Kangaroo= sweet beef i dont know how to feel about that.... lmao
I don't know where they got "sweet beef" from. It tastes like steak to me, but far far far far stronger, to the point that it's not that nice.
I'd say it tastes sweeter than beef yeah?
it tastes like meat from an old deer.
It’s a sweet meat treat.
@@Crashandburn999You can't cook.
I have severe iron deficiency and have started eating Kangaroo because it has double the amount of iron compared to beef. I already feel better and less tired.
Ever heard of iron supplements
Those iron supplements are a marketing gimmick! Eating kangeroo meat is 10 times better then any stupid iron supplement
Kangaroo - Is a tricky meat to cook but is one of the leanest meats you can get at your grocery store or butcher if not cooked right can be tough or chewy and has a gamey flavour compared to beef some would say similar to venison.
I’m learning every day! 🤔
@NOU TFF I don't think you're missing out on much. Kangaroo is not that nice. Crocodile and eel are soooooo much better tasting. Crocodile tastes like a stronger and much nicer chicken, while eel tastes like a very oily fatty fish, it tastes so god damn amazing, one of my fav meats ever. You have to try eel. Seriously.
@@Crashandburn999 I have tasted croc and I agree
@@Crashandburn999 my partner and I absolutely love kangaroo. It's my favourite meat. It is quite literally a matter of taste
Also kangaroos are better for grazing because they don’t trample the ground like cows do.
Greta Xanthe but in some areas they’re so overpopulated they do
My Dad went to Australia last week and came back yesterday and he brought me some kangaroo jerky and it was actually good and that was my first time eating kangaroo
FOR THE CONFUSED PEOPLE IN THE COMMENT SECTION!
The Kangaroo population surpasses the australian population by every 4 kangaroo = one person, so its basically like beef for them, also its highly nutritious, the native australians used the kangaroos as the main meal for their everyday norm.
For them?? you FUCKING IDIOT! I am born Australian; and here is the truth of it you fucktard: people generally dont eat Kangaroo. I was born 1981, and it wasn't in supermarket as a kid growing up- anywhere. It was beef, pork, lamb, chicken and fish as your main proteins as well as eggs. But I'd say i started to notice it more in gourmet butchers from the late 1990s- but now 2022- you can go into a Woolworths or Coles, or an IGA- the three largest supermarket chains and find kangaroo meat. But it doesn't sell well- people still proedominantly eat beef, lamb, chicken, fish. Not kangaroo. A lot of that is becasue they are cute and furry, and a lot becasue its just not the social norm yet, and also the taste is different. A kangaroo fillet cooks differently to a beef or lamb fillet too- you dont need to cook it for as long.I have tried Kangaroo 3 times in my life. I am 40 years old. And I would say this is probably normal.. Kangaroo meat in the supermarkets isn't that cheap either- usually 15-25/ kg- where i can get chicken breasts on sale for 8-10/ kg, I can get pork shoulder at 6-8 kg/ kg, and I can get beef mince at 10/kg. So I'd say because these other protein sources are also cheaper than Kangaroo is also a major barrier to australians consuming it more. Honestly, when speaking to backpackers here visiting, a much much higher proportion of backpackers would eat kangaroo for the novelty of it, compared to most australians. There is nothing wrong with the meat, it is more healthy than most meats, super lean, a little more gamey in taste.
What? Aussies tell me nobody really eats kangaroo. Mostly tourists do
@DP-eo5xd aussie here Australians shy away from kangaroo however it's tastier cheaper leaner and healthier than beef people need to eat more of it
@@DP-eo5xdreally i feel like it pretty common
Australians: *Eats Kangaroos*
Austin the Kangaroo: Aright Imma Head Out
Kangaroo is sweeter and chewier beef, crocodile literally just tastes like chicken with the texture of pork.
As an Australian, I’m surprised how many people actually said yes. It would be the least uncommon meat eaten here.
