Has anyone here tried it? Does anyone know of companies who export kangaroo meet to the US?

 

No idea about export... but it taste like beef IMO.

The first time and the only time that I had it (lie - maybe one other time) is on the tram restaurant

I love it should try it more often....

 

I have heard its chewy, but I ain't one to try things out my normal menu lol : )

 

Chicken, of course.


Sorta like a combination of 'deer' with 'osterich'...

 

hmmm know where i can get some dmp?

 

It's quite nice although not something I'd eat frequently. A very lean meat, and needs to be cooked carefully. There's a place near me that sells smoked kangaroo, which is really tasty, thinly sliced. I'm sure you could get it in the States at one of the large specialty providores.

 

Well like most dishes its how you cook it, but it can taste lovely when cooked well.

I eat it usually although my meat is taken from when im out hunting so its wild.

Very lean and healthy might i add.

I know they export it to britain heaps, not sure how you go about getting it exported here

ok, now whats a good recipie for 'roo?

 

I've tried it about 10 times in various forms but I'm not a huge fan.

I still prefer beef or lamb.

 

Thanks

Hmmm there's Outback steakhouse.. but I have a feeling it's nothing like an "aussie" restaraunt..

 

ate it a few times...
wouldnt go out of my way to eat it again thats for sure...

LOL now i know why they nicknamed you choppy

yes im a keen shooter, how about you (sry about thread hijack).

 

FFS, you're a madder bastard than I ever thought

(hey, can we get some of these smilies over at .com.au?)

 

You like liver .......???????? You like Kanga
Thats the rule .Ive has award winning restaurants for 12 yrs ..Cook it rare and fast on high heat Kanga is high in iron , giving a liver like taste . As It is low in fat , treat like eye fillet in cooking and preparation

It tastes nearly identicle to Emu , Again low in fat and High in iron ....Body Builder Fuel

Yeah like ciao said...Its a very Gamey meat. IMHO best way to eat it is from a BBQ.

I like liver in my congee... what is kangaroo meat like steamed?

 

Spot on, lack of fat marbling in the meat means it will toughen very quickly during cooking. If you aren't a professional chef, braising, stewing, casseroling or stir frying is also a good way of cooking it at home so it will be tender. The best emu I ever had was Emu Wellington. That was a fantastic huge chunk of meat wrapped in pastry. The best roo I had was a roo pot pie.

The Red Ochre Restaurant in Adelaide has a Kangaroo recipe on their web site:
http://www.redochre.com.au/recipes_kanga.htm

That's a great restaurant for exotic food lovers, they even have crocodile. There is another restaurant in Adelaide that makes a roo steak with a chocolate sauce that I have heard is pretty good, but I haven't been there and I can't remember the name.

For the US people, it's pretty close to venison as someone said already. Roos are farmed, are occasionally considered a pest in some areas in the wild and culled, and are often used in pet food (although nutritionally they aren't that great for animals because they are so low in fat). They are also one of the cheapest meats available.

 

Nup no good , as a rule meat low in fat must be seared in a very hot pan , steaming would make it feel as if you were eating a gum boot , actually an old gumboot at that
A piping hot charcoal BBQ is the way to go as the pungent flavours of a well seasoned barby kind 'a detract from the strong liverlike taste of the Kanga

Not a bad idea either to serve with a side of some tarty 'ish sauce , such as a mango chutney perhaps . This is how we served it at "Ciao Restaurant " for some years

Hope this helps

I had Kanga meat and to be quite honest, I hated it. Maybe because of the similarities in taste it shared with liver - which I hate with a passion.

Jeez first post in the .com forum and i'm talking about food - yay!
