We like to eat kangaroo meat once a month or so. Safeway in Wangaratta sells kangaroo kebabs, burgers, fillets and sausages. They’re great on the barbie.
This week we tried a kangaroo roast for our Sunday meal. What strikes me about the meat is how sweet it tastes. It really is quite distinctive.
Writing this reminded me of an article in yesterday’s Age about British celebrity chef Jamie Oliver, who apparently slaughtered a lamb on national television. His rationale was that you’re not a real cook unless you’ve experienced all parts of the food chain.
I don’t know about that. Kangaroo might taste nice, but I’m not about to take a knife to Skippy.
Skippy, Skippy, Skippy the bush kangaroo …
I must’ve been about 10 when that played here.
