It’s not kangaroo, nick. It’s kat.

If you ever get a chance, try nutria. It looks like a big rat, but it tastes like a combination of chicken and pork. It’s delicious!

Always wanted to try alligator — until I was in Costco recently and bought my dog a big bag of “Louisiana Alligator Jerky.” “Wheat free, corn free, no artificial anything,” or so says the bag. She spit it out and walked away from it like it was cat poo. Must be bad; she’ll eat anything. Thanks, sweetie.

I had kangaroo once at a vineyard in Australia

Once of the tastiest & most memorable meals I’ve ever had!

I’ve had bull’s tongue, gator, buffalo, ostrich, snake, rabbit, pheasant, bear, deer, and some unidentified “parts” from a corner wok in Hong Kong, so who knows.

Alligator is not so strange. You can get it at Fishbone’s Rhythm Kitchen in the Detrot (yeah, Detroit) area. Exceptional fare.

“... I had kangaroo once...”

I gotta ask... does it taste like beef?

The idea of barbecuing over a robata grill is nothing really new,

In the sense that humans have been doing so (grilling meat over hot charcoal) for 200,000+ years, yeah, it's not really new.

LOL, who writes crap like that?

I’ve had alligator at several different restaurants. One restaurant’s fare was excellent, the other’s was like trying to chew shoe leather. I guess it just depends on how it is prepared.

I wonder if they take a hint from one of Michael Keaton's characters and feed the kangaroo to the alligator's before they BBQ them?

Yep. It’s very red like beef but sweeter & more tender. Like better than the best filet mignon! Deeeeeeelicious!

I hate to admit it, but yes. Breaded & deep fried, I guess anything looks edible. Include in that list calf brains, and tripe. I’m the one they save the gizzards for on Thanksgiving.
