I ate a kangaroo

My life project to taste dolphin meat remains unfulfilled, but I did eat kangaroo stew this week. And yes, it was tasty.

The school’s mensa (meaning cafeteria–from the Latin word for table) serves very high quality food at government subsidized prices. I have a big lunch every weekday for about three euros. I think there are real chefs on staff because we have really creative theme-based menus. Yesterday was Australia day, and they were serving Känguru, which I correctly guessed to be the German word for Kangaroo.

It was sort of beefy. I’m told it’s like deer, but I’ve only had deer once. In any case, it’s much better than pork.

I recommended it.

Here are some kangaroo recipes from the KIAA (Kangaroo Industry Association of Australia)

Here is a animal rights website that says eating Kangaroo meat is unhealthy and cruel.

Conclusion: kangaroos are safe to eat, tasty, and cute–what a tragedy.
