Hi @lilygolightly, Once upon a time, I lived with a lady, and she only fed me vegan food, so I only ate vegan. While we were together I didn't buy take-away other than blueberries for when I was driving, and didn't miss meat or dairy at all.
Alone again, I reverted to my mum and grandma's teachings in the kitchen. I had spent a lot of time in my youth on detention duties around the kitchen. I'm sorry to say I eat anything placed in front of me when hungry. Bush tucker to tortes. It's not that I wouldn't eat vegan or macrobiotic, but it's too difficult to remember sizes and constituent nutrients in shopping to eat without depriving myself of some important factor, which I basically don't have to even think about on grandma's balanced diet. I eat very little meat or dairy, but was raised so, and have reduced both, to where my Dr is always reminding me to eat more beans and/or steak. I do wish I had payed better attention when younger, but we all have our karma, no worries. I reckon too, you Are missing out, to not enjoy some snake. 😇

Nice to hear your views @simon62 thanks for your comments!
Unless I am ever stranded in the Australian outback, my chances of eating snake are seriously limited. Which is probably a VERY good thing! Heck, the only wild snake I have ever seen was up in the Scottish highlands on a remote road that had VERY limited traffic on it. I walked this along this road for 6 hours and not one single car passed me by or drove its length.
Imagine my surprise then to encounter an adder, or viper, in the middle of this lonely lane! But alas this slippery sucker had extremely poor timing. It had decided to cross the road at precisely the same time as the only car passed by, and it was, as flat as the proverbial pancake squished by a tyre, and summarily despatched to its very own Garden of Eden in the sky!!
Fascinated, and bemused at the fate of this luckless adder, I took a closer look. The diamond pattern of its scales reflected in the sunshine and in death its little fangs were revealed, needle sharp. Since it is so rare to have such a view, in relative safety, I inspected them closely...sure enough at the moment of death it had released some of its venom.
On later reflection I concluded that the hapless reptile had probably decided to warm its chilly blood, and bask in the summer sun in precisely the one spot where the car with its name on it, would later send it to whatever heaven snakes go to!
Looking forward to reading more about your Australian adventures and wishing you full steem ahead in 2018⭐️
