Rare Kangaroo Cooked Underground!! Aboriginal Earth Oven in Australia!!

In this video we are hunting and cooking Australia's iconic

kangaroo

. This will actually be my first

kangaroo

trial. Let's get to it, but first let's talk about Aboriginal cuisine again. The Aboriginal people were the original inhabitants of this land and their language, culture and recipes date back thousands of years. I've seen a lot of Tampa. I've never seen it as flatbread

cooked

on the cob. This is how Damba was made long before any European set foot on this continent. The aborigines hunted kangaroos and prepared them. in incredible ways about another hour we're about to reveal the bush and we're going to see if it's fully

cooked

today.

I am on a mission to learn more about ancient Aboriginal cuisine. Do you think there are any restaurants that serve kangaroo? stomach anywhere and even more so to taste the kangaroo meat inside, you had to choose a body part that was your favorite, what would it be? I'll also try some other unexpected dishes, since everything cooked looks like this. It's, but we'll know in a minute, it all starts with a welcome meal, but considering we're doing this whole series of Australian food without going to a single restaurant, our protein has to be sourced the old fashioned way, one of the largest settlers. .

I've seen Elijah, an Australian Aboriginal man with experience in killing wildlife and turning it into food. I was just looking for a bush turkey, but we couldn't find one, we stopped there and saw it just kept walking, so we got it. this is the goanna this is a yellow spotted monitor lizard a land dweller with a sleek scaly body these are Aboriginal favorites cooked now as they would have been generations ago with no seasonings or unmarinated herbs here it's all about perfect and precise application of heat well done with hunting very humble Elijah, what are you doing now?

Just stand on the top skinless layer so it cooks properly in the ground. What do you like about this meat? Probably the best meat you can ever eat. kangaroo better than a kangaroo, okay, can't wait, it will be a great lunch. An

earth

oven

is built by digging a hole, scattering some hot ashes, placing the animal on top, and then burying it just below the

earth

, adding another layer. of embers on top and then let the Earth do its magic. The aroma emanating from the locally turned Gowana is a sure indication of its preparation. Once cooked, the Gowana is placed on a bed of wavy leaves to cool while the dirt is cleaned.

I like that there's like two Allen wrenches here holding the legs back, that's what you call Innovation joining our food Clint and Jaden, both with Aboriginal Roots while we're here in Western Australia, Clint will guide us through a myriad of experiences out of the ordinary gastronomic, generally when I see them, I recognize them as iguanas, but here they are called something else, we call them going when the aborigines first learned the word iguana, we simply discard the eye and turn it into iguana Guana, yes , now we will cut the spine, oh, it's definitely soft, it looks like pork belly or something.

I thought it would be dry but it is greasy. There is some kind of residual soup inside made of all the meat and organs that are left, are there organs in there? Oh yes, it's the liver and lungs. that's the fat, oh yeah, now you're ripping off the tail, yeah, oh, that's really pure white, oh boy, it looks like chicken breast, but even whiter, and you eat the skin? No, the skin is really hard, too hard, right? Put some in your buffer and eat them together. Damda is an incredibly dense staple food that became popular among colonial ranchers looking for a quick way to make bread.

All you need is flour, self-rising flour and water. Shape it into a round loaf and stir it. embers, you know, I have seen red charcoal cooked before in India, in fact, they take cow dung, dried cow dung, oh, it has no smell, then after it cools a little, they will throw it in there, cover it and then it will be cooked completely. I see you have a lot of manure around here. Yeah, how about you burn it? So no, no, not just to keep bugs away. Should we try it? Greetings, Greetings, a little fishy, ​​the fat has a little fishiness to it, it's like chicken but more succulent, it's like it has a barbecue flavor, like a little smoky, yes, a little smoky, the bread that I would die for who hunted this bread.

You can see why there is so much. hype about this, you know, you can feel it from these guys, it was going to be really good, they really had a lot of faith in it and you can't just walk into a restaurant and order this, it takes work, you have to take a look at it, so when you eat this kind of food is earned thank you Elijah thank you Elijah where did Elisha go now? We're in Sherlock, a small rural outpost on the outskirts of the not-so-bustling town of Karatha. This is our traditional land. Our family has lived here for up to 60,000 years or more and this type of food is what sustains our people and it's fantastic that even though we live in a modern time, we can go to the supermarket and buy meat, vegetables and things that we still have. the ability to go out into the countryside and hunt like our ancestors did, except we would do it a little bit easier with rifles and stuff these days, but the technique with which we cook it and all that is still the same for Aboriginal people.

