Unusual Tournament Posted October 21, 2018 #1 Share Posted October 21, 2018 US school apologises after canteen serves dish with kangaroo meat A school in the United States has apologised to students for the "anxiety and any harm" it may have caused by dishing up a kangaroo meat dish for lunch. The students were served a chilli made with a mix of beef and kangaroo on October 10, Nebraska's Potter-Dix Public Schools superintendent Mike Williams said in a public letter. https://www.abc.net.au/news/2018-10-19/kangaroo-meat-chilli-us-school-apologises/10395500 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sir Wearer of Hats Posted October 21, 2018 #4 Share Posted October 21, 2018 Roo’s tasty, why would it cause anxiety if it was clearly marked as Roo meat? 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think it was clearly (or even unclearly) marked. From the report it seems the kangaroo was mixed in with beef mince for the chilli.

Habitat Posted October 21, 2018 #8 Share Posted October 21, 2018 Mostly tough as old boots, the "fillet" is pretty good though. Some cuts are that tough, you have to boil it with a stone is the bottom of the saucepan, when the stone goes soft, the meat is ready to eat. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Habitat Posted October 21, 2018 #10 Share Posted October 21, 2018 It is a very low fat product with no chemicals in it, being a wild animal, they are not farmed (they jump fences !). Probably the healthiest meat you can get. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toast Posted October 21, 2018 #11 Share Posted October 21, 2018 I think Kangaroo meat from an animal out of the wild is much more healthier than meat from cattle, hogs and chicken who were fattened with GMO junk their whole life. 4 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Americans tend to think of them as "cute". My guess is that, if prepared well, it would be quite tasty. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get between a buck and a doe in breeding season, worse than getting between a lawyer and a pile of money. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Habitat Posted October 21, 2018 #22 Share Posted October 21, 2018 Skippy is still around in big numbers, aided by the provision of watering points for livestock, they are able to stay in areas where once they would only remain in good seasons, and natural water availability.
