Unusual Australian foods

Abdomen of small green ants
It is said the abdomen actually tastes like lemon sherbet! If you're wondering how to eat one: pick them up by their head and squash it (so they won't bite you) then bite off the abdomen. Enjoy!

Vegemite
Black, tacky, salty yeast extract that is spread on breads or toast.

Crocodile sausage
"Tastes like salty chicken."

Kangaroo/Emu steaks
They are very good for you, though it may mean eating the country's national emblems.

Witchety grubs
Moth larvae that measures about the size of a pinky finger. They used to be eaten only by the Aborigines, but now are known as a local delicacy.
