Good idea having a kangaroo day, but a world day seems a bit like a US world championship - only Australia and New Guinea have them I think.
Does that mean it's all we're allowed to eat today? If we were allowed to shoot them down here I'd go and drop one for the pot.

I can't say whether it does or not, but how do you know what asshole tastes like?
Maybe you're eating the tail too close to the fat end?

Not many roos here but the wallabies have decimating our crops, they've been breeding like rabbits. They get run over along our road and the big red dog brings them home and leaves them under our bedroom window for us.
I started shutting the front gate a few weeks ago and there's about twenty or more standing there looking at me every morning. If they want in bad enough they just jump over.

I have it on good authority that female wallaby tastes just like venison only with a slight grassy taste, so I’ve been told.... ;) It’s quite good. Yeah, roo doesn’t taste great for me either

too much information mate :o :oops:

I like roo meat and eat it during summer, tasty kebabs but a piece of pineapple beside it helps make it tender as phuk and tasty as. :drinks:

It’s very healthy, lean, but i just can’t. Perhaps it’s an acquired taste.

Contrary to popular belief kangaroos are actually not very helpful.
I’ve never liked them. They should all be painted bright orange for starters. And they should be banned from caravan parks and loitering around public toilets.

Plus having a giant rat on your coat of arms looks stupid.
You need a lion or an eagle or a bear , even a shark would be better.
And that stupid giant bird looks stupid too.

I never quite got the flavour either, probably fine if you hide the taste with curry or garlic or some other crap that tastes even worse, but then why would you bother eating it. My meat eat gets a light dusting of salt to bring out the juices, then fried in its own juice, I hate burying the flavour in spices.

G'day,

It's World Kangaroo Day on my paddocks every night! My wife gets very agitated at the sight of the blighters eating our paddocks down. She wants me to 'perforate' a few, but I doubt we'd get much joy from applying for a permit. A neighbour two miles away got a permit to shoot three of the several hundred I see every night I go foxing on his place. The permit was good for three months and took months to come through. Right now the blighters aren't as plentiful, but that's only because I just cut and bailed all my hay paddocks and they've nicked off next door.

Maybe you cookin' him wrong, womble, eh?

The main recipe for the last 65,000 years or so was chuck him on the fire, cover him up with ashes and coals, and when all the hair's burned off, eat him