They are the original inhabitants of this land with a history dating back thousands of years. The arrival of British settlers in the 18th century had a profound and devastating effect on Aboriginal communities. This group that once represented 100% of the island's population now only represents 3.3 percent. Today, many still reside in rural areas in cities where they can maintain their traditions. I have seen many guanas. There's no way I can hunt one. It is completely illegal. Oh, since wild game like goanna or kangaroo have been part of the Aboriginal diet for a long time. For thousands of years their hunting practices are recognized and permitted by Australian authorities, only indigenous Australians are allowed to hunt certain animals, but when you are in our presence you can be part of those foreign waterfalls, the seemingly limitless horizon is shrouded in darkness .

As Jaden takes us deeper into the countryside, Elijah and I have been given the crucial task of spotting our prey, so I have a flashlight. Am I looking for a kangaroo or just like the reflection of the eyes? You will see the whole body glowing once he turned his head towards you, his eyes have been shining towards you and he is not going to jump, it depends on how much noise you make when approaching. You usually hunt in this vehicle, any car, any car, it's like, yeah, Tesla, no, or maybe next time, yeah. you love the muscular as we grow up, if you see a kangaroo with jelly, let it be because that's a thing you know, oh you try not to shoot any females, yes, but how can you tell at night when they're so far away?

They pout, you'll see the bag, is it illegal to hunt the females? Actually I'm not, we just think 100 because Soul can reproduce more you know we want more kangaroo meat for tomorrow yeah we have it on the road on the way as we approach the kangaroo Jaden turns off the car engine to avoid scaring to the animal right there right there up there, up, up, come on, it's gone, ah, damn hell, Mr. Big Kangaroo, there now, what happened? You have spirit. Too much noise if they are. Moving at that pace, can you still hit it? Do you have any chance?

No, that's why we whistle at them to get their attention, they will really stop, yes, do you prefer the bigger ones or the smaller ones? The smaller ones I find the meat to be softer. that one looked big and ripped it was like kangaroos rock wait wait wait wait hey come on it's gone no you got it right yeah wow mate oh my god I'm running in hot mud oh right on the heart, simply dead. the pleasant and fresh impact did not destroy the stomach there is a good male but the one you want to hunt holy cow the red kangaroo also known as the plain kangaroo is the largest marsupial in the world it is crazy to see something like this because it is a beautiful animal and they have a body amazing looking on these big ears like a dog gigantic thick Achilles Big paws and old giant feet then this strong powerful tail to balance how old do you think this one is four years old?

Excellent photo, by the way. very patient because he was about to escape behind a bush and you just waited until you got the perfect shot and you did it right, so before rifles, before flashlights, before trucks, a thousand years ago how would they get Your ancestors would build kangaroos? a wall and they used to win when the wind blows they stand behind the wall so they sent to stop the kangaroo and then they will speed up if they are drinking the water so they will have to build a wall next to the water yeah otherwise contrary They used to win the wind that blows that way they will come they did a lot of work okay let's get back to it well done foreign man it's the next day and the excitement is in the air a group of skilled hands are working hard digging a hole setting fire to the firewood and heating stones to prepare for our feast, our cooking areas are located in an ancient isolated river basin, far from civilization, as Clint and I head there with a kangaroo in tow, we stumble upon an unexpected surprise, this is wild we were just going down the road and out of nowhere the car in front of us hit a kangaroo and it's right here right now it died instantly yeah how often do you see that happen?

It's actually a common thing, especially in cities where there's a lot of traffic is this real root different from yesterday, yeah, so it's a different species. This one is called Euro, also known as wallarus. It's more of a kangaroo that lives in the hills compared to the other one that lives on the plane. It's between a wallaby and a kangaroo, yes. while the room, yes, it is meat, a distant cousin of the legendary red kangaroo and a real Australian fighter, shorter and stockier, they are perfect for a high-stakes hug or, in this case, serving a hungry crowd, no we especially want to waste animals. if it just died a lot of times my people will pick it up and we'll take it and cook it so we just got to the cooking zones and at this point we have two kangaroos so we're going to cook them both luckily we have basically everyone Clint's family here helping about 10 people at work cook it together.

Now they are lighting a big fire to have a big pile of coals and then all of that will cook

underground

. but we also have some special sides cooked by Clint's mother. Wait until you see this, like many cultures in history. The cooking style of the Aboriginal people reflects their nomadic lifestyle. The process must be fast, efficient and may not require complex tools, but the end. The product has to be tasty. In the end, an incision is made in the stomach where the organs are removed. The organs will not be buried but will be used shortly.

Now the hot stones are placed as much as possible inside the body. Once complete, the tails are sutured. of kangaroo are cut and then tied tightly now it is time for the rulers to descend to their final resting place here, men who have done this many times before find the delicate balance between hot sand, ashes and more sand, which ensures that the heat is well distributed in just two. hours that both kangaroos must be cooked completely. I'm counting on our expert cooks to ensure that none of these animals die in vain, but I'm still keeping my fingers crossed in the meantime, Jaden makes quick use of the freshly harvested liver, so here we have kangaroo liver.

