Fun Fact:
Kangaroo babies are the size of a bean

wallaby are cute, kangaroos are asshole.

>>16230755
Fun Fact:
An Australian bean is the size equivalent of a minivan

>>16230749
Oi m8 fok uff

Not everyone eats is regularly but most people have tried it and it’s easy to find

>>16230749
look at its giant feet lmao

>He's never eaten marsupial before
NGMI

>>16230749
not as much as we probably should

>>16230807

I ate one once. Pretty good

>>16231788
Describe the taste please

>>16231799
It tastes like kangaroo. You can probably buy a small kangaroo steak wherever you live its what I did.

>>16231799
Ive heard it described as gamey but it's the only wild animal I've eaten before so I can't compare it to other meats. It's tougher with a stronger flavour than beef but it doesn't taste the same.
Kangaroo sausages are the best way Ive had the meat but it's worth trying if you can get it cheap enough, so probably not worth it if you don't live in Australia.

>>16230749
Its too lean it gives me diarrhoea

>>16230749
>2m tall

>the leanest, healthiest red meat; numerous health benefits over beef
yeah, i'm thinking our boy is pretty based my dudes

>>16232180
dude is jacked holy shit

>>16232182
yeah dude
kangaroos are fukken mad cunts

>>16232186
Why do I find this dog sexually arousing?

>>16230749
wallaby is new zealond

>>16232180

Kangaroos kill more cars than cars kill kangaroos each year

How smart are they?
Is there a chance of kangaroo people in 5 million years?

>>16232273
If all the people left the continent and they had free reign they could probably progress further than the abos did
So to answer your question no, not really

In NZ I'm seeing more and more petfood with kangaroo in it.

>>16230785
Do Australians think we don't know how terrifying their country is?

>>16233045
>Please buy me bro

>>16231799
Like tough deer. It was like jerky texture for its backstrap. So essentially you would have to maronate it or tenderize it more for it to be adequate.

>>16233033
Sometimes I feed my dog this

>>16233057
Wait, isn't that food for kangaroos? Not food with kangaroo in it? lol
Still I suppose it can't be too bad for ya dog, kangaroos are fuckin' built so they must be eatin' somethin' right.

>>16233149
It's dog food with kangaroo in it.

>>16232273
marsupials are pretty dumb mechanically for as long as they've been around. They never really needed to evolve smarts so its still mostly lesser brain processing. Keep in mind australia was a perfect temperate spot much like africa for a long time before the abbos razed the entire continent to the ground.

>>16231799
Quite a tough, lean beef with almost no fat. Pretty gamey taste and a strong smell when cooked, you can always smell if somebody is cooking it. Like >>16233056 said, marinating it is the way to go. Burgers and sausages are also not bad.

That being said, it's probably the healthiest red meat on the planet.

>>16233190
Oh, 'kangaroo formula' made me think like, baby formula y'know lol; like it was for joeys or somethin' :p

>>16232180
10/10 would allow to hold me down and sodomize

>>16233273
Ha ha yea, imagine a kangaroo mommy breast feeding you, that would be so weird ha ha

>>16230820
We only got one type in America and I forget which it is

>>16230749
You wait for them to grow up first, but they're easier to grab when they're young

>>16233333
I disagree, but your digits remind me of my place.

>>16233218
>>16232273
This.
Australia doesnt have any natural native predators, so kangaroos and most Australian native wildlife is pretty retarded.
They never needed to evolve the smarts to get away from something.
New Zealand had this 10x. When humans arrived there in 1200 or so the only animals on the entire of both islands were birds, including 20ft tall Moas (think giant emus). But the Moa were so docile that the Maoris could literally just walk up to them and bonk them on the head.

I wish I couldve had the chance to eat Moa, looks like it wouldve been delicious.

>>16233045
Aus is safe as fuck, just dont go swimming north of the Tropic of Capricorn.
NA is much much more dangerous, you cunts have mountain lions, cougars, bears, wolverines, wolves, moose and all sorts of fucking gnarly shit that'll just straight up kill you.
At best we have 2 aquatic creatures with no antivenom, and a bunch of snakes & spiders that havent killed anyone in decades.

