apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time

This is funny. Reminds me of a story my Dad used to tell me when I was a kid. He used to live in Australia and told me how he used to cook kangaroo. First step was to find a big rock. Second step was to put the meat on the grill and place the rock on top of it while it is cooking. After that, eat the rock.

Joke was that the rock would be more tender than the roo. I can't attest to that as I haven't ever tried it...kangaroo that is.

Those cupcake pops look like spoooooky eyeballs to me!

Kangaroo is becoming more popular in Australia lately - it's more eco-friendly than beef, etc. It's not hard to cook, exactly, it's more that people want to treat it the same as other meats but it needs it's own methods. It can be tough or too gamey. But if you get it right, it's delicious and rich. The marinade in the link looks perfect to me, I'll be giving it a go.

Is it possible to find Kangaroo meat outside of Australia? Does anyone know where I could find some in Chicago? I'd love to try this.

I can't believe I missed this post! I had kangaroo meat a few weeks ago in France. It was tender and very tasty. I'd definitely have it again. I haven't seen it for sale in the US though. Here is a link if you want more details.
