What? Are you kidding me. I’ll Pass thank you.

[Huskee]

Think venison. Kangaroos are just hopping deer really.

"Hey missy, would like to hop on over to my house and have a kangaroo burger......."

Earthy flavor knocks a lot of people out.

[Spinaker]

Interesting......I never even thought about eating Kangaroo.

I assume Roo meat is similar to deer meat, I could see using that as a sub. Although, I am not a fan of venison. I am not sure I have ever seen Roo meat in the store. Fresh outta Roos up here, but we've got some Walleye!

[DWCowles]

Kangaroo burger? WTH!

[Steve R.]

We might need to head to Horse Cave and harvest one of those kangaroos they have there at KY Down Under!

[Huskee]

When I first saw the title I was sure it was called that because it was stuffed with something, like a pouch, a play on words. Nope. However I do remember hearing about eating 'roos on more than one occasion, but I suppose it's more common in Australia unless that's just my own stereotype in my mind.

[FireMan]

I do notice from the recipe that there is a chance to use the famed mayo knife.

[W.A.]

Its on the menu down under. They arr considered pests like deer are in many parts. Pretty sure they may farm them as well. They also farm giant birds called emus for meat.

'Roos are very tasty. Nice lean red meat. Really, give it a try if you have the chance.

We have an exotic game restaurant here that I eat at almost weekly. The duck dogs are awesome. Anyway last week he had kangaroo skewers over brown rice with a nice side salad. Some of his meats get a little gamy but I must say the roo tasted pretty good given the way it was prepared. He had some sort of chimichurri sauce on it. And yes, it tasted very close to venison, in fact if you blind tasted both you probably would not know the difference.

be sure to put the lid down, don't want em jumpin' off........

Only the tourists eat "roo" meat, we also have it canned for dog meat.

[ComfortablyNumb]

Canned dog meat, the foundation of a greasy spoon meatloaf!!

[Huskee]

Hmmm, for real, only tourists? Do you think 'roo meat is just a fancy marketing thing for those not in the know? I guess I can see that.

[Potkettleblack]

I'm pretty sure I have a chili recipe from a competition team that uses 'Roo meat. Yeah:

Wallaroo bacon, Red Kangaroo Shank, Grey Kangaroo Steak, and Emu Ham.

It's from back in the 70s, so maybe things have changed.

[Potkettleblack]

"high in iron, and 99 percent fat free"
Nope.
Do need the dietary fat, which is fixed with butter.

Don't need the iron.

Back in the 70's an old friend had a property in South Australia and was growing rye. As the young shoots were coming up Kangaroos would come out of the state forrest at night and eat the new shoots and virtualy destroy the crop overnight. As a result, we would go out and shoot about 200 roos per night for a week. We made little impact on the roo population, but they were smart enough to stay away for a while. We fead some of the meat to the dogs, the rest we just left for the dingoes and foxes. Roo meat in my opinion tastes very like rabbit and is very lean, however, it can be very fibrous.

There are some boutique restaurants in Australia that serve kangaroo, crocodile and water buffalo meat to the tourists.
Sorry didn't want to hijack the thread.

Interesting info!

So funny, one man's dog food is another man's delicacy.
