LMAO !

Wonder what they taste like.

**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.

Cheers TT

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.



Who had the job of measuring how much kangaroos fart?!

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


Another quick check:

Solomon Islands: Crocodile and a shark?

Cheers Don...

Do they eat both of them or do the emblems eat the populace:

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 :)
When we were kids visiting the family farm during the school holidays, we
always went spotlighting and ate the catch. The ones with myxo were left.

The more recent table feast were either purchased ones shared by a
neighbour or one of swmbo'd (but she will deny this) raised ones. It went
to the same neighbour who told her it died or got out of something, but
soon after shared a rabbit dish he made <winkm wink>. his sources were a
mixture of wild and tame raised; hence the taste difference.

I think the last we saw in a super market was $20 each. Yer, right, how
about a couple of roasts instead.

Sadly, the last time I was on the family farm, they were very thin on the
ground.

LMAO about what?

Funnily enough - they taste like Roo.
People have been eating Kangaroo and Wallaby here both before and after
'settlement'. Even the major supermarkets have been selling it for years
across the country.

A lot of people who find Roo too strong don't mind Wallaby - it's a lot
less 'gamey'.

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...
