    If you look hard you can find all kinds of meat out there - crocodile, quail, duck, kangaroo, emu, turkey, veal, pork, lamb, goose, venison, rabbit, goat etc.

    OK, some of them might be a bit hard to find... but keep your eyes open in your supermarket and also, if you have shops from particular nationalities in your area, see what they have as a change. The Vietnamese butcher at my market sells all the bits you don't usually see like pigs ears and feet and livers and pieces that I can't even name!

    I often use pork fillet (lean and delicious) in recipes where I could use chicken breast - like chicken breast, you don't want to overcook it or it will be dry.

    Do you avoid fish/seafood because of allergies or because you don't like it? If it's just that you don't like it, you might like to consider trying very mild tasting white fish like barramundi or snapper with a delicous crumb crust or a pineapple or mango salsa, or make it into things like thai fishcakes with lots of spices.
    I never used to be a big seafood eater, but my husband loves it and I know it has lots of good nutrition so I've gradually tried different options and recipes and found a number of seafood options that I enjoy. If you are allergic, please ignore this paragraph!

    All meat is healthy when it comes from properly raised animals. You need not fear fat in pastured animals since it contains the proper ratio of omega 3/6 fats. When they fatten them up with corn and God knows what other crap in a feedlot it makes the meat 1) fattier and 2) has too much omega 6 fats and bonus 3) taste terrible so you have to inject it with butter and MSG to get it down ewe! Get yourself a nice pastured pork roast and thrown that thing in the slow cooker with whatever spices or veg you like. Can't go wrong!

    Unfortunately if you want organic/free range/good meat that isn't injected etc meat rather than the cheap meat that has alsorts in it you have to pay more (in the UK anyway) and not all of us can afford this.
