WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING

WAIT

i need the meatiest, chewiest, heartiest, most carnivorous winter foods a ravenous australian were-creature can get, but also with more vegetables or meat-substitutes in them to balance out my diet nutritionally, please?

i like fish and red meats mostly, with kangaroo being a favourite easily-available mince, as well as things like beef and lamb. chicken and pork is okay but not my usual go-to, and i can't get rabbit or venison easily in this country either.

nothing too spicy please, and I'm not a big fan of organs (no hearts, tongues, kidneys, liver etc). pastas (lasagna my beloved), cheeses, mushrooms, potatoes and roast veggies are also good. big fan of mediterranean foods in general, looking to try more middle eastern foods as a whole too. not a big fan of red onion though.

in terms of cooking equipment i live in a small space and only have a gas stove, mini-oven, microwave, slow cooker and electric fry pan. can occasionally try putting things in a cast iron pot or wrapped in foil in the fireplace as well.

also kind of curious to try more fruit + nut + meat combos as well, but i can't have grapefruit for medication reasons. anything with australian native bush foods (eg. macadamia nut) would also be appreciated but isn’t a requirement.

hopefully this message isn't too long and specific so i'll cut it off here, but thank you!

(okay to tag as dingo therian, too)

Oh wow that's a lot. Part of me appreciates it and the other part is forcing me to apologize right now if I'm hella off because that's a lot and I have AuDHD so I may forget parts.

Lamb and Winter Vegetable Stew

Walnut-Crusted Chicken Breast

Humans and I aren't the same species. Somehow, it's like they see the animal in me. Speak to me as rarely as they can, skirt around where I step like I'm a danger to them. They speak in a language I don't recognize, make quips about how ragged I look, how uncanny my behaviour is, and how sharp these teeth and claws I hold look in their eyes.

I am not built the same as them. My mind and body are made from different flesh. And they can tell. They can tell just from looking at me. Not one of us, I see the thought behind their eyes. I can't understand the concept that one of them could not be a danger to me, that any of them don't want to hurt me the way they have my whole life. I snarl and bite my teeth at them, then cover my mouth in hot shame. I can't even mimic their rage.

My teeth are inhuman and monstrous. I look at them in the mirror and see a wide animal maw staring back at me. I learned early to not smile or laugh in a way that shows them off. Humans don't like when a beast bares it's teeth at them.

My voice is garbled and broken, throat damaged from mimicking a language my vocal chords didn't evolve to speak. I used to take comfort in growling, snarling, crowing, screaming. It became clear that did nothing but scare them. I stopped.

Finding ones that aren't a danger is almost worse. Longing. I can be a good animal for you. Bite my tongue and hide my teeth away from you. Never speak so you can say anything you want to me. I can lay on the floor so you don't have to share your furniture with a pitiful creature. Let me stay, I can be a good animal for you. I would be so good at it.
