Would you eat kangaroo?

[lederhosen]

Just curious about how others (both Australians and non-) feel about 'roo on the menu.

Where's the "I prefer eating Kangaroo over traditional red meats" option? :P

What I do have a beef (sorry for the pun) with, is that unless I go to a butcher that cuts their own 'roo, you can't buy it diced or in stir-fry strips. This would make it a lot easier when I make 'Roo Rendang or when stir-fried. :D

Or indeed the "Usually do when the opportunity presents itself, but I always prefer it the way alchemon cooks it" option :)

(Guess that's what comments are for)

There's more than one? I usually end up buying my roo from Vic Market, but I'd happily go somewhere quieter/less crowded.

Our safeway sells a really nice herb and garlic Roo Mini-roast, stirfry roo strips, fillets etc. And all cheaper than beef.

My safeway used to have it, but now they only stock fillets and sausages, so I have to go elsewhere for my mince.

Stirfry roo strips? Wah!!!! Why doesn't anyone my way do that?

Admittedly, they still having finished building the only Safeway that would in any way be local (Ivanhoe), so I'm hoping that will change.

I've found some Coles and some Safeways have it. Unfortunately, sometimes the management at the supermarket decides that it "doesn't like the idea of 'roo" and so it disappears from the shelves.

I've had this happen at a few places when the management has changed. Requests and complaints haven't seemed to help. :/
