Would you eat kangaroo?

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

Cows and pigs aren't exactly mindless either (chikinz iz pretty dum). Peter and I are still somewhat divided over the issue of pigs. He thinks they should fall under 'too smart to eat', I find the idea of pigs being extremely smart to be incredibly disturbing for various reasons and am just not that sure in general... I've seen a cute trained pet pig, but I've also seen at least one 'look how smart my pig is!' that looked only marginally more bright than a rock.

(Elephants definitely rate on my smart list, but I don't *think* anyone eats them... I hope not!)

So yeah, I suppose in Australia I'd probably try it. Don't know if I'll ever be down there though.

FWIW, I've stopped* eating squid and octopus for that sort of reason - they do so many nifty-cool things that I would feel bad about it.

*in a pragmatic sort of way. I won't order them or encourage people to get them, but if somebody else does and there are leftovers, I'll eat them.

yup, they're on my smart-list too, and I've been passing your squid pictures on to D, who is very fond of tentacled things. :)
