There is just so much more that one can sell on todays market place, we only had venison...the Asians (in NZ) today will buy almost anything that they call food...buy an incubator and start creating balut and you will beat hands down anything we ever made from selling venison...really good money selling bush shot velvet heads, mate sold 4 last year for over $1200 (collectively), which is more than he would have got for the bodies.

Yeah, hundred year old eggs. Used to eat them in Viet Nam and Thailand. Not bad once you got over the look.....or just didn't look at it at all

Aren't cultural differences interesting? Didn't know what Balut was so hit Mr Google. Near lost my breakfast! Guess if I actually tried it I might get over my initial revulsion and get to like it - but maybe not. I don't react well to the idea of eating force fed dog either, or force fed duck liver. Haggis is not that tempting either. Not even too keen on hangi being that I like my meat caremalized to some extent. I wonder what things I eat that cause revulsion in other cultures. Maybe slow BBQ pork shoulder? Lol...

Guessing this is selling round the back of a Chinese medicine shop?

We have a few of those round abouts, might make some inquiries, might help that I speak some broken Mandarin...

Each ethnic group has a person who deals in the buying of produce, one just needs to make contact with them...if people only knew what that manky billy goat they left to rot in the bush was really worth they would have carried it out...a lot of what we leave in the bush as deer guts is worth good money.

Very true, your local Nepalese, African or Indian restaurant (if you have one) will do crazy things for wild goat.
