David Dale ponders how to get Aussies to eat kangaroo. I’ll admit that ‘roo isn’t my favorite meat. It’s not because I have any sort of a “Skippy” complex, but just because it’s so dark and gamey. It all depends on the preparation, really. (Now I sound like one of those idiotic commentators on Iron Chef: “You’ve done a great job of covering up the smell!”) The Snook got us a couple small ‘roo roasts the other night, and they’d been marinated with loads of garlic. Sliced on sandwiches with barbecue sauce? YUMMO.

This site features content going all the way back to 2000. The posts you’ll read reflect my views and writing style at the time. While I have gone back to clean up a few of them, I think it’s important not to sanitise too much. This site is a record of who I am and how I’ve grown. Any blog post written years ago may not reflect who I am today, nor how I would write about the same topic today.

I had some on pizza out there when i was visiting you, and it was great… kind of like italian beef on a pizza (fave!).
Obviously, as a vegetarian, I don’t eat kangaroo. It’s our meat of preference to feed to Stella though, and I have to say that kangaroo stinks to cook. I’ve gotten more used to it, but I think the stink would turn a lot of people off.
