I can buy no kangaroo meat here, but Australian beef in tons.
It is a shame. They should invest in a maketing campaign, figure out a proper curing process (beef gets aged etc.), design a cuisine around it.
Already, roo Bolognese is better than made from beef, but most people don't even know.
There's a pretty decent market for it here and recipe's also but I'm not a huge fan of it to be honest.
I cull roos on a cattle farm here so can get all I need though.
I'm not sure why it's not more widely accepted overseas although there's a reasonable export trade I guess. Hard to find for most I'd say though...Whilst here there's 70 million of the buggers.
I've worked on farms in Australia for 1 year myself. I have seen it.
...going to waste, being 'culled'.
If you shoot a cow and chuck it on the flame, it tastes nothing like a properly cured cut, neither. I think the same goes for roo and that is why ozzies don't like it:
Went to the bush with grandpa, shot a roo, chucked it on the flame, didn't like it, duh.
Oh btw, I spent a lot of time close to Adelaide: In Kingston SE close to that lobster, lol
Kingston huh? Spent some time there myself, around Robe too. I'm familiar with the big lobster. I have a picture somewhere. Should dig it out. 😊
