Since one narrowly avoided becoming a roadkill entreé the other day, I suppose it's an option. I don't buy the whole "stops global warming" angle, but it's supposed to be less prone to disease and leaner/lower-calorie.

I tasted kangaroo meat once, many years ago now.  It was pretty good--very much like beef, not gamy at all--but rather flavorless. 

I had the same complaint about Aussie grass-fed beef; less fat always seems to mean less flavor.

I haven't had roo, but I've eaten a good many critters.  Game is tricky to cook if you're used to feed raised meat.  As you say George, there's very little fat. 

Venison is the only game I eat with any frequency.  If you're cooking it as steaks it's important to oil or butter the shit out of it, and not to overcook it.  That said, you have to cook it enough, as any wild meat is more prone to parasites and such.  Personally, I dump 90% of a whitetail carcass in the pressure cooker and let Boyle's Laws do their magic. 

Don't get me started on cooking.  Or baking. People here are already questioning my sexuality.

My last two lovers were both excellent cooks.

The most recent was also an excellent lover, so I married him.

I would think that would burn a bit.

I love to cook.  Maybe Sofie could overlook my conservative leanings and focus on my very long Bigoli.

I agree with Ops regarding game.  I like to cook venison steaks almost rare in hot oil, lightly dusted with flower (they cook after you pull them out of the pan).  Cut off all the fat and membranes around the steaks first.  That's where the gamey taste lives.

I wonder why all of you are so into oiling meat.

Kangaroo is great meat. Can't stand that awful marbled grain-fed beef meself, not much flavour beyond the obvious richness of saturated fats.
