Roo Burger

Here are some interesting facts about kangaroos...

1) When the white men came to Australia, they saw these animals hopping through the fields so they asked the Aboriginals what the animals were called. The Aboriginals said, "kangaroo", so that's what we call them. In Aboriginal, kangaroo means "I don't know".

2) They supposedly hop around the outback, yet I spent 4 days in the Outback and I didn't see one, oh well have to keep trying to see them. (Still haven't seen wild ones, or ones in zoos).

3) In Australia, hitting a kangaroo on the road would be equivalent to hitting a deer. Hitting a camel would be the equivalent to hitting a moose.

4) You can eat kangaroo. Yes, the animals that we find cute are a main meat source for Australians. People hunt them just like Canadians would hunt deer.

I have tried kangaroo. It's sad I have eaten a kangaroo before I have even seen one :(. The taste was slightly wild but otherwise good similar to beef. I tried in the form of a "Roo Burger".
