Aboriginal Bush
Wattleseed: native coffee-cocoa flour.
Kangaroo with Wattleseed
Lean kangaroo loin seared rare and dressed with ground roasted wattleseed — Australia's oldest 60,000-year-old protein finished with its native coffee-cocoa spice.
60,000 years of Aboriginal foodways across the Australian continent — the world's oldest continuous food tradition, defined by what the land gives without farming. Lean game meats (kangaroo, emu, possum), native seeds (wattleseed, native pepper, lemon myrtle), tubers (yam daisy, bush onions), and damper bread cooked in the coals of a campfire. The flavor signature is smoky, lean, lightly spiced — and increasingly the foundation of modern Australian fine dining as bush ingredients move from the outback to the plate.