>>16233149
yeah Kangaroo offal is fairly common as pet food in Australia.
Used to feed it to our cat every 2nd night. Norwegian Forest Cat. Dude was fuckin chonkers and lived to like 18 years old.

>>16233333
thats actually the name of the youtube video

>>16233753
Which then also lead to the extinction of the very cool Haast's eagle :(
Hey at least we still have the opportunity to try a Kiwi before they're all gone; better get in quick for a Kakapo though...

>>16233759
cougar and mountain lion are the same animal

>>16232180
i slap that mofo in the face

Kangaroo tenderloin was a big deal in the gourmand circles about 10 years ago. You’ve gotta brine it really hard because it doesn’t age the same way as beef. Treat it like venison. They’re practically the same animal anyway, niche-wise.

>>16233879
When I type "Big Mountain Lions" in duckduckgo I get very different results from "Big Cougars"

What do kangaroo taste like?
I'd like to try them.

>>16233753
NZ seems comfy. You can wander about through the forest at night without worrying about getting atomized by a bear or cougar. You can't get away with that anywhere in Canada; you WILL be killed

>>16234044
It’s midway between venison and beef liver. Not a bad flavor really but you can’t just treat it like a steak.

>>16234044
I had a Kangaroo pizza at blackrabbitpizza.co.nz late last year.
It's a really lean meat and not too strong, fairly close to rabbit in flavour but textured like goat

>>16234115
What was the cut? That’s very different from my experience. I was working with loin mostly.

>>16234158
I don't know I just ordered the Pizza from the restaurant

roo steaks with beetroot is unironically one of the best meals of all time

Yes it tastes great and is fairly cheap as well.

>>16233759
always funny living just outside of yellowstone hearing people say that. most people would be terrified for their life 50 ft outside my property at night. you can hear a bug fart from a mile away from potential prey not daring to make noise at night. grizzlies, mountain lions etc but there's 100 other cocksuckers no one even knows about that won't kill you but can make your life hell

for example, have a puppy outside in a completely fenced in property and think he's safe? he's not because giant grey owl cunts that look like fucking aliens at sunset will have him for dinner unless you're hovering over him and even then they look at you like demons 100ft in the air staring you straight in the eye talking shit to you daring you to walk away 20 ft

>>16234562
Lel

I don't but I buy it for my dog.

>>16234562
Owls are fucking sick, we have Moreporks in NZ but I slept under the stars in the forest once and opened my eyes to see a massive pure white and dead silent Barn Owl glide over the camp, was surreal.
If I ever go /out/ in NA I'm going to be more paranoid about ticks than anything.

>>16234589
What about that plant that causes so much pain that people cut off the affected part or commit suicide

>>16234601
>Dendrocnide moroides
That's only Australia thankfully but I've been got pretty bad by our weaker versions. Only a couple months ago I was working on a job and I bent over to pickup a branch and stuck my posterior into our native Ongaonga whilst wearing shorts, got me right up the inside of both thighs, agony for the next 5 hours

>>16234485
Shit, is that what kangaroo looks like? It looks incredible.

>>16230749
I'm American and Ive had roo jerky twice.

Shit is fucking delicious. Probably the ultimate health food at 25 calories an ounce of dried roo meat. Satiating as fuck. I'd eat an ounce of that and be good for 4 hours.

>>16234601
Gympie Gympie
but you'd have to be literally retarded in the brain to touch random plants in the Daintree Rainforest

I'll pay money to see a woman get fucked by a kangaroo

>>16234663
Here you go

>>16234741
I fingered some gamer chick who was on a TV show under that boong statue

>>16234741
>Kangaroo fucking a pig while a duck watches
If this isn't high art I don't know what is

>>16234788
Whoa hitler dubs
I banged a TV chick under a gamer ornament after a bong

>>16234741
Is the duck giving advice on how to rape, or is it taking lessons from the kangaroo?
Is the giant abo statue watching or trying to look somewhere else?
Is the pig male or female, and why is it just taking it instead of walking away?
Why is it being done along a fence line instead of (anywhere else)? Did Ryan Frazer set this up, standing animals are pretty aware when you're trying to get a good photo of them close up and will typically move at the last second to ruin your shot.
Also that's not a wild pig so what's it doing there at all? Did someone eat the pigs asshole filled with kangaroo jizz when the pig was eventually slaughtered for meat?
Bros, I'm a little worried.
Photo of my late breakfast to get attention.