Ok least uncommon is a double negative
@@brianthomason5022 it's not
@@6pathuser344 its started being common at coles
It’s in every supermarket
@@ftxaviation still doesn't mean everyone is eating it. Beef, lamb and chicken is what the majority of Australians eat regularly.
beef=farmed
kangaroo=wild caught.
kangaroo much healthier.
"keep tasting great" , "you're doing amazing" always get me 😂
I lost 15 kilos eating Kangaroo sausages and mince.
We know that Australians keep crocodiles and kangaroo as pets
and they eat them.
That is quite dumb of them actually haha
Those are kept for pets though. Like how some people keep chickens for pet.
@@LiveLaughLovecraft idk
First thing is a stereotype second is true.
Kangaroos are pests they are culled ans sold as meat no one keeps them as pets
@@LiveLaughLovecraft it's illegal to own Australian wild life with out a valid license which are hard obtain lol
Australian Population : 27 Milion People
Kanggaroo Population : 55 MILION KANGGAROOS 😂😂🤣
Or 100 million kanga bangas
That’s a good ratio
So just eat em. Lol.
I am a pure vegetarian...and i am watching this video...
wow im still looking for who cares
@@meaghangraham8610 Lol...then i am here...
Same
Imagine being a vegetarian .. I will never stop eating beef kill all those mfs !
even being vegetarian is not good for you.
I was searching for what food contains protein then Google poped out emu and kangaroo which shocked me coz as a chinese it is actually the very first time I know that people in Australia actually eat kangaroo and emu😆
Kangaroos are actually a pest and killed as a form of population control
@@xXSinForLifeXx 😱
Really??
@@akshay9053 yeah😆
Can someone explain to me why eating a national symbolic fauna is not frowned upon?
25 million ppl live in Australia while 50 million kangaroos live in Australia . I’ll take a vacation to Australia just to kill those mfs for fun 😂 and in the us the bald eagle low in number so we gotta keep them alive
It’s honestly not that common, I’ve never eaten it. I’ve heard unless you know how to cook it correctly is wouldn’t be enjoyable, so not many people actually buy it to cook at home. I think it’s always discussed as others find it so strange. Some Australians will tell you they have tried it, forgetting to mention it was once in there whole life 🤦♀️
It’s nutritious, delicious, and it can even benefit the ecosystem
Skippy was eaten long before some politician stuck it on a letter head as an emblem
Because there are way WAY more kangaroos than australians, there are around 60 million kangaroos meanwhile there are only around 25 million australians, so its like their beef but way healthier.
So most australians are metalhead. Behemoth, dimmu borgir.
Ayyyyeee only just saw this, nice vid. We loved it
Woo, thanks! :)
I eat Kangaroo & Ostrich on a regular basis and I'm from the UK very lean and healthy meat
Where do you get it from?
@@safinsalt2265 Oslinc in Lincolnshire
I call cap mate lmfao
That dude called a grill a “Barbie” 😂
Chuck a kanga on the barbie, mate!
Barbie is actually short for barbeque ;)
And as you know we shorten all our words bc we are lazy
@@kelliecanscan3364 smart
Because that what we call a barbecue/grill.
😂
Barbecue...
So Australians should just shutup about animal rights in other countries.
Actually Kangaroos are all wild sourced and killed as part of population control.
It's pretty much the most ethical way you could obtain animal meat. So nah we will continue to criticise what we want :)
i eat sweden national animal about 100days a year,,its elk,,,i love too eat to try kangoroo
I eat kangaroo a lot here in Aus.. I'd love to try elk
And here I am in Alice Springs where they sell the entire Kangaroo tail, fur and all, in the freezer section of Coles...
They looks friendly and very funny, I can not even imagine what it would tasted like.. 😢
Buddy the aborigines in Australia hunt them for food.
@@DarkenVampirDragon-x3u do you eat it too?
@@panurotomangkuwanito4728 yep, I even feed my cat, kangaroo meat.
