  • 32. Game Meats II
    32. Game Meats II Peter Wynn and Nicole Spiegel Learning objectives On completion of this topic you should have an understanding of: • The commercial potential for species other than kangaroo and deer to contribute to the supply of animal protein for human food • Methods of farming and harvesting that are unique to each species. • Quality control and potential risks to human health associated with different species • The sources of information available on game meat production and factors influencing its quality. Key terms and concepts: • 1 Carcase composition and leanness • 2 Utilisation of exotic meat species • 3 Maintaining food hygiene standards • 4 Exploiting these resources to meet world demand for dietary protein. • 5 Animal health and the disease risk to humans 32.1 Introduction Alternative meat producing species Alternative meat producing species can often provide the required dietary nutrients for humans with the added benefit of offering some meat quality characteristics that are unique to that species: taste, flavour, colour, texture and favourable nutritional factors can all be important to the consumer. A selection of non-conventional and bush meat species, all of which have something different to offer, are detailed in this lecture. There are many more species utilised for their meat that will not be covered in these notes, such as: • In Australia: Brushtail possum, rabbits & hares, and wild horses & donkeys • Outside Australia: Grouse, partridges, pheasants, snipes, woodcock and wild ducks Just as the quality attributes of the meat these alternative species offer is important, so too is the health and disease risk and status of these species. Potential disease risks should always be taken into account when developing new and exotic meats for human consumption; this will become apparent in the following lecture material.

    The Globalization of Chinese Food ANTHROPOLOGY OF ASIA SERIES Series Editor: Grant Evans, University ofHong Kong Asia today is one ofthe most dynamic regions ofthe world. The previously predominant image of 'timeless peasants' has given way to the image of fast-paced business people, mass consumerism and high-rise urban conglomerations. Yet much discourse remains entrenched in the polarities of 'East vs. West', 'Tradition vs. Change'. This series hopes to provide a forum for anthropological studies which break with such polarities. It will publish titles dealing with cosmopolitanism, cultural identity, representa­ tions, arts and performance. The complexities of urban Asia, its elites, its political rituals, and its families will also be explored.

  • Chapter 6 Native Foods in Australian Restaurants
    Native Foods in 6 Australian Restaurants: How to ensure Indigenous Australians benefit? Freya Higgins-Desbiolles, Tricia Vilkinas, Gayathri Wijesinghe and Stuart Gifford Introduction “Many whitefellas just don’t realise that it’s so important to have Aboriginal people involved in the industry... If you lose that link between Aboriginal people and bush food, then you lose everything. It’s hollow. It’s nothing” Rayleen Brown (cited in Merne Altyerre-ipenhe et al., 2011:26). A recent news article carried the headline ‘who owns a plant?’ (Newton, 2016). This follows recent media interest in native foods, with headlines declaring ‘foraging is the new black’, ‘advance Australia fare’ and ‘an all- consuming quest for a native cuisine’. Celebrity chefs such as Jock Zonfrillo are feted for making the world’s oldest cuisine our trendiest (Sebag- Montefiore, 2015; Brearley, 2015; Lovitt, 2014). TheAustralian food industry is working to create brand identity through developing a unique national cuisine. As the Restaurant Australia tourism campaign demonstrates, the food sector can also deliver significant tourism branding opportunities for countries such as Australia (Tourism Australia, n.d.). The Australian cuisine of distinction is that based on native foods, and chefs such as Mark Olive, Clayton Donovan, Peter Gilmore, Andrew Fielke, Shannon Bennett, Kylie Kwong and Jock Zonfrillo are creating excitement by placing native or bush foods on their menus. Arguably, it is the emerging interest in local foods that 88 Indigenous Tourism has opened up the opportunity for renewed appreciation of native foods in Australia. Additionally, as sustainability and climate change emerge as serious concerns, native foods are promoted as more sustainable in terms of conserving biological diversity and more compatible with Australia’s fragile ecology.

Anthropologists and historians in particular view food consumption as ways of understanding cultural adaptation and social grouping. The food practices of a social grouping reveal rich dimensions of people's lives, indicating their sense of identity and their place within the wider community. As well, food is one of the most visible aspects of a community's cultural tradition. It is through food too that a social grouping "borrows" food practices and appropriate food items from other cultures to make them its own. This chapter intends to examine the ways in which cross-cultural links are fostered between nations through the food practices of their people.

