Inarlenge (Echidna) by Christopher McMillan

Inarlenge means 'echidna' in Arrernte language. We also call it prickly meat. Echidna's come out during the cold months for the mating season. You can find them down at the creek bed hiding in the hollow logs. You poke them with a stick to get them out. If you carry them in a pillowcase, they won’t spike you. We put them on the fire until the quills can be knocked off then you can eat them. They are very good bush tucker and have very rich meat. They’re tasty like pork. Echidna's are best cooked in the ground on hot coals. The quills can be used for jewellery making.
