My husband and I took an epic adventure through the center of Australia, driving from Adelaide in the south all the way through the red center to Darwin up north. In a crazy little opal mining town, Coober Pedy, we found a "coat of arms pizza" on the menu and naturally, we ordered it straight away. Australia's Coat of Arms contains a kangaroo and an emu, which is highly symbolic because these two animals can not walk backwards, they can not easily retreat. Now, during our two years in Sydney, we had tried Kangaroo and Emu separately, but something about the candidness of this pizza seemed bizarre to me. I had the thought of what might happen to a person who served bald eagle pizza in the United States? Would they be imprisoned and prosecuted? The very patriotic side of me had the cringe slightly as I enjoyed my delicious pizza.
