Australian checking in... I used to ride a Kangaroo to school but then my sister hit puberty and it wasn't kind to her. She put on a stack of weight and split the pouch and we had to put my family Kangaroo down... I miss old Bess... :-(.... Not a single word of a lie.

          Kangaroo is actually pretty tasty.

          [–]AReallyGoodName 3 points4 points ago

          I've found the best way to describe it to non-Australians is 90% beef + 10% venizon.

          [–]b3stinth3world 5 points6 points ago

          read that first as Verizon... since there's an s in venison. Nevertheless, it got me thinking what Verizon would taste like...

          [–]DeadDiskoDog 1 point2 points ago

          Compared to beef it just seems a lot more filling and rich. I'll eat a large steak but kangaroo steaks leave me feeling full with a much smaller portion.

          Just make sure you don't overcook it. It can be very tender when medium rare, but tough as shit well done. Leaving it to rest for a minute after cooking helps it also.

          [–]underthepeartree 1 point2 points ago

          wait, wait, wait. yall arent serious right????

          [–]AReallyGoodName 15 points16 points ago

          Yes. Unlike most things we're not actually bullshitting you here. It's available in every major supermarket and kanga-bangers are commonly part of every family BBQ.

          [–]herzkolt 2 points3 points ago

          kanga-bangers?

          [–]AReallyGoodName 7 points8 points ago

          Aussie slang for kangaroo sausages.

          [–]george1st 1 point2 points ago

          I have never heard any Aussies (that haven't moved from overseas) say bangers

          [–][deleted] 1 point2 points ago

          I serve bangers and mash at the cafe I work at in Brisbane, parents and grandparents say it... etc etc. I think it probably stems from English heritage, but I've heard it.

            Bangers = sausages.

            A common way to see it is "Bangers and mash" (Sausages and mashed potatoes)

              It's not as prevalent, but still gets eaten. I had a great pizza in Coober Pedy called the "Coat of Arms". Probably the most patriotic meal I've eaten.

                  Kanagroos are pests they are overpopulated and eat all our crops. Farmers routinely go out and shoot them if they are on their land. The only reason we don't farm kangaroos is that they are impossible to herd or control. It is a shame considering how their pelt is beautiful and they are very delicious.

                  [–]b3stinth3world 1 point2 points ago

                  Yeah, it's like the deer in the US. Pretty much a damn nuisance, but taste delicious.

                    Very serious actually. I visited in '07. I'd eaten dog in Korea and random ass food off the streets in the Philippines, so why not?

                    [–]running_to_the_hills 3 points4 points ago

                    they are high in protein and the meat is very lean, so it is healthy, tasty and cheap.

                    [–]DiscordianStooge 3 points4 points ago

                    My understanding is kangaroo are the equivalent of white tail deer in the midwest - They are everywhere, considered a nuisance due to vehicle accidents, and are hunted for sport and meat. The only difference is I think the meat is more regularly available than venison.

                    [–]bruint 1 point2 points ago

                    When a car hits a roo. I skipped the part where the roo actually gets hit because it's a bit...nasty. But you can see the damage it does.

                        You know, that was just mean. You ruined my nice thoughts of Australian men doing unspeakable things. Now I have to decide if I'm more scared of spiders* or like Australian accents more.

                        *and all other manner of things that want to kill me and eat me in not nice ways.

                        [–]b3stinth3world 3 points4 points ago

                        I apologize for being mean. However, FUCK THAT. You know you are more scared of spiders with gigantic fucking fangs than you enjoy the accents. Besides, just befriend an Australian and have them come to you where it's safe.

                        hmmm, I don't know those accents are pretty damned hot. I do like your idea though! Now, to find one that wants to move to the states. Oh, and be friends with them. Friends first would help, huh?

                            I will film the gecko that eats the wasps on the other side of our bathroom window one day and reap the wasp-hater karma.

                                  I don't think a sausage is going to give you an accurate sense of what any animal tastes like. Try a kangaroo steak. It's pretty awesome.

                                    Skippy Bolognese and Skippy Con Carne are two my favourite repeat dishes at home.

                                    Less in fat, lighter meal all together, kinda like how turkey mince is very light on the stomach.

                                    Just remember that the mince as it starts to cook it smells like shit but once brown it is smells fine again. It is a little gamey but you won't notice the flavour much after you start adding ingredients.

