Overheard at lunch time

[den]

Two men outside a shop, discussing sandwiches they bought elsewhere: "There were only two sandwiches left, and one of those was sliced ox-tongue. No wonder it was left over! No way would I eat anything that came out an an animal's mouth! So I had the egg sandwich."

Back in 1789, when the First Fleeters were verging on starvation and living on salted beef and wormy hard-tack, they refused food from the Aboriginies. Records describe the Aboriginies eating filthy molluscs and crustaceans, ie Sydney rock oysters and balmain bugs.