>>16234632
Fairly certain an ounce of roo jerky would be more calorie dense than an ounce of cooked chicken breast. From memory chicken is 1-1.5 calories a gram and an ounce is around 28grams, including all the moisture/juices.

>>16234741
Damn that hog got ROO'D

>>16232212

>>16233045
It's only dangerous if you venture into the wilderness or something
or ignore the drop bears

>>16234741
A literal slampig, nice

>type in dangerous cougars in google
>get a list of bars

>>16235335
>That sound at 1am when the dropbears attack the possums
I just want to sleep and instead I get waking nightmares. At least they're not attacking me.

>>16235335
>>16235350
You just have to remember never to fall asleep near trees, billabongs, or wogmen. Hell, I'd avoid walking under any tree taller than myself.

>>16235379
They don't really attack anyone who's been here a few months anyway since their primary senses are smell/taste and when you eat a proper Australian diet and enough Aussie water you end up smelling safe to them.
Indians get fucked up pretty bad though since dropbears *hate* the smell of foreign foods and curry is pretty stinky. The news always covers up native dropbear attacks as "racist bashings" but bashings don't leave claw and bite marks.
No dropbears exist in the northwest or the nation though, or in the desert, they love the greenery and coastal cities, especially the suburbs of Melbourne and Sydney.
Tasmania is literally overpopulated with them now since Tasmanian Devils are dying off (their only predator next to dingoes) but no one remembers Tasmania exists anyway.

>>16232273
haven't you seen Tank Girl!? Their people, kangoroo people!

>>16234092

i'll just fucking walk out there and jack off into the night

>spear chucking alien on top of the hill
Australia has everything

>>16234601
That's a bit overstated.

usually it just stings a bit.

>>16233759
wolverine is a superhero if you're not a bad guy he's cool

>>16230755
Fun fact 2: they even taste like beans in that state.

>>16232186
>>16232180
More like Kangaroids because they roid. Wallabies are natty, Kangas are fucking juiced cunts.

>>16234589
Haha fuck. Rented a lodge for my sister's birthday and a fuckin Morepork just flew in to land on a tree and fuckin face planted it. Was when it was getting dark. Then some dude walked right up to and it and tried to talk to it like it was his friend and it gapped it.

>>16234893
Just have a glass of milk next time you pussy

>>16230749
They're delicious if you cook them right. Very lean.

>>16233767
How the hell did a Norwegian Forest Cat survive in Australia? Did you shave him every week?

t. want to get a Maine Coon but it's so facken hot cuuuuuunt

>>16234741

>>16236127
Built a Norwegian forest for him.

>the abbos razed the entire continent to the ground
what event is this referring to

>>16236341
The Abbo ground razing. They go over it in Crocodile Dundee II.

>>16233759
That's a knoife

>>16236096
Kangaroos only eat plants too, so much for amino acids and creatine. They don't even lift.

>>16236118
I always milk my tea too quickly, that's an extra strong Dilmah bag anyway and I usually leave the bag in the entire time.
Also I sometimes do just drink glasses of milk because it's delicious.

>>16236341
Their "noble savage, totally sustainable" hunting method was setting forests and bushland on fire and catching/killing whatever scared animals were escaping the inferno.

>>16231788
>I ate one once
a whole one?

>>16233052
daww :,(

>>16232059
>gamey
this word should be banned

>>16236631
I can't imagine how stupid you would have to be to honestly believe this to be the purpose of the fires. It wouldn't even make hunting easier. The hypothesis makes no sense whatsoever.

do NOT listen to anyone in this thread roos are frens not food. now lets all go for a pleasant swim...

>>16236800
So why did they burn forests then? Why did they pass down that information if it isn't true?
Are you going to imply they were backburning because they lived in harmony with the land like a moron?

>>16234795
You missed the nigger on the hill bro.

>>16230755
Aren’t they developmentally more like foetuses than newborns at that stage though?