  • LABELLING REVIEW RECOMMENDATION 40 Analysis of Primary Food Products That Do Not Require Country of Origin Labelling 1 Introduction
    LABELLING REVIEW RECOMMENDATION 40 Analysis of primary food products that do not require country of origin labelling 1 Introduction In 2009, the COAG Legislative and Governance Forum on Food Regulation (then the Australian and New Zealand Ministerial Council for Food Regulation) agreed to a comprehensive independent review of food labelling law and policy. An expert panel, chaired by Dr Neal Blewett, AC, undertook the review and the panel’s final report, Labelling Logic: Review of Food Labelling Law and Policy (2011) (Labelling Logic) was publicly released in January 2011. In Labelling Logic, the review panel recommended: That Australia’s existing mandatory country-of-origin labelling requirements for food be maintained and be extended to cover all primary food products for retail sale (recommendation 40). In the government response to recommendation 401, it was noted that at the time (December 2011), Food Standards Australia New Zealand (FSANZ) was assessing a proposal that would (if agreed) largely implement this recommendation by extending country of origin labelling requirements to unpackaged beef, veal, lamb, hogget, mutton and chicken. FSANZ was asked to continue its existing process for the proposal and to develop a further proposal to extend country of origin labelling to all other primary food products. It should be noted that most packaged primary food products currently require country of origin labelling. Following consideration of Proposal P1011 – Country of Origin Labelling – Unpackaged Meat Products, the FSANZ Board approved draft variations to Standard 1.2.11 – Country of Origin Labelling of the Australia New Zealand Food Standards Code (the Code) to extend country of origin labelling requirements to unpackaged beef, veal, lamb, hogget, mutton and chicken sold in Australia.

  • Timeline of the Australian Cuisine
    Teacher Information Timeline of the Australian Cuisine Before 1788 Indigenous Australians obtained their food by hunting and gathering. (Explore native Australian foods with your class to provide more detail on Indigenous food and cooking techniques.) 1788 The First Fleet arrived. They had flour, rice, salted meat, sugar, salt and seeds. First crops failed. Native foods were considered inedible. 1789 In the first year of European settlement at Port Jackson, adults received a weekly ration of 7 lb of flour, 7 lb of pork or beef, 3 pints of peas, 6 oz of butter and 1/2 lb rice. These rations were supplemented by any food the settlers could grow. Public gardens were planted at Farm Cove. 1830 First Greek settlers arrived. 1840 Many Chinese arrived. 1845 Meat canned in Australia and exported to Britain. 1849 Large cities have restaurants with a French influence despite Australia not having a large French Population. 1870 Railway systems became functional. 1871 Italians grew mulberries and olives. 1880’s First successful shipment of frozen meat to Britain. 1920-27 Thousands of Italians arrived and worked in sugar cane fields and mines, later worked in the food industry. 1939-45 US troops were in Australia and wanted beef, pork, sweet corn, orange juice, tomato and chili con carne. The US Military brought out technology to ‘renovate’ our food industry. 1945-55 Supermarkets, frozen foods and fast foods increased in availability and popularity. 1947 Migrants from European countries and the Middle East arrived and eventually opened restaurants some of them featuring their traditional cuisines. 1950 Chinese restaurants opened.

  • How to Eat AUSTRALIAN the Vast Country, Its Landscape Home to Thousands of Wild Edible Ingredients, Has No Clear Native Cuisine
    How to Eat AUSTRALIAN The vast country, its landscape home to thousands of wild edible ingredients, has no clear native cuisine. Chef Jock Zonfrillo wants to change all that. BY JAY CHESHES PHOTOGRAPHY BY DEREK HENDERSON NATURE’S BOUNTY Sweeping dunes, ringed by edible succulents, along the west coast of Australia. Chef Zonfrillo sources ingredients here for his restaurants in Adelaide. 91 Though he’s certainly at ease on camera, he’s most comfortable out of the limelight and far of the grid, as he is now, touring the Kimberley with Bruno Dann. Returning to Dann’s camp from their coast walk laden with seafood, the chef starts prep- ping dinner under a big wooden shelter, across from a picnic table and a fire pit shooting up brittle-wood flames. “I didn’t know we had these in Australia,” he says, prying open a giant clam, a flashlight strapped to his forehead illuminating his bush-kitchen work space. He transforms half the meat into an impromptu ceviche, then grills up the rest, yakitori- style, with his long surgical chef’s tongs. Dann and his partner in life and business, a trans- plant from Sydney named Marion Manson, harvest an orchard here that supplies wild lemongrass, narcoleptic jilungin tea and gubinge (also known as kakadu plum) to Zonfrillo. The tiny tart green plums, said to be among the most vitamin-C-rich fruits on earth, have become their big cash crop, distributed Australia-wide by a health-food wholesaler that sells a powdered form. The couple first met Zonfrillo seven years ago when he came rumbling up their bumpy dirt road, his Mitsubishi Outlander falling apart after a mostly unpaved 38-hour drive from Adelaide, two NoDoz- and-Red-Bull-fueled 19-hour shifts across the desert.
