Seriously, where did they find these “tour guides” so unrealistic. Australians don’t use slang like ‘dead horse’ for tomato sauce. It may be in the urban dictionary as slang but it’s not a true representation of Australia.

I wouldn't be too sensitive. To be fair the meat fillings are usually combinations of several proteins and tallow that can vary between restaurants.

But that lady should not be giving bullshit information. Yes the kangaroo gets overpopulated because of the conditions created by agriculture, and yes at times those numbers damage crops, but kangaroos are not feral pests they are a native animal, if she doesn’t know that perhaps she should learn that first before acknowledging indigenous people, theirs more to their culture than just saying I acknowledge them

Just wanted to clarify. Kangaroos are NOT a feral pest, they are a native animal to Australia. They form an integral part of the ecosystem in Australia. I studied environmental science and work in conservation and land management in Australia. It is true that eating kangaroo in Australia is a more sustainable form of meat than beef. Actual feral animals introduced to Australia that are non native and overgraze landscapes include rabbits, goats, deer, pigs and a few others. I absolutely love your videos Mark and watch them religiously. Since I live in Australia, I did think that the choices of food places for this episode were a bit average. To end on a positive note, I’m happy you are in oz and creating content here!

Overpriced yuppy food. Go to a local bakery and get a pie. Local fish and chip shop for a dimmy. Local pub for a proper counter meal. Honestly, I don't know a single person who eats kangaroo, wallaby, emu, croc or green ants. This episode was simply a hipster showing off.....hardly what 99% of the population eats.

Deer, cats, pigs, goats, horses and camels are feral and destroy our landscape and native ecosystems. Kangaroo is also one of the most lean proteins around, with a 2% fat profile!

In some regions of Australia, kangaroos are considered a pest species due to their large population size and potential impact on agricultural land. However, the status of kangaroos as a pest varies depending on the location and the specific circumstances. For example, in some areas where kangaroo populations have been reduced due to hunting or habitat loss, they may be considered a protected species rather than a pest. In regions where kangaroos are considered a pest, management strategies such as culling or relocation may be implemented to reduce their impact on crops and grazing lands. However, there is often debate about the effectiveness and ethics of these strategies. Overall, the status of kangaroos as a pest species is complex and depends on a range of factors. Some evidence of their classification as pests can be found in government policies and management plans, as well as academic research on their impact on ecosystems and agriculture.

"What is a *bogan* in Australia? (remember this word) Bogan. (Noun) An uncouth or uncultured person, usually.

As an Aussie who grew up in Thailand (หัวใจไทยหน้าฝรั่ง), I have to say that a huge amount of the things you taste in this video (although they seem DELICIOUS) are "Melbourne Hipster" / "High Art" cuisine. Most Australians, sadly, do NOT eat Kangaroo and Emu that often (even though it's readily available), it's most CERTAINLY not available at most pubs (the Chicken Parmy with Kangaroo looks amazing, but 75% of pubs in Australia just serve a classic Chicken Parmy), and even the "Dim Sim" you tried is basically "Gourmet" / for tourists. I do hope you get the chance to ACTUALLY try what REGULAR Australian people try on the reg - including something like Phad Thai or Gaeng Keow Wan! :D Also - when that girl says that Kangaroos are a "Feral Pest" my blood nearly boiled off the stove. They are NATIVE ANIMALS. The only reason they are "PESTS" is because they invade farms growing EUROPEAN crops, because naturally those are an incredible source of food. To call them "PESTS" is to equate them with introduced species, which is not only deeply offensive and insulting, it's just plain wrong. To call them "Feral" also - is completely uneducated, since these species are native to the Australian continent. I appreciate her hospitality and kindness, but rest assured, the experience she provided to you of "Authentic Australian Cuisine" was highly skewed to a highly educated, affluent, and WHITE demographic very specific to MELBOURNE only. I appreciate that it was delicious and enlightening, but you need to know that this woman's outlook represents less than 10% of the entire population. Crikey - you could interview and follow the average Asian or Indian Australian and get a far more authentic experience than this inner city elite haute cuisine tour of "Australian Cuisine". Did you notice that the sign above the South Melbourne Market also said "Selamat Datang" in Malay/Bahasa for tourists? There's a reason for that. Even the "Dim Sims" you ate were WAAAAY more "bougie" than what the average Australians' experience of a "Dim Sim" is. EDIT : I"ve also NEVER SEEN a "Bogan Burger", and the way it is basically a hipster burn and insult to the working class is not lost on me. EDIT 2 : I also GUARANTEE you that less than ONE PERCENT of Australians have tried a "Wallaby Tartare with Egg Yolk". อาหารนี้ "ไฮโซ"

I grew up working class in Melbourne and I'd disagree on one point. The South Melbourne Market dim sims, meat pie, and jam donuts are extremely commonplace. Remember that South Melbourne (and their markets) only became gentrified very recently, but those three dishes haven't changed one bit in decades. My boomer parents would say the same. Sofia's enthusiasm & general knowledge was very good, but I did wish they included least one POC tour guide or talk a little more in depth to a POC chef. Especially at the Aboriginal restaurant. Though on another comment Mark did mention going to Sydney so hopefully he meets some more diverse locals there. And hoping he actually goes to the outback as well to see traditional food in traditional contexts, and to hear some stories.
