"Eating rabbit, camel, carp, feral cat, deer and cane toad might sound extreme
to some, but it’s gaining attention as a solution to tackle the growing impact
of invasive species.

Now, Tony Armstrong hosts the ABC series Eat the Invaders, inspired by artist
Kirsha Kaechele’s 2019 cookbook and MONA exhibition Eat the Problem.

Over the course of the series, Armstrong talks to chefs, conservationists,
Indigenous Elders, researchers, food producers and the general public to
explore the idea of eating these species to reduce their populations.

Over each of the six episodes, the show features a different invasive species,
transforming them from something perceived as an unwanted pest into a desirable
food you may order off a menu."
