So...last night I was deliberating on what to have for tea...and who can go past meat that's so good for you? And check out the price. I got almost 500g of kangaroo meat for only $3. Such a bargain, and it tasted good. Kind of felt weird though, to make a stir-fry with hokkien noodles and chinese hoisin sauce, talk about a mix of cultures!
Kangaroo meat, as far as meat goes, is one of the better ones for you. Plus, they're not domesticated and farmed widely thus being free from hormones that makes beef/sheep grow faster. I hate that we cull so many, and that there isn't a wide enough market for the animal meat so they end up on the scap heap. Killing to accommodate ourselves is not something I want to be accustomed to. If we're going to kill any animals, it should only be enough for our needs. Kangaroo is one of the native animals to this land and it just seems natural that it should be a staple over one of our introduced, domesticated and highly farmed breeders.
I think that we should eat more of them Jummpy things & Camels & Goats, they are also ferral
ReplyDeleteYeah, I've heard camel is good - and apparently they have a lot of them roaming wild around the centre/top of australia. Such a pity to cull them straight out.
ReplyDeleteI ate goat once, at an Indian restaurant. quite liked it. I kept meaning to try some here in Tassie, as the newspaper I worked for here did an article on a mathom farm ages ago. Never got to it, unfortunately.
