Have you tried kangaroo? Have you? Have you?

Yes, it's seemingly relatively commonly served in Australia.

It's no more exotic than having something like venison.

We eat both the animals on our Coat of Arms. Emu meat is delicious too.

I had roasted stuffed pouch once with the fat joey in it.

A little like double-stuffed haggis.

I've had ostrich - I imagine it's about the same?

Beats wombat.

This is a horrifying thread. It never occurred to me that people eat kangaroos. Oh my God. Kangaroos?

“They’re eating the kangaroos!” 🦘

R7 HA!!!! Very good one.

It’s a more ethical meat. No transportation, no abattoir - the kangaroos get to hop around happily in the wild until one night they get shot. A nicer life than for a cow.

Plus they don’t cause soil damage like cattle.

DOLLFACE THREAD!

No, I never had it. They look too my uncle.

Of course not.

“That’s it! You kick me in the face one more time, and I’ll make chili out of you!”

Disgusting . Please stop.

There is a chain near me that for a while had a grand kangaroo for sale so I tried it once. I made tacos and sloppy joes and it was fine.

When I visited Australia, I had kangaroo and croc. Maybe even emu.

It all tasted like chicken

I heard it pairs well with prunes.

Ew! Wtf Australia!

They're just eating what their continent provides (in plentiful amounts).

Years ago a coworker gave me a plastic sack of kangaroo jerky she brought back from Australia. Smelled hideous.

A cunt in the office (state office building) microwaved burnt popcorn every day, with the stink filling the place. People complained and she said, "I like it that way." I finally had it and one afternoon when she waddled out of the break area, leaving her corn on, I went in, opened her still-heating paper sack of generic crap, pushed in the kangaroo, set the timer for 20 minutes, and went home.

The next day memos were posted that no one was to leave their cooking food alone, that no one was to burn or otherwise stink up the place, and that was that.

Kangaroos are way too cute to eat.

No and I wouldn't try bunny, either.

I’ve noticed it sold in the past at Whole Foods and/or Trader Joe’s. I worried about walking by it too closely out of fear that, out of the corner of my eye, it would possibly jump out at me.

GAG!

Bunny in a Ninja pot is something I’d like to experience.

I’ve had Kangaroo jerky and it felt like punishment. A wild game seller in Illinois featured bear, venison, more venison, snake, and tiger meats. Bleh.

Kangaroo is not "commonly served" in Australia, except in remote Aboriginal communities and as a popular pet meat (very low-fat).

However, indigenous foods are a big trend among the "Yes, chef" set here, so it is much more common in fine dining restaurants and in the rung of eateries just below them. If you go on The Ghan it's likely to be on the menu, for example. Because it IS so low-fat it needs to be cooked very carefully. By fine dining standards, this means Only on the outside.

I've tasted both kangaroo and croc. I prefer the latter.

Koalas and platypuses are protected, so no speculation we're eating them, please.

I’d give my dog kangaroo treats because they’re meant to be the best, but they just smell so disgusting

Koala in Hawaii is not the fuzzy little bear

Australian Koala BBQ is delicious. My grandmother had them around her property so it was always very fresh.

It’s tempting to capture the younger ones first as the meat’s more tender - but the parents notice and can get great surges of energy snatching them back[bold] : o[/bold]

Conversely, the young ones won’t miss their parents after about 8 weeks, so you can just cook the older ones and wait for the babies to fatten up on their own.

R30 What do you think Loco Moko is?

God, r31 that's kind of horrific.

Fuck off.

In this thread, people are very determined to make Aussies look like savages.

Any good kangaroo jerky? Probably costs 30 dollars a pound in the US.

[quote]Yes, it's seemingly relatively commonly served in Australia.

Australian here. R1 - it definitely isn't commonly served in Australia. Almost nobody eats kangaroo meat because it's extremely strong and unpleasant tasting, chewy like an old boot and it's just not very nice. It is however commonly used in wet pet food.

Without being AI Annie, I researched for myself

And R37?

No, but I was a guest at a wedding in Sweden and we were served reindeer as the main course.

Meat is meat. Don't care about the source.

Won't someone think of the joeys?

[quote]R31 Australian Koala BBQ is delicious.

We called it Koala-Q in my family.
