Am I the only one on /ck/ who eats Kangaroo?

I've had it once or twice. Not really a meat for cooking indoors.

>> No.6151262

>>6151251
I've had it a couple times (in the US) as ground/mince on a burger at a place that specialized in 'exotic' meats.

It was okay, needed more fat in my opinion. I'd love to try steaks or other cuts though, I hear it can be pretty good.

>> No.6151268

>>6151251
Nope. That gormet game brand shit is so cheap I used to get it all the time. Great for /fit/ fags as well with those macro's.

But about a year and a half ago now there was a big scare about how there is little to no quality control on kangaroo meat and its storage and processing so people were getting sick. So I'd definitely look into it more if you want to eat it regularly and not get tape worm.

>> No.6151271

I'd certainly try it. I've heard it's tender as fuck.

amerifag here though, 'exotic' meats are expensive over here

Hey yeah found the news report I was thinking about. Turns out it was a tree hugger campaign to stop us kill poor cute roo's. Still not sure how much is true though.

It's alright. I only eat it for something different and because it's cheap. It's definitely not any better than steak or lamb.

I eat it occasionally but not as often as I'd like to. When I get my shit together I will.

If a rat is like a kangaroo then a chicken is like a bald eagle.

Where the fuck are you guys getting it so cheap, I'm in brisbane and it cost more per kilo than beef, sometimes more than lamb.

Fucking yuppies started buying it because "oh so different and unique, I saw it on a cooking show once".
Same shit as sushi, I remember when no one ate sushi rolls but I used to love them so me and mum would get them for $1.60, then the health crazed yuppies bought into it "oooh so healthy and exotic, not many people like raw fish but I adooore it".

>mfw a half decent sushi roll costs $3-4

There is an Australian market in Munich where you can get very good roo at pretty horrendous prices. You must know about it though, they don't advertise it and you won't see it in the market, they basically sell it under the counter. If you're lucky you can buy it at Christmas in German supermarkets, but quality is pretty mediocre.

They look too much like humans, I feel they could evolve into a similar species probably....so I don't think it's right.

Also super smart ones like dolphin and chimps and octopuss.

I'm 20 hours away from where it's easily found but I'd eat it if given the chance.

A co-worker brought Kangaroo jerky back from his trip to Australia. Had a slightly lighter flavor than beef jerky. 8/10, would eat again.

Best enjoyed when cooked like how the abos used to do it. Hunted with spears or boomerangs or whatever and the slow cooked with hot coals underground.

Might need a licence. They're a pest actually. Our environmental department hires people to shoot them from helicopters

>> No.6153316

>>6153273
there are lots of different types of roo, some of them are regarded as pests so if you go want to go kill and eat one of them the only thing you really need is a gun licence and a gun.

Actually kangaroo is far from endangered, they are super common and pests in some places, often needing culling.

When I lived in inner west sydney It would go on special at IGA at least once a fortnight for like $6/kg. I'd buy about three and freeze them for making chilli/ spag bol or meat n beans. It has pretty much no fat so it can go dry easy though.

>>6151276
Also even though this stopped me from eating it as rare steaks like I used too. I did eat it rare occasionally for about a year and it never made me sick. Most likely hippy bs.

The best steak I ever had was the kangaroo I ordered medium rare from the Little Snail in Sydney.

>> No.6153927

It's quite nutritious but very lean and dry, the taste gets old very quick.
Sometimes it has little hard bits of bone/ cartilage in the mince.
Because of how lean and rich it is, some people get stomach pain and diarrhea.

It's nice for a change but i can't see it replacing beef as a staple food.
