Roo!

Kangaroo, or Roo as it is affectionately called here, has grown in the Australian diet. The government encourages Australians to eat it, it is a lean meat, has a low CO2 output (they digest food differently?), and uses less water.

I cooked up my first Kangaroo steak the other day, it’s actually really good. At around ~$17AUD/kg it’s a reasonably priced meat. I prepared in my wok on a reasonably high heat for several minutes, with pepper and onion worked into the steak.

Also, my sunglasses broke in New Zealand, the screw fell off of one side — bummer.