>>16234041
There is no diff between a cougar and mountian lion in NA.. they are the same animal here.

>>16230749
do brands in australia incorporate kangaroo into their products? like, does campbell's do kangaroo noodle soup?

>>16237638
Nope, it's wild meat that you can't get most of the time unless you live closer to the country areas (not specifically the outback though) or ask your butcher for.
Sometimes the major supermarkets will stock it but not everywhere.
My guess is that because it isn't farmed it's not reliable enough or clean enough to be mass produced/marketed

>>16237149
Nice try ripper, but I read Zoo Books as a kid.

>>16230755
just like your brain LMAO

>>16234907
idk I looked up several sources. Its some lean shit

I live in Canada and have just recently purchased ground kangaroo. Made me some delicious burgers for dinner. I have some frozen left over I wanna use soon.

What about Emus?

>>16230749
>Australians don't really eat these, right?
Smoked Roo is amazing.

>>16236127
they molt
in spring our yard would have thick clumps of cat hair floating fucking everywhere

>>16236341
Australia used to be completely covered in forest and jungle, but over the course of 100,000 years the abbos literally burnt it all down while hunting game.

>>16236800
it was actually to cause fresh green shoots to start sprouting in the burnt country, which also removed underbrush making it easier to spot and chase game.

>>16237149
>Australian kelpie

>>16240118
>Australia used to be completely covered in forest and jungle, but over the course of 100,000 years the abbos literally burnt it all down while hunting game.
Who the hell taught you history?

>>16230749
They might look cute but they are actually considered vermin and we do indeed hunt and eat them. They have ruined many farms around here and love to throw themselves in front of cars and trucks. Fuck them.

I'm looking to eat roo mince and rice for my dinners this week.
Anyone have suggestions on recipes? Was gonna try meatballs

>>16240110
Smoked food is like fried food, it's usually good
Don't @ me leaf lovers, no one is going to deep fry spinach or smoke it because everyone knows it done by great.

>>16240319
Smoked spinach sounds awesome

>>16240319
>>16240330
I meant to say it isn't going to be great but I butchered my post with autocorrects and rushing.
Phoneposting was a big mistake.

>>16240312
Roo mince is very lean and can dry out fast so i prefer to mix it with pork for meatballs.
As for recipes with rice I like a stirfry with Thai red curry paste and a can of coconut cream with Roo and broccoli, carrot, green beans, and onion.

>>16240254
basic common knowledge, my guy

>>16240355
Ok thanks, I'll give that a go. Curry sounds great for it too. I assume it would slow cook fairly well?

I shoot and eat kangaroo, I love it.
Tastes great and is very healthy. It's the only meat I eat.

you can also get it from supermarkets and some butchers here

does woolies have kangaroo

>>16240697
of course fellow

>>16240371
Don't have a slow cooker but its good for stews so I don't see why not.

>>16233322
Opossums. They taste okay.

>>16236800
Even the birds there have done it

>>16240716
>check
>its an entire page of pet food and then four actual human-safe things

Australians are, by definition, predators

>>16231699
lmao fuck OFF BRO LMAOOOO

>>16232273
Smart enough to use drowning as a way to deal with threats.

Don't ever fuck with a roo standing in a pond, shallow lake, or stream, because they'll drown you. Also they like to strangle if drowning or kicking to death are not options.

Has anybody ever eaten Koala meat? Is it even edible?

>>16244629

whats the parasite situation with roos?
do you have to take everything you hunt to some sort of vet or something to check?

>>16231799
somewhere between venison and rabbit, very gamey and almost, almost fishy at times
>>16232059
kanga bangers are the worst way to eat kangaroo, what you want is a steak you've marinated then seal it in a pan and finish in the oven.
Kangaroo is absurdly lean and has a very narrow margin of error when cooking it

>>16234741
fuck me that's a big boong on the hill

>>16240118
>Australia used to be completely covered in forest and jungle
Not quite, most of Australia was an inland sea a long, long time ago. That's why the center is so flat and barren

>>16246041
I wonder if my wife used to be an inland sea

>>16232180
>hunting trip
m8 there are literally dead kangaroos scattered all over the the roads you dont have to hunt shit

>>16233325
Is that hit rapper and artist, Dababy?

