The Australians have come up with the idea that eating kangaroo meat will help to reduce global warming emissions. I reckon it is a story made up by the Kangaroo Breeders Association wanting to increase sales. BBC NEWS | UK | Eat kangaroo to 'save the planet'

Kangaroo is lovely

Some of the nicest meat I've tried - much better than chicken or beef!

You've really tried kangaroo whats it like then?

Yep when I was in Australia. Admittedly before I ordered it I thought it was going to be disgusting but that is perception for you.

It's live Venison but a different flavour. Rich chicken. I can't remember exactly, but I do remember it was easily the best steak I had had for a very long time!

They used to sell kangaroo and ostrich meat in Sainsburys years ago. I loved it but it was a bit expensive. I vaguely remember crocodile meat there too.

The Blacksmith's Table in Washington has Kangaroo and Crocodile on the menu. Never tried either, unlikely to either since I don't eat meat.

I remember that too Sooty and yes they did sell crocodile. I never tried any of it but people I knew did and gave it all the thumbs up.

Personally I see no harm in it and if it showed up in my local supermarket at a reasonable price would certainly give it a try.
