Earlier in the week, I visited a local Italian restaurant with a couple of friends and was pleasantly surprised to find a new dish on the specials menu — MACCHERONCINI NORMA.

It's rare these days to find an eating establishment that is willing to experiment with some of the more exotic meats. The waiter recommended an Australian (obviously) Shiraz which perfectly complemented the strong flavour of the aborigines.

For the truly adventurous, there's the Quattro Indigeno pizza, which has aborigine, maori, innuit and pygmy meat distributed generously among its four quarters.

And if you're wondering what aborigine tastes like, I can report that it tastes a lot like native american.
