KANGAROO BURGERS



Kangaroo Burgers image

Yes as a beer advertisement says we do eat our national emblem in Australia. Cook over a BBQ with beer in hand while the kids are inside watching repeats of 'Skippy The Bush Kangaroo' on TV. I think it would also work with other low-fat game meats that don't have a really strong flavour.

KANGAROO BURGERS (AUSTRALIA)



Kangaroo Burgers (Australia) image

This recipe is from week 16 of my food blog, Travel by Stove. I am attempting to cook one meal from every nation on Earth, and Australia is my 16th stop. Much of the food served in Australia is indistinguishable from American or European food, except for this one: kangaroo. You probably won't find this meat at your local Safeway, but many specialty grocers can order it.
