 Categories: Five, Game, Exotics
      Yield: 2 servings

      1    Monitor lizard tail;
           - skinned
      1 lg Egg
           Breadcrumbs
           Olive oil; to fry

  The Australian monitor lizard - more commonly called the
  goanna - has an important place in Aboriginal culture
  and medicine and in Australian folklore. It also,
  apparently, makes good eating. The tail is said to be
  the best part, and - not surprisingly- is said to taste
  like chicken, or like fish, or sweeter and more juicy
  than rabbit.

  The simplest bush recipe for cooking goanna was to roast
  it in the ashes, so that that when the ashes were
  brushed off, the skin came with it, and the flesh was
  then ready to eat.

  Scald and skin the tail of a goanna. Cut into 3" slices.
  Dip in egg and bread crumbs, and fry quickly to a golden
  brown. Olive oil is the best to fry in, but some do not
  like the flavour of olives.
