Hey guys, Australian roo shooter here...I really enjoyed this episode! Glad you enjoyed eating it! Your prep work is amazing! A trick we use to make sausages and burger patties really juicy, is to grind up some cattle fat or sheep fat then mix it all together ...You end up with very tender juicy meat. We also use the same method with wild goat, camel and emu meat. It makes the world of difference. Bursting with flavour. However the majority of Australians cringe at the idea of eating our National emblem ( Kangaroo & Emu ), Those of us who do however, have our own little recipe secrets. Thanks again, Take care fella's. Bill - Western Australia.

I farm 3000 acres in southeastern Australia (Victoria), and we have an elevated population of Eastern Grey Kangaroos due to the crops and pasture that we grow for our sheep and cattle. It is not uncommon to see several hundred of them driving around our paddocks at night. We shoot them to manage the numbers, and although they are a pest to us, I don’t like waste. I have eaten them occasionally but I would much sooner eat venison; which we also have. We try and use the meat from the roos that we cull for dog food, we have five working Border Collies we use for mustering sheep and they can eat 10 to 20kg of roo meat each week. Although I have probably culled 20-30,000 roos over the last 35 years, the population in our area is probably somewhere between double and triple what would have existed before white fellas settled the country.

You won't see many Aussies complaining about you making them into Burgers, that's very popular over here! Other popular forms of Roo are as steaks and as Sausages (often called Kanga Bangers). I haven't seem them sold as roasting portions but I imagine that also exists. Small clarification on the number of species though. While your numbers are correct, usually we only call the Four largest species (Red Kangaroo, Eastern and Western Grey Kangaroos, and Antilopine Kangaroo) Kangaroos, then the next few medium/large species we call Wallaroo's, and the smaller species (of which there are lots and they're much rarer than the large species) we call Wallabies. If Kangaroos are our Cow equivalent then Wallabies are our Sheep/Goat equivalent in terms of their environmental roles. There's also Tree Kangaroos which are their own weird group found in tropical rainforests which fulfil a similar niche to what Monkeys do in the rest of the world.

We're one of a very select few countries that eat our coat of arms. Often have to explain it foreigners that isn't a bad thing. Because of how much we care about them, their numbers are so huge that we have to cull them - otherwise we risk them becoming almost invasive. We even lost a war to Emu's, which is almost as sad as losing a war to Afghanistan (we helped in losing that war too). You only have to look at the side of any road in the country to realise how healthy the Roo population is; sometimes you can even just flick on a bit of Mount Panarama and get the vibe too.

Here in Aus we often blend a bit of fatty lamb in with the Roo grinding which makes for a juicier burger and eliminates the tendancy of dryness of the straight lean Roo meat .

I massively improved my skills from your videos and the cuts of meat I was able to extract from the animal also improved. Just weird that this video has come out, it feels full circle!

Great video! Yep here in Australia we have many kangaroos. In the 1850's when the grazing industry began, they first did sink wells in the desert to bring up groundwater. This meant kangaroo numbers could go exponential. Simply put, they breed like rabbits and are big enough to break fences and eat a lot of grass. The government each year allows around 250 000 to be culled legally. If farmed they are much better for the environment than cattle because they have soft paws and don't wreck native grasses. The problem is building a fence that will hold them in. Wonderful channel you guys have here. Thank you! 👍❤💯

I have tried some eastern grey roo steaks, one was absolutely amazing and the other was like trying to eat leather, They can be a tricky meat to cook but when you get a nice piece its amazing

I was working in the Fast Food industry when "Kangaroo" meat was accidentally delivered in place of "beef". I was working in one of the Restaurants that it was delivered to in pre-formed patties. We were absolutely confused why it was coming up undercooked. We pulled 23 Cases from the delivery (the 24th was already opened and being used). The manager was on the phone all day with Corporate and the Supplier, while we kept trying to figure out what was going on, to the point, we Shut Down operations for the day until we could figure out what was going on.

Jack in the Box which was owned by Ralston Purina at the time was shipped Kangaroo burger. It was funny for a while to pull up to the drive thru and order a 'roo burger with fries and a coke. I don't think much of the meat got out to the public before it was pulled and I think McDonalds got a load of horse meat once but haven't heard of a fast food place getting strange burger meat for a long time. They are just like a big rabbit as far as I can figure.

@@jmoney20psu2 Us crew usually made some first thing in the morning for breakfast, not so much as a quality check, but because between putting away the deliveries, getting the front of the house ready, and doing the morning prep on an absolute skeleton crew...but all of us bit into what should have been fully cooked and were all really confused. NO, we were not McDonalds, but we used the same "Distributor/Supplier" for our product as the Golden Arches.

Nobody drinks Fosters here, its a US company that marketed it as Australian. Its tastes like trash. BUT we do eat roo 👍 Roos are cute, but you cant “value” an animals life based on cute levels, that’s extremely hypocritical. We shoot our roots wild. They never knew captivity, great life and a quick death. Best way to harvest any animal.

As an Aussie great video, So delicious and I would say one of the leanest meats, emu and crocodile are good to, lean meat if you want to lose weight eat it, yep seasoning and cheese pickles or even onion relish is awesome and we love burgers down under and they too makes good sausages needs to also be seasoned

Good to see guys. A great resource that many dont indulge in. For burgers/stews etc the grey (macrocarpus fuliginosis) is great. For better texture steaks and flavour, try Marloo (red kangaroo/ osphranter rouge) For my choice pick, it has to be a young Biggada. (macrocarpus robustus) Common Wallaroo. Yellow body fat, less gamey than red or grey fat and a realy fine textured meat.
