scrumptious. 🙂 'Roo would have to be our fave meat, even after decades

In my case, you have the precise reason why, right there. I'm not
sick of roo yet. Lamb was so last millenium.

Our cats eat the pet-variety roo,
and it's had an definite effect on one cat so much, that he looks as if
he's been injecting 'roids. 😄 (he's now on a diet)

It has an effect on the digestive system of my cats 🙂

I'm not inclined to try it again though, it's rare I can't eat food I've
cooked, it was far too gamey for my taste. I'm told it is normal for roo
to be gamey though.

I get mine by riding[1] to the supermarket. And it's only "too" gamey
until such time as you eat enough of it. Then it is just gamey
enough. I hated it first few times too. Then I got rid of mum and
cooked it myself.

the very least. And very easy to turn it into boot leather if not done rare.

I've eaten roo heaps of times. Very nice and flavoursome it is.

Makes an excellent spag bol if you don't want to do steaks.

Undercooked tatties - eccchhh. Although you should never *overcook* skippy as it turns into boot leather.

What's black and hops around?

Skippy in a bush fire.

I think having to start the VCR 10min later is a small price to pay for getting every stage live. I'm in England (next door to France, cycling quite popular) FFS and we only get live coverage on weekends.

Or start it on time and hit the 10 minute skip forward button. I could get
used to this new fangled computery stuff.

This all reminds me of a sign my wife recently saw in a budget butcher's
window: A tray of "Cat Meat"; A tray of "Dog Meat"; and A tray of "Roo
Meat". Presumably the first two were meant as a food item for cats and
dogs and the third for kangaroos with sharp teeth... Or was it thee
trays of the obvious alternative?! :~| Eeek!

My cooking skills are not Cordon Bleu, to be sure, but I'm not a bad cook
🙂

A suggestion for cooking kangaroo.
- Use only the tenderloins
- Grill over hot coals (use real charcoal or good dry wood, not heatbeads)
- Use a small Weber or similar, with the lid closed, so meat both grills
and roasts
- Don't leave it in too long (meat should be very pink but not red raw)

Done this way, it cooks through more evenly than if done on a
hot grill plate. Provided you don't overdo it, the tenderloins stay tender,
and the wood smoke gives a nice flavour to the meat, that counteracts
the gamey taste.

I've always cooked it by bringing a pan up to very hot and cutting the heat
to nearly nothing as I throw the meat on. It ears really well, but then the
pan cools quickly, dumping the heat into the meat in the process so it cooks
through while you throw the blueberry/oregano/sesame glaze you prepared
earlier over the top. It comes out rare through unless the piece is too
thick (as happened once) in which case it comes out rather "blue". From that
experience, I'd be tempted to butterfly it down to no more than about ¾"
thick.

Karen, I don't think other states give Qld-ers much cred for culture.

hmmm, sometimes I get a tail, treat it the same as Ox-tail, cooked nice
and slow in stew, very nice.

also had kangaroo mince made in to hamburgers, nice and juicy, the only
comment I get is great hamburgers and can I have another, most people
would not have a clue they are eating roo meat unless I tell them 🙂

I bought some roo burgers lastnight. There was something seriously
wrong with them. They were within their used by date, but I've been
scared off supermarket roo burgers now.
