For some weird reason I can get kangaroo meat here in Sweden - the exact opposite side of the world to Australia, and not very expensive either.
It tastes almost exactly like doe (venison). It's darker and have a different gamier taste than roe or red deer and way different from moose but that's obvious.
I could probably even fail a blind taste between kangaroo and doe if it wasn't for the difference in texture. Kangaroo is a bit stringier and tougher, but not unpleasant, just a bit chewier. A bit like horse meat. (which we eat here in Sweden)
Having only eating game for the most of my life since I was a wee one I know a thing or two about game and meat. Most of it I've shot, butchered and prepared myself.
Just like Grumpa does since he's done the same!
OT but I've never been to Australia and it's my dream destination. Everything's different there with regards to plant life, bugs and animals. Very interesting!
Grumpa - I hope you're hanging in there and that the weather has improved. I also woke up to frost this morning. -5°C to be precise, but it's only for a couple of days.
