Wasn't there a restaurant in 2nd Road, years ago, that offered ostrich steaks? I think it was called Paradise.

Yes, that's right.  I too am not sure I correctly remember the name, but it was there.  I even tried their ostrich steak and it was quite good.  That restaurant, whatever its name was, is long gone.

Kangaroo and crocodile too, I think. I remember that its caneton a l'orange was particularly fine. And well-priced. As well as (it's all all coming back to me now!) a New England chowder. Opposite Royal Garden.

I don't remember kangaroo or crocodile, but I'll take your word for it.  Personally I don't want to eat kangaroo - ever. 

As for crocodile, people who have eaten it tell me it tastes just like chicken.  In that case, give me a piece of chicken . . .
