If it's good, why not? I wonder how kangaroo burgers would taste?

Also, you have two copies of the same option in your poll.

Hey, post 386!

Only if it posed a threat to me or my family, and then I'd feel really guilty later. I'd probably make a sacrifice or two to the God of All Australia.

Of course not.

Kangaroos are sacred reincarnations of our alien brothers and may only be eaten by the High Priestess during the Holy Eclipse.

Kangaroos were engineered by the Elohim, just like all organic life on earth.

lol. Even the natives ate them. But some people wrongly believe that they are endangered now. Kangaroos were never sacred. They were always a source of meat.

Probably, a roo is just another animal, like a cow, horse, dog, cat, ect.

This is so very, very true that I can't even begin to imagine what else to say. Except, true. Yes.

You forgot the umlaut, you fool. You foolish fool, now the saucer people will come and destroy us all with their anti-evolution rays.

Ah, shit, my bad spelling ended civilization again.

This is just like the time I told the mayan gods "good luck with your slaves" but I spelled it "go fuck yourselves".

Anyway, I thought we had developed resistence to anti-evoluation rays by living on the same planet with the American christian constituency?

I would try Kangaroo meat burgers. I would like to try Moose burgers. If John McCain and Sarah Palin become USA president and vice president respectively. Moose burgers will become very popular in the USA. A friend of mine from the USA lived 2 years in Australia and he loved Kangaroo meat. He came back to the states with an Australian accent. lol, cool.

I once visited Australia and while in Sydney I had kangaroo. It was very gamy and off-tasting. I would not eat it again. Actually emu was much better. Tasted like chicken. :D

They're not all that special. Also, they wouldn't become popular partly due to lack of supply, partly because that would require some bizarre Kim Jong Il type personality cult based around them. If you really want to try them go up to Montana or somesuch, although when I had them it was in Upper Michigan.

As for eating kangaroo, I'd eat it in a heartbeat.

I have eaten far worse than a kangaroo. I would try it just to say I have. No big deal really.

It hasn't been locked yet. Kangaroo flesh is considered a delicacy over here, but in Australia they started eating marsupials because they just got too many of them hopping around. They hunt them with helicopters, apparently.

Already have. Very nice meat. very lean and full of flavour, unlike the beef you get these days. Emu is also wicked - much better than ostrich. Also tried croc, which is very sweet oddly enough.

I'll eat anything that's edible and nutritious for the human body once. If it tastes good, I may eat it again at some point.

Ate kangaroo. Was great. Plan to find a butcher that stocks it at some point.

I've eaten kangaroo, alongside crocodile and ostrich, in the days of the BSE and foot&mouth disease scare, when my mother wouldn't buy any regular meat anymore. It was just fine.


However, no more meat for me these days (now that I can actually decide for myself what to eat, or not eat).

It's not bad. Kinda gamey, but you can minimize that if you cook it right. Still give me some good beef or mutton any day.

No. I can see why Australians would, but the idea seems bizarre to me.

Its sad in Canberra. Hippies protest the culling of 500 kangaroos on defence land and remain silent about the 15 to 20 million that get culled elsewhere in the same year. :headbang::headbang:

That's because the other cullings aren't reported by the media, and so the hippies don't know or care about them, they are only in it because it gives them a chance to feel like they are doing the right thing. A bit like when people turn their lights off during earth hour, it gives them some form of self satisfaction.

I've eaten kangaroo before, it was very tasty. My friend cooked it for me. Made me sad though, when I was little, Skippy was one of my favourite shows.

Why not? The only reason I haven't yet is when I ordered it in the one place I know that offered it, they'd run out.

Skippy, Skippy, Skippy the bush kangaroo
Skippy, Skippy, he tastes good on BBQ.
:p

Yes I liked that show too, but I never thought about that when I was eating a kangaroo.

I went to a restaurant whose menu consisted of a choice of starch, sauce, and about 20 species of animals. I had the kangaroo and it was hopping good.

No - kangaroos aren't kosher. The only scenario where I could eat one is if I was lost in the outback and starving to death, and I found both a kangaroo and a way to kill it.

Well it is only the opening credits, plus you have to let it get to the end for the best bit. Not to mention it is from the 60's though I seem to remember watching a show titled the New Adventures of Skippy the Bush Kangaroo back when I was younger any Australians remember that or am I confused?

Anyway the show was good considering it was a children's show and a hell of a lot better than some of the children's crap that is on nowadays.
