is a pub, about 45 years ago when i was a little younger, my perants went into the pub for a beer after the very rough sea journey across the Bass straight, we as kids were left to find something to amuse ourselves with, next to the pub was a old bloke cooking and selling freshly court fish, he offerd my two sisters and i something to eat, my two sisters said no thanks, unfortunatly i have never been known to turn down food so without giving it a second thought i stuffed pieces of unbeknown to me, Mutton Bird in my mouth, i have never tasted anything as bad as a mouthfull of salt and oil, absolutly the most horrible thing ive ever tasted, 45 years later while im writing this i reacon i can still taste it.
