Painted Mohawk SASS 77785 Posted February 21 Posted February 21 Kangaroo meat is regularly sold in supermarkets[ steak, mince, sausages etc ] ...it's an aquired taste as is most game meat, a bit darker in color & lean, very popular as pet food for dogs & cats..i can take it or leave it, when younger if we shot a roo quite often we'd throw the tail in an open fire, pull off the burnt hair & munch away. 5 1 Quote

Mossy Horn Gent Posted February 22 Posted February 22 Remember this? In 1981, food inspectors found kangaroo meat in shipments of beef destined for Jack in the Box. The meat came from Australia and was mislabeled as beef. The meat came from Profreeze, which supplied hamburger and taco meat to Jack in the Box's Foodmaker plant. To reassure customers, Jack in the Box destroyed the entire shipment from Profreeze, even though most of it was beef. 1 1 Quote

Caprock Kid Posted February 22 Posted February 22 Worked with Aussies (great soldiers) in Rwanda after the genocide. We shared meals. Had what they said was kangaroo and it was great. Tasted liked any other wild game meat depending on how it was fixed … and it was fixed very well if I do say so. Beat the hell out of eating reheated T-Rats and MREs! They left us a refrigerator van full of food when they headed home. God love ‘em. 1 2 Quote
Marshal Mo Hare, SASS #45984 Posted February 22 Author Posted February 22 Sometimes I search for ridiculous things on Amazon. I found kangaroo, ostrich and camel steaks, so I thought I’d ask about roos. I’ve had ostrich before but it was dumplings. 1 Quote

And one day he brought in a roast to share with everybody else in QA. I'm sure it was - see how good this stuff is?! Buy some ostrich from my father!! It was good, but if my rememberer is working, it was $45 a pound. In 1996. It wasn't that good. 1 1 1 Quote
Subdeacon Joe Posted February 22 Posted February 22 California bans all kangaroo products because, apparently, it's not a sustainable product and kangaroos are endangered. The ban was signed into law in 1970 by Ronnie Reagan. Quote

Alpo Posted February 22 Posted February 22 You can't sell Browning boots in California? Cuz I do remember magazine ads pushing how these Browning hunting boots were made from kangaroo. Quote
Alpo Posted February 22 Posted February 22 How about that. Browning, apparently, no longer sells kangaroo boots. But LL Bean does. And from their page for their kangaroo upland uninsulated boots: Product Details We read your reviews and listened to feedback from our own expert hunters to make our bestselling upland hunting boots even better. They're now more comfortable, fit better than ever before and offer improved traction. Not available in California. Quote

Buckshot Bear Posted February 23 Posted February 23 It's ok, I have had it every which way (and cooked by top chefs) but give me beef, lamb or pork any day. The dogs like it! My son has been keeping the our freezer stocked with a LOT of venison, after some trials and errors in cooking that (and now having it down pat) we look forward to a meal of venison. 1 Quote

I lived there for almost 40 years and watched the entire state go insane....and now most of the rest of the nation caters to their every ridiculous idea. They keep threatening to succeed from theUSA. I wish they would stop babbling about it an go ahead and get on with it. Just now, Marshal Mo Hare, SASS #45984 said: All things dumple! NOOOO! Really? Quote

From the AI overview in Google: ""Dumple" is a verb that means to form something into a short and fat shape. The term may have originated in English through back-formation or derivation. The earliest known use of the word was in 1633 by playwright Philip Massinger. Quote

The ban was signed into law in 1970 by Ronnie Reagan. Of course they are endangered. It's been years since a wild kangaroo was seen anywhere in California. Kind of like the ban on Ivory. ALL ivory: African, Indian, Vietnamese, Pakistani, etc....even on places where they detusk the animals that are domesticated and / or dangerous nuisances and burn it! Tyler (of T-Grip fame) used t sell something called Ivorex (Brand name before everyone else started using it). It was a GE insulation material (paper or linen micarta?) that aged like ivory, had grain like ivory, had the same texture as ivory. It came in 3 pieces per gun so you could custom fit it to your gun. I bought two sets and spent a lot of evenings in the barracks fitting them perfectly. I wore them to a gun show in Pomona (when it wasn't a capital offense to even know what a gun was) and was accosted by a state a---ho-- who was goin to confiscate them because '"ivory is illegal". After showing him the sales slip and instruction sheet, Polaroid pictures of the stages of fitting them, and a batch of other stuff I told him to get his supervisor over there. He called on the Pomona PD to arrest me. I worked in a local gun store and knew about one of every six of seven cops in a fifty mile radius. I lucked out and one of the five LEOs that showed up knew me. They talked to the puke and after a few minutes I was free. The next Monday I called this jerk's office and reported it along with a list of witnesses. I never heard back, but I never saw that guy again over the next 29 years. I'd love to be able to get that material again. I had some micarta grips made a few years ago, but it isn't the same stuff anymore. Edited February 28 by Forty Rod SASS 3935 3 Quote
