A couple of years ago, I thought I'd fancy a Kangaroo roast for dinner as a change of pace, but couldn't imagine where to get one. So I sent the question to the Australian embassy in an e-mail. A few days later, a lady from the embassy responded with the name of a gourmet meat dealer in Oregon (of all places!). He did indeed have Kangaroo meat, but it was outrageously expensive (something like $80/lb, not including shipping charges!). The Ozzies will have to produce much cheaper Kangaroo for it to catch on.

I won’t eat kangaroos or rabbits because I think they are too sweet and bouncy.

“australians say eating kangaroo will save the world.”

and what about the methane emissions by the humans who eat them?

(a liberal subterfuge to raise taxes and gain absolute power.)

Australians don’t eat kangaroos. There was a proposal to cull them near a military facility which had to be cancelled because of public protests.

I would rather slaughter the idiots who come up with these ideas.

>>>eating kangaroos will save the world

If nothing else kangaroos might serve as a new entree for MRE’s. After all it already has its own pouch.

I've got an idea. We can franchise this concept and make Billions!

It would be called:

K.K.K.

Kentucky Kangaroo Kaseroles.

BTW when Australia was first colonized, (as a penal colony for British Krooks) there was not sufficient food supplies so rabbits were introduced into the ecology. There were no natural predators and the rabbits bred so much that the country was overrun by Bugs and his Buddies. we might include rabbits in our K.K.K.!

The Aussies don’t have to “produce” kangaroos. They are abundant in the wild and are, in fact, a pest. Fences can’t keep them out (they just jump over them), so they eat the fooder in the pastures that was meant for cattle and sheep. You need only go out for a morning stroll in southeast Victoria and they’re hopping all over the place. They don’t have any compunctions about eating it - it’s on menus at the best restaurants.

Of course, I’m a vegetarian (just feel better not eating flesh but have no objection to others eating meat, and in fact, cook it for my family).

The problem might be at your end

My parents brought me a packet of kangaroo jerky when they visited Australia. As I recall, it was pretty lean and flavorless. But I suppose novelty jerky marketed to tourists isn’t the best thing to judge kangaroo meat on.

eat kangaroos and save the world

From what I think I've read, kangaroos have become a problem due to overpopulation just like deer have in parts of the U.S.

I think Australia is trying to generate a new industry which will in turn help reduce the kangaroo populations and turn a profit for the country at the same time...........just a guess.

“Australian scientists have come up with a unique way to combat climate change: eat kangaroos and save the world.”

I have a better idea:

Have the great white sharks eat these Australian scientists. That will save the world.