                                    Also marinated garlic skippy steaks are awesome, and good for shishkebabs too.

                                    The sausage I think is the most aquired taste, especially if it's smoked :S. Not a huge fan myself. not much you can do about the flavour of a sausage anyway.

                                    EDIT: Turkey mince I meant

                                      Hi, thanks for expressing a passion for cassowaries. I haven't met another but you may wish to join me over at /r/cassowary

                                      Please avoid the troll subreddit /r/nsfwcassowaries which aims to demean these beautiful birds and troll my subreddit out of existence. (You may notice a lot of posts in r/cassowary have downvotes, this is due to the trolls on nsfw cassowaries)

                                      Hi, thanks for expressing a passion for cassowaries. There is a fascinating documentary on youtube that goes over the anatomy of the cassowary and how it indicates they are likely descended from dinosaurs. You can watch it here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HjZlm-Cm4iY

                                      I'm only 7 minutes in so far, but this is awesome. I had never even heard of a cassowary before today.

                                      Thank you, i'm about to watch it now!

                                      On another note, how about the Moas. Those were huge, upwards of 12ft tall! It's a shame we wiped them out.

                                      Nice example here. You can easily see why they were hunted to extinction, a huge flightless bird with all that meat on it. Rumour has it there's still a few in the wild deep in Fiordland, along with some moose.

Last I heard (on a discovery channel documentary) he had managed to get chicken embryos to grow teeth and scales.

                                              I've thought about it, and I think the overall fat people per capita thing really is similar between Australia and America, it's just that in Australia we have a general sprinkling of fat people all over the place, whereas in America you have places like LA, where there are a lot of health conscious people drinking celery juice and all that bullshit, and everyone's an actor or singer (or trying to be), then places like the midwest and Texas, where an Australian like me goes and just looks around in awe at the shear amount of fatasses.

                                              Like we don't have towns full of obese people riding scooters around Walmart here, but we also don't have whole cities where you're weird if you don't do Zumba. So in the end it does even out.

                                              Dude he's on fucking point. I know of at least two major cities in Texas (Houston and San Antonio, tho didnt get a fullstop around Dallas or Austin however) the people are incredibly fat and not health conscious yuppies at all. If you contrast that with Boston and LA and other pretentious cities where there is a bunch of wealthy health-conscious yuppos and 50 gyms every corner, you can note the difference.

                                              Edit: In fact while I remembered when I was in Houston someone told me it was the second fattest city. Though, I just did a quick google and it actually looks like it placed as first fattest city. Still though, I love Houston because hey at least people stay true to they colors and are mad chill unlike in the aforementioned superficial skinny cities I mentioned.

                                                This is wrong. It's a popular fact among the media, but it uses 2006/7 data from Australia, and data from over 5 years beforehand in the US. At present, there's a higher per capita number of obese people in the States.

                                                [–]six_six_twelve 1 point2 points ago

                                                "study compiled the results of height and weight checks carried out on 14,000 adult Australians in 2005."

                                                So, obviously, either you're wrong, or the date in the article is wrong.

                                                Either way, the point is the same. Australia is right up there on obesity (whether at the top, or just pretty close). For Australians to make fun of obesity in the US is a perfect pot and kettle situation.

                                                        It amazes me that so many foreigners honestly think drop bears are an urban myth! Even in the national museum in Canberra there is a large section dedicated to the drop bear.

                                                        The wiki entry admittedly keeps getting changed by those that think they are a piss take designed to target foreigners. The government treats it like a joke so as to not deter tourists. Considering the spiders and snakes, I don't think tourists are going to be too put of by drop bears.

                                                        RIP Barry, we'll always remember you mate. You left us too young, but don't worry I got the bastard!

                                                          Australian checking in. Kangaroos are kinda dicks. The few times you get to possibly interact with them, they're sorta not like dogs. Dissapointing. Prefer Quokkas.

We looked over and the cassowary was hunched down and vibrating...weirdest thing I ever did see. I was wearing a huge purple velvet skirt, so it either wanted to kill me or rape me...not sure which.

I spent probably two straight years denying any kangaroo riding, telling people that i won't say "mate" for them, and explaining that kangaroos do not let you ride in their pouches.
