You can't beat a kanga steak, it's delicious.

Kangaroo is a beautiful meat which I eat whenever I see on the menu at restaurants, very low in fat and high in protein too. Saw some in Coles the other day for about $6/kilo, about half the price of decent steak and got very excited. My wife, however, refuses to try it. Why won't people eat meat from an animal with a nice face?
Nothing to do with a nice face or not for me, its yuck, way too strong a flavour, very gamey. I dont like the taste.

Yes, I imagine many Poms would like it :) .

Jules/Chris - to get to the other side? :confused: ;)

I wouldn't mind trying a bit of roo, myself. Although, if I were to cook a roo steak, I'd be worried it might jump from the frying pan into the fire....

badum-tish

*groan*

Seriously though, there's a few things I'd like to try when I get down under. I've never tried shark or croc. A more mainstream thing I did try in Oz was oysters. Bloomin' awful. Had an 'orrible after- taste in my gob for days!

Actually I believe it tastes a bit like chicken crossed with fish? I havent ever had it.

Throwing some roo on the barbie also counters heart, obesity and diabetes problems.

Mr Anya says that's cos you get lots of exercise heaving the dam' things up onto the barbie :)

Heavy animal, a full grown roo...

SKIPPY needs to hop it - because scientists have found kangaroo meat is good for you.

Expert Clare Engelke made the shock discovery while examining livestock to find a "healthy" fat called conjugated linoleic acid.

She was looking at lambs - then switched to roos and discovered FIVE times the intensity.

Clare, of the University of Western Australia, said: "It certainly was a big surprise." http://www.thesun.co.uk/article/0,,2-2004192270,00.html

Well yes actually. Must have been all the hot chilli sauce I smothered it in to get some flavour. But then my bowels have always been a little unpredicatable!

Its actually true that they crossed a fish with a chook, It's called a FOOK, not that Ive had one lately, rare in these parts.;)

It's all in how quickly it is cooked. Next time, ask the waiter to make it snappy.
