Did You Know?
Aboriginal Cultures have enjoyed Bogong moths for centuries, a great sorce of nutrition and protein !! Roasting the moths in hot ashes, before mashing them up to create "moth meat" which apparently has a nutty flavour. I even found a receipe
Bogong Moth Damper
Before arsenic found its way into the moths, they made a fine dinner. Here's a modern adaptation of an ancient recipe.
- A generous handful of moths
- 1 cup plain flour
- 1 cup self-raising flour
- 1 cup powdered milk
- 1/4 teaspoon raising agent
- water
Using a mortar and pestle (or near equivalent) pound up the moths
with the powdered milk. Mix in the remaining dry ingredients. Add
sufficient water to make a stiff dough and shape into a ball. Flatten
the ball to a height of 2.5 centimetres, lightly flour the surface and
cook in ash, camp oven, or domestic oven until cooked through. Serve
hot.
