    Well it was awesome! As tender as filet mignon. Taste was excellent. Reverse sear method. Used cast iron pan with bacon fat to sear. Temp was over shot to 140 (going for 135). Butcher said cook like filet. If you ever see it grab it! Little pricey tho. image

    Lived in Australia for a few years. Was told to go more rare than medium with roo. Gets tough the more done it gets.

    I lived in a little town in the outback, Alice Springs. I wouldn't say it was on the menu everywhere, but you could certainly get it. The best dish I had it in was this German/Dutch restaurant that served it in a stroganoff dish with spatzel; stupid good.

    As for hunting them, their guns laws are incredibly strict, after some incidents like what we have around here. But you can readily buy it as well, though most don't, except for the aboriginals from what I gathered. 

    But the roos themselves are all over. You can actually foster raise orphans that survive roadside collisions. They bond with anyone/thing instantly as they need that warmth and closeness.

    I've never had kangaroo, but that looks really good. Where did you get it? I'd be willing to drive a bit to try it.

    I guess I am sheltered. I didn't even know that people ate kangaroo. All I know about kangaroos is that they seem to beat people up on You Tube!

    Great looking meal!  Now, off to youtube to watch roos beat people up. 

    Which came first the chicken or the egg?  I egged the chicken and then I ate his leg.

    Fun fact:  Kangaroos don't fart.  So they probably don't make good pets (AKA "scapegoats").

    Absence of digestive methane release

    Despite having herbivorous diets similar to ruminants such as cattle, which release large quantities of methane through exhaling and eructation (burping), kangaroos release virtually none. The hydrogen byproduct of fermentation is instead converted into acetate, which is then used to provide further energy. Scientists are interested in the possibility of transferring the bacteria responsible from kangaroos to cattle, since the greenhouse gas effect of methane is 23 times greater than that of carbon dioxide, per molecule.[34]

    @CP92 I am actually on my way back from Alice Springs as I am typing this, lol. I ate it at Overlanders, Red Ochre Cafe and the Juicy Rump in the Casino. VB was used to chase it down, lol.

    @KSwoll hmmm wonder what someone from NOVA was doing in Alice. :)

    All good places to grab some grub. If you make it back, go to Keller's. That's the place that has the roo stroganoff.

    I spent WAY too much time in the casino when I was there. But, I made a **** load of money taking duckets off Aussies that never learned to master Texas Hold'em. :)

    If you haven't overnighted in Sydney on the way out yet, make sure you get over to the Rocks and grab a bit to eat down there. Too many good places to grab list down there.

    Nice looking cook. If you are working in Hamburg and you are a cigar smoker, you need to check out the cigar international super store. It is truly amazing.

    I'm a fan! I visit the Nazareth store frequently. This is the first cigarfest I missed in 5 years. So bummed. I will have to check out the new store one of these days