Is that a heart too? Yes, very pretty and you just throw it on the charcoal and it's ready to eat, done, but do you ever eat it raw? Yes, just half a bun. Great, should we get hard first? I like the heart, what kangaroo is this? It's from the simple kangaroo oh, I like it, it has a little bit of dirt to give it texture, a little bit of salt in yours. Greetings. Regards, a little bit of Shannon, be careful with that, although it will polish your teeth, it is a fairly neutral flavor. I was hoping it would be really juicy.

It almost has a certain acidity. I've never had such a weird heart before. It's so soft. Should we try it live? Yeah, oh wow, this looks more twisted. Cheers. Crunchy sand. Soft medium-cooked. They separate as you run your teeth through them, something buttery, like a really soft, different texture, it just melts in your mouth. I'm usually a serious crime, that the liver is actually better than the heart is driving me crazy, the liver is not. the only prized organ at the moment Gloria, Clint's mother, is preparing a traditional opal dish using the kangaroo stomach, cuts the kidneys, spleen and liver into pieces, adds some normally tender kangaroo loins, mixes well with chopped onions, potatoes, garlic powder, salt, pepper and oil, now everything that should be transferred to the stomach, let me show you the first blood that goes down to fill the bottom up,so that the end of the skin runs along the bottom and then you pull the stomach back inside itself to prevent it from spilling out, then secure it closed. with a stick and roast it over ashes so that it hardens and secures the shape of the stomach, wrap it in aluminum foil and place it inside in a quick

oven

2 with heat hitting it from below and from above and observe that the kangaroo has to repair itself from the same way every time

underground

, but with the organs there is more flexibility, right, yes, and if you are not cooking the organs inside the stomach, what are you doing with them?

We can put them in stews, fry them and just make a buffer and eat it like that, sounds good. but this is the biggest shock absorber I have ever seen. I've only seen two, although I cut it in half and there are like big, beautiful, thick pieces of everything all mixed together. What's so amazing about the stomach? Cooking is when it's hot it contracts and tightens everything. I guess sausage is like a cake or something. Do you think it's more like a cake or like a brown sausage? It's like cake to me. Oh, the Australians are plotting against me. you put it on top of the bread, yes we do, here we go, let's try it well, it's delicious, the meat is beautifully steamed.

I love the way it is cooked everywhere, usually when I see people you know cooking outdoors. You could just put the heat on the bottom, but they have the heat on the top, they have the heat on the bottom, and it creates sort of a steam convection oven inside. This is a heavy meal and the moisture is so thick I don't think you can eat a couple more. Slices of bread so dense and then rich strong meat so I got a little bit of the stomach skin which is rubbery, we like it chewy, yeah it's a great mix of textures.

Where did you learn this recipe from my mother? her from her mother since you were a child until now there are people who eat less game meat are you eating less game meat? No, I love my games. Most of my people still eat our game meat. Before my grandmother died, she was always looking forward to it. There is always a kangaroo, so we will have to go hunting and specifically a bitter kangaroo. Wow, it's amazing. I love it. It's still a great thing. You know, it's not like ordering a pizza. No no. It takes a little more investment.

Yes, a lot of work, a lot of effort, but once you've cooked it and you do it right, the food, as you can see, is quite delicious. After two hours of constant anticipation, it's time to dig out the kangaroos, the cooked marsupials. They are placed on a The tangle of swaying leaves in everyone's mind the question of whether we succeeded or failed. There's only one way to find out what looks good. This is how it's supposed to look. Yes, they look like that volcano that erupted and everyone said: No. And then they. They were frozen forever and put in a museum, okay, yes, they look like this and the smell that comes out of here is like a thick, gamey vapor, it's also like a mixture of burnt meat, burnt hair and cooked meat, it would be the worst Yankee candle.

Do you ever know Yankee Candles? No, no, it's okay, I'm sorry, we have two kangaroos here, which one is the one that was shot yesterday. This is a simple kangaroo, oh wow, it's basically getting into the thigh, which is much juicier than me. I thought looking at the house it looks amazing right, the musculature is like no other animal I've seen before, it just goes in every other direction, you can see the striations of the meat, it's well cooked, medium

rare

, that's how you should cook it, oh. that's very spicy and looks quite chewy and super lean, let's try a strange jumping animal, it's somehow gushy, but there's no discernible fat here at all.