You see them in supermarkets from time to time, sort of a meme food.
It's not that they are bad, it's just a really inefficient animal to pasture.
You wouldn't eat a wild-shot roo, the meat is gammy and they have worms.

I might have eaten Kangaroo three or four times in my life.
6/10, it's not bad.

>>16237299
they raped the land and then burned it to the ground and then moved onto the next area, then they would come back like 5 or 10 years later and it was a lush paradise full of food again. abbos are nomadic which is another reason why they never really developed technology for building structures or agriculture, they knew how to make fire and simple clothes from animal skin and tools and weapons like spears and boomerangs but other than that they never had a need to progress and create anything more. the reason why most of the worlds colonizers and most technologically advanced civilizations were european is because it didnt make much sense to stay nomadic, settling down and building towns and farms suited the environment they lived in.

the mince goes alright in spag bol or tacos and the macros are better than beef if you're a /fit/ fag.

>>16244666
fitting digits

>>16237715
Yep, spot on. You can't fence them in like cattle cost-effectively, because the fuckers can jump, and if you harvest them in the wild you need portable refrigeration, which puts a limit on the scale.

It's a shame, really. It's great meat, very healthy, and much less taxing on the land, so full-scale farming would have a lot of benefits.

>>16244629
I'm sure it would taste like absolute shit. They eat nothing but eucalyptus leaves.

>>16230749
Literally yes.

You can buy Kangaroo meat in any food store, though you'd be pretty weird to eat it regularly. It's more of a rarity, though I've never tried it.

>>16234041
Just tried it myself anon, thanks for the tip

Fun fact: Australia and China are the only countries that eat their national animal.

>>16250163
What's China's national animal? The Panda? I'd eat bear meat if it was work free.

>>16230749
they taste good though

You don’t know a fucking thing bro. Kangaroos are skittish as fuck, unless you’re feeding them at the zoo in which case no shit they’re docile. Try walking up to a mob of wild roos and see how quickly they gtfo

>>16233753
aren't kanagroo hostile? there videos of them boxing. they're not cuddle worthy at all

>crocs
dont swim in rivers up North, common safety rule
>pythons
snakes everywhere but they're not a threat and we have antivenom in every hospital as well as the Royal Flying Doctor service. You really have to fuck up to even consider dying from a snake bite in Aus
>eagles
they'll kill your chickens but dont go after humans
>monitors
nah you're thinking of that thing in Indonesia
>Tassie devils
they're scavengers, wont attack humans

the only creature you REALLY have to worry about in Aus is pic related, but only 1 person's ever been attacked by one

>>16250847
generally skittish like deer, but the Bucks will try and fight you in mating season.
they're impossible to knock or push over, but they cant really kill a human.

>>16230749
Yes.

>>16249149
Eh it seems common enough here in regional nsw. I have it several times every month.

Daily reminder that abos in Tasmania literally forgot how to make fire again after burning down all the forests on the island.

>>16240756
Yeah, birds are more technologically advanced than some of the abos at the time of discovery

tell me about the croc, is he edible?

>>16236114
What the fuck are you even trying to say

>>16236800
What’s it like being so stupid? Even the birds figured out how to use fire to flush out prey, but you can’t comprehend it.

>>16231799
I've had kangaroo before. It tastes like game meat, like venison.

>>16252344
Remind me. Can people fly?

>>16252265
yeah, but we nearly poached them to extinction about 50~100 years ago so we dont really hunt or farm them currently.
Saltwater crocs basically never stop growing, like lobsters. Left to their own devices the cunts can get fucking massive. Largest ever recorded was over 20ft long

>>16232212
Dogs are naturally sexually arousing. Always ready for a shag, HUUUUGE cocks (if you get a larger breed male), nice warm vaginas (if you get a larger breed female), no diseases to worry about except rabies (vaccinate, and just don't share your dog with other people).

I'm honestly surprised more people don't take the dogpill and the dogknot.

There is a boat that checks for irrikanji jellyfish every day, and if they find one they close the beach

Tried it at emart in Korea when I was drunk. I remember it being pretty good, not that different than beef or deer, but different. Would eat again.
