I tried the Kangaroo - tasted a little too "furry" for me.

Both those camel burgers - now thats some fine outback tucker.

In a blind taste test, when done nicely, Kangaroo is almost the same as sirloin!

You marinate it for about 24 hours, smear it in mustard, insert garlic cloves via slits into the flesh and cook indirectly until it hits 135F.

I always add 2 cedar chips.

The great thing about Kanga is it is SO cheap. It costs about half of what a normal beef roast would cost.

If you get the chance to buy some, try it. Just treat it like a normal roast, but make sure you mariinate it to lose that gamey smell and flavour, do this right and everyone will love you at your next BBQ!

About the closest place I know of where I could score me some kangaroo would be at the Dallas Zoo. Although it would probably be pretty easy to get a shot off, the more difficult part may be getting him out of his exhibit and field dressed before anyone notices!

I used to shoot kangaroo rats but I never ate 'em.....
Marsupials are kinda rare up here on top so we have to settle for beef. We do have a lot of game deer, wild hogs, turkeys etc..

I'm not sure about tagging a Kanga at the zoo, lol. We have them all over the place here, golf course, parks etc. They are illigal to shoot unless you have a culling permit. But I tell ya, after perfecting cueing them, many a time I have driven past a feild with Roo's in it and thought about tagging one...lol

Very lean meat too...


Love my beef though.

Seems I've heard of a lot of roadkill 'roos. Guess you have to be in the right place at the right time. Or the wrong place - I understand they can do a fair bit of damage to your car or truck.

Kangas generally are big. Here in Western Australia our native species is called a Big Red or Western Red, they can reach nearly 7 ft in height and maybe 200lbs of lean meat.

Hitting one in a car is VERY bad. In the country parts, you just drive very slow at night.

Crikey!

Sounds like our deer around here. They are around all year, but fall through spring they get really thick here in the Texas Hill Country. I have hit six of them, all at highway speed, in the last three years. Fortunately, I drive an 8,000 lb. pickup with a heavy bumper replacement, and I bet what I've lost in fuel mileage I've gained back in not paying for vehicle repairs. With this rig, you just feel the bump and go on.

Careful out there, mate!