I think venison is probably the most accurate comparison because it has that kind of wild flavor, this is one of the least juicy game you can get. I totally agree that meat is cut into pieces and shared with everyone, from the succulent leg meat, juicy tenderloins, tender ribs and tasty shoulders, wow, good game. I'm saying this is from the kangaroo that was hit by a vehicle definitely harder and a little more fun a nuance of sheep flavor each new creature brings with it a new experience sometimes you can compare it to a different animal sometimes you can't and this is not I didn't know what to expect either, but the way it is cooked and the fact that it just came off the heat, the mouthfeel is still very tasty, sure each cut has its own unique texture and flavor, but there is one part that everyone is clamoring for the kangaroo tail and I I'm about to find out why Gloria, yes, do you have room left in your belly?

No I don't think so, no you don't think so, it's okay, Andrew and I can take over and then we have a bit of a queue here, it's not the strangest thing. piece of meat is hair there is skin there is fat there is a bone in the middle as if we were eating oxtail soup what you do is simply remove the skin and then you take a bite of the meatiest part of the meat do you like this part? from the fan, yeah omg that's so good, it's so tender, the fat just melts, man it's like it's covered in butter, this is a world of food.

I didn't know anything about it. I knew that people who ate kangaroo in Australia, I guess they would like it. He grinds up the meat and maybe puts it in a burger or something, but keeping Tails serving them whole isn't what I expected, it's a little surreal because I've had kangaroo before at the supermarket, but I've never tried anything like this. cola, that's for sure you know that you could serve that in any restaurant this day it has been fascinating to be able to talk to you about food but also about your culture and where you come from throughout Australia how many different indigenous groups there are the aborigines are not one Before the Europeans arrived, It is believed that there were over 500 different Aboriginal plants, even today there are over 350 across the continent and Western Australia has over 124.

Clint's family and their Greater Community are a cross between the well-known Narluma and Yinji Barnd peoples. for its history of hunting and different forms of art such as cave paintings. What do you think makes your people's food so unique? It's the most Australian food you can get. It is actually from the Australian continent. You won't find it anywhere else on the planet. How has life been? changed for the Aboriginal community here from when you were a child until now, when I was a child, we used to go out all the time in the Bush, but today it's different, it's the drugs, the alcohol, that affects the majority of our people and you already know the diet. soda, cold drinks, sweet things, that's why most of us don't reach a certain age, they get diabetes or heart attacks and things like that, and most of it is because of convenience, you know, we can drive in a car, we can buy. at the store we can get takeout and all that kind of stuff, so for us in this area we try to balance our diet with our traditional diet as well as what we eat in this modern environment, you know, so at least Gloria, if you were the president of Korata, what could be done differently to help start this problem of these addictions that people face?

Is there any solution for that? I guess there is no solution, but there could be. prevention I would enter some data or any indigenous people who go to prison will be rehabilitated on the land and will be able to hunt instead of being sent to rehabilitation focusing on rehabilitation instead of just punishment. Yes, that's exactly right, that's beautiful, thank you too. Glory for joining us, thank you, it was a pleasure talking to you and tomorrow we will have many more in the store, boom, okay, we are in the water. I can't see anything, how the hell did you see this best Eliza meal you've ever shown? is a small team of independent creators and everything we do here works because of you, click the link in our description to join our patreon and receive exclusive benefits.

Peace is so simple, although it has a little flavor, but no. It's not like when you eat a Kobe steak or something. I don't think we have the fattiest animals to the leanest. I don't know what happened with the bullet situation when I'm lying on the ground considering the fact that you try to shoot without bullets, yeah, you kept your composure pretty well, hey, I know, Nora, perfect, oh, it's salty, dude, My mouth is actually watering, can I tell you this looks way better than Vegemite? It is much better shock absorber than Vegemite. Cake is my new favorite cake.

I feel like it's a number, okay, so meat is a cake, but cake is what you're telling us, it's this meat, it's bread, yes, but it's doughy because it's dense, it's doughy, it doesn't have any sweetness. What did you do? get the pie this is meat wait, wait, did you say no? You use it when you know you are in a logic. How often do you get one of these? I like it often, but yeah, other people don't get it that often, that's just how it is. Look at other people, Elijah is basically saying "suck it" in a very humble way, what you're saying Elijah, yeah, of all the things you can hunt, how many different species there are, there are tons of species.

I understand that heaps is a quantifiable Australian measure. it means more than 10, yes, more than 20. a good amount, yes, but the most precious part of the kangaroo is the tail and let's try it next, okay, come on, oh guys, that's the end of our first video here in Australia I hope you enjoy it because we have much more to come. Many thanks to my friend Andrew. Thank my Lord. You can see Andrew's work on his YouTube channel. Here is the name. You can see it right now. the food from him Focus Series about the cartoon people of Vietnam, otherwise guys, that's it for this.

Thanks so much for looking. See you next time, okay, yeah, I just want to, I want to eat more cola, I want to get cola, that's where that thing is. comes from something like "let's get some tails". I don't think it's the same type of tail. I mean, both towels are great, although actually yeah, maybe it's just a tail. I want both.
