Skippy WAS an obnoxious troll on several US newsgroups. He lost
accounts with multiple ISPs, once for telephoning a church that was
listed on my 'Computers for Disabled Veterans' website as a dropoff
location, and making threats. The police blotter for his town lists
multiple arrests, being banned from multiple businesses, and attempting
to run over a woman after she told him to leave her alone. he was as
destructive as a bunch of 'roos.

He sounds a lot like Phil. :(

**Not my preference, but kangaroo meat is amongst the healthiest
available. Very low in saturated fat. A little tricky to cook, but many
people like the taste.
I would describe it as "very gamy" like Rabbit or very strong Venison. I
also dislike the taste of both Roo and Emu and it is usually referred to as
"road kill" or pet food.

A bit of trivia for everyone. Australia is the only country that kills and
eats both its animals on it's coat of arms or national crest.

For a bit of extra trivia, I googled coat of arms, and the
first one I got to was: Antigua and Barbuda
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coat_of_arms_of_Antigua_and_Barbuda
which has a couple of deer on it.

http://www.antigua-barbuda.org/Agact01.htm#fishing
states:

Fishing and Hunting ====================
Sportfishing, bonefish in Barbuda's Codrington Lagoon,
hunting of deer, boar, various gamefowl on Barbuda.
Licenses and gun permits must be obtained in Codrington
Village. The Antigua and Barbuda Annual Sport Fishing
Tournament is held in May of each year.

So they hunt deer, which is on their coat of arms. I would
assume they would eat them if this is the case.

I didn't bother checking out another 200? countries. :)

Cheers Don...

The point I was trying to make was we have two different
animals on our coat of arms and we eat both of them Your
example, although it has two animals, are the same species.
Now if it was a dear and a fish you would have winner ;-)

I personally have never checked it out ;-)

Cheers TT

I think it's pushing things a bit to say "we" eat kangaroos and emus.
There may be some people that them but I don't know of anyone that eats
emu on a regular basis. It may be edible but it doesn't mean people eat it.

Yeah? What do you expect from Canadians? ;-)

When they run out of syrup, they spend the winter in Florida.

There are two kinds of people on this earth:

The crazy, and the insane.

The first sign of insanity is denying that you're crazy.

Rabbit is nothing like roo or emu and neither of those is like the other.

Tried Emu a couple of years back. tasted too much like "dirt/soil" to
me. Didnt like.
Cant remember what roo was like.

I saw something on the news about how someone reckons we should be
eating roos instead of cows, as roos dont fart as much and therefore
are better for the environment or some such crap.

Interesting. At one time you could buy rabbit in the supermarkets here and it made a great
casserole. I wouldn't have descibed it as as gamey as venison though. More like chicken with a
bit more flavour.

Wild rabbit has more flavour that tame/factory rabbit. The battery raised
stuff is fairly bland unless its pellets are supplemented by a wide range
of herbs.

Dang, can not thing of anything elecytronically related to throw in except
that the cmos came eventually made ot to the rabbit shed about 10 years
after SWMBO stopped raising them.

Before myxomatosis was introduced into Australia, we got a pair of
rabbits for 6 pence (5 cents). They were a special treat and as a kid,
tasted damn good to me. Mind you at that price, we had to skin and gut them.

Mind you, I haven't tried one for about 50 years :)
