Field rations are running dangerously low. Thusly, I've made the determination that, if need be, if faced with starvation, we will cook and eat a Koala. I've been thinking about this a lot, actually. If Koala meat were the secret ingredient on Iron Chef, I'm sure Bobby Flay would probably serve it with roasted red peppers and a dash of cumin and a braised polenta. It wouldn't be an easy thing to do, but if you slow roast the little guy, I'm sure that Koala meat would just fall right off the bone.
The Koala is listed as vulnerable in the Australian Endangered Species List. It is estimated that there are approximately 100,000 koalas living in the wild and as such you are not allowed to eat them. It is illegal to keep a Koala as a pet anywhere in the world.
Koalas are totally protected.
Even if they were not, historical reports suggest that they are not particularly good eating.
As a further incentive not to eat them, about half the Koalas still alive are affected by chlamydia. You might think that eating one would require a bit of luck in picking the right one to eat. How lucky do you feel?
Only certain Ozlots like Bingalee aka "Mysterious Yoshi". Such types go after anything fluffy and marsupial because they have had such disappointment in life. That and they're tentacled land dwelling versions of jellyfish. Either way, they'd drop a koala in a stew like that.
As you can see most Australians do not eat koalas. They just feed on stoogery and racism.
Koalas were hunted in the past both by the aboriginals and the settlers but they are protected now.
Kangaroos are still hunted and kangaroo meat is exported and is also available in the supermarket.
