Why do Australians eat Kangaroo meat?

That's kinda stereotypical, not all of us do and most of us will probably never try it.

I have tried it but it was cooked in a sausage in a barbeque. I guess it tasted alright but I didn't really like it and it was a tough sort of meat, there is nothing I can compare it to really.

I ate it for the same reason I eat any other meat - I'm hungry, meat has a lot of protein and I wanted to taste it. I love the taste of meat but I don't think I liked kangaroo. I can't remember too much though because this was a couple years ago, if I get the chance to try it again I will.

I didn't really think of it as 'oh no our national symbol', I thought 'ooh yum a barbeque' then the lady gave me a sausage and THEN someone told me it was kangaroo but I'm like 'never tried this before *takes bite*)' lol

hope I helped

Do Australians Eat Kangaroo

Well, the same question could be asked about us. I bet somewhere in Australia, they're saying "why do Americans eat cow meat?" There is no specific reason for why the Australians eat kangaroo, but if you wanted a specific one you'd have to go back many, many years to when Austrians first settled in Australia. There was an abundance, a plethora of kangaroo, probably the most plentiful animal on the continent. A few people ate some of the kangaroo meat, and others picked it up from them and so on. Cows and pigs and other animals were grown years later.

Also, kangaroo meat tastes like beef.

Because they are over run with them. I don't think anyone should eat Kangaroo meat. Bless them!!

Not a lot of Australians eat Kangaroo meat but it is available in supermarkets as steaks, diced and sausages. It is a really rich tasting meat but there is no fat.

About the same percentage of Australians eat kangaroo meat as Chinese people eat dogs - i.e., maybe 2% or the population, if even that.

First Asians now Australians?

:D

Dem rangakoos are rough lot day errr.

ethnocentrism at its finest, you'd probably eat kangaroo meat too if you were born there

maybe they get a kick out of it, groan
