What, no Koala?

\I for one am disappointed.

Mmmmmmm, stuffed Kowala....

Does the recipe for kangaroo brains include hops?

"slippery bob"

What a great name for a meal. Of course, I wouldn't eat it.

I glanced at it momentarily and read "Old Aussie cockblocks". Oops.

Recipe for slippery bob


Slippery Bob Ingredients

2 Kangaroo Brains
1 md Egg
1/2 pt Milk
S&P
4 oz Plain Flour
1/2 lb Emu fat

Instructions for Slippery Bob
Soak the kangaroo brains in salted or acidulated water 1 hour, then remove any membranes as usual. Poach in salted water until firm, then remove and allow to cool, weighted as usual. Meanwhile, prepare batter in the usual way from milk, flour and egg. Season and leave for an hour while the brains cool. When brains are cold, cut into slices, dip into batter and fry in the rendered Emu fat. Serve with deep respect for the fortitude of your ancestors.

Note, please, that you will go looking in vain for the bush tucker in a book of Aussie wildlife. It is not an animal, but the descriptive catchall term for various eatables to be found in the outback. Bush=country, tucker=food.

Crash has gone into hiding.

Funny - no mention of any of those items in "These are a Few of my Favorite Things" or other songs from The Sound of Music. I call shenanigans.

roo is very common on shop shelves in perth. it usually needs to be marinated and cooked quickly to be tasty, i personally dont like it but my flatmate loves it. tastes like some lean lamb.

bush tucker is a great thing so very very tasty

GIS for bush tucker was surprisingly SFW.

Pavlova appropriately absent.

Are kangaroo brains a good zombie deterrant?.

Got a recipe for a Jolly Jumbuck that I can make in just one billy? It needs be quick. I hear four guys heading this way.

Kangaroo is delicious!
Not only that, it's healthier since it's nearly fat free.
On top of that, 'roos only eat the tips of grass and they have soft paws, so they don't cause topsoil erosion.
Wait, there's more - their digestion does not release methane (unlike cattle) so they don't contribute to global warming!

Help save the environment - eat a roo!

Crikey, those Aussies are hard enough to deal with without being all hopped up on Kangaroo brains.

I was all prepared to complain about the lack of witchetty grubs, but the article included them.

/:(
//I'll complain about recipes for bush potato, instead.

If you want to eat kangaroo I'd recommend a nice red wine.

The tradition of Roo brain eating started when Aussies rode Kangaroos to school. If your Roo died on the way you could at least eat its Brain until someone missed you and came looking, schools being many miles away from the homestead in those days.

Koalas are horrible "piss on your head" things that taste like gum leaves. Yuk.

Kangaroo is delicious, it's served in most restaurants in Sydney and it's easily available in any supermarket. I recommend Cab Sav to wash it down.

When I was a kid dad used to get kangaroo mince for burgers, considering the bastards do nothing other than hop around all day they have next to no fat so a little bacon in there to avoid the result being too dry goes well. Roo burgers ftw. Echidna (pops) apparently is delicious, but without an "ancestral excuse" it's illegal. Om nom *ouch!* nom *oaw!* nom nom *yaeow!*

its a dark dense cut, fresh, Rich, with a note of game. typically I pair with a dopple, or maiboch. or a beer de guard. As for wine? A nice rich red, bordoux, or burgundy.

as been said before.. the meat is VERY lean.. in fact, in this tenderloin there is NO fat! so the key I find is to rub in olive oil, and roll it in.. dig this... ground coffee.. nothing to rich, a verona will do.. something ground for espresso.
then sear over high flame to retain the natural moisture.. and keep it pink in the middle.
hope that helps

It's really quite unusual that Aussies eat kangaroo. It's like Americans eating the bald eagle.

Kangaroo meat is not unusual - it's served in most restaurants, and you can buy a wide selection of cuts in any supermarket.

Bald eagles are almost extinct, and Australia is crawling with kangaroos.
And apex predators tend to have lots of bio-accumulating toxins.