I wonder how it would be on the bbq
roo meat is better then beef.
it's like the go-to
Roo meat is way healthier than beef, chicken or pork. Kangaroo eat grass therefore no fats, also no antibiotics or any injections. You shoot a roo and you cut the meat and cook.
When I'm outside Australia I always recommend kangaroo. On my travels around Europe I couldn't find anything that beat it. It's a perfect gamy meat full of juices and flavour.
On skewers is the best, followed by a steak then the classic kanga bangas (sausages).
Lets stop eating wild animals. If this pandemic has taught us anything is to respect animals in the wild.
Some animals are worse at carrying disease than others, wild or not
just like capybaras lol
Kangaroo is delicious and extremely good for you
Ew disgusting 😭😭😭
@@rosedawson5827 It's no more disgusting than any other animal
It’s our way of venison, no difference from eating deer.
yes we do! it's great in a stir fry! also make great burgers after some good weed!
Yes they do
I didn't know Australians ate kangaroos. When I was young, I thought kangaroos were pets kept at home by Australians.
There is no image of Australia without kangaroos, so the idea of eating kangaroos is a bit shocking. However, I respect their culture.
The native aboriginal people here in Australia hunted kangaroos long before it was colonised.
They don't eat them all its just a major food source like deer here
When I finally go to Australia, I'll eat kangaroo every day 😋
How can we as Aussies say we eat this beautiful animal so casually!!! It's basically our mascot!!!
Kelliecans Can because they’re a pest
Jacky Phantom that’s because horses and kangaroos are not seen at the same level as dogs. Besides eating dog and horse meat isn’t a big deal because they’re both pests any ways. They’ve over populated so much they destroy land, even both of their native lands.
@Jacky Phantom that's definitely hypocritical.
Because they’re delicious and overpopulated.
no Wild game is not good for you.
That's a "crikey!" from me, dawg.
Honestly I always thought that Kangaroo was like the national animal of Australia, like a symbol representative of this country or smth like that, I never thought they would eat it! It's sad and sort of disappointing in a way.
Australian here, kangaroos are our national animal but they’re actually also a major pest that can disrupt the livelihoods of regional farmers. They’re very prolific breeders that are at no risk of being hunted or killed to extinction, in fact they’re significantly more ecological to eat and healthier for you than beef. Our indigenous first peoples here have enjoyed the meat as a highly sustainable protein source for thousands of years just like how Americans eat turkey so when you have so much of something that is greener, healthier and just better you’d be stupid not to eat it.
They outpopulated human race in aus
@@flrs5858 Oh I see, thank you for the reply, it was really interesting to read! ;)
@@flrs5858 do they keep it on the farms too?
@@panurotomangkuwanito4728 We do not farm kangeroos here, it'll be incredibly difficult to do so as they are not domesticated animals. All the kangeroo meat we eat originates from hunting. There are strict and well regulated limits, rules and quotas authorised hunters follow to ensure ethical and sustainable sourcing of meat.
OK, Sous Vide Kangaroo followed by a baste in 50/50 mix of oyster and hoison sauce, grill for a quick coloring then serve. Nothing tastes better.
I wanna try Kangaroo in England but it's kinda weird u assies eating ur national animal lamo
They're overpopulated here. Kind of like how deer is to America
And they kill dogs by drowning them
There are enough of the barstards. But at least the animals on our emblem / coat of arms are native to the country (a lion for England lol. Still better than Scotland's unicorn or dragon for Wales haha)
Its only a national animal because its so frequent, just like how deer is overpopulated in the US.
It's a pest and their population needs to be culled to stop them from destroying farms.
We don't kill then so we can eat them we eat them because we kill them.
"an animal is an animal, it doesn't matter" very sad ..
Only eat animals that are clean and avoid pork
Sad but true, it's called the food chain ..
I'm Canadian and I've eaten roo.
Australian should export kangaru meat to india too
We also wanna try
Kangaroo corned...amazing..
I'm American and I have....and it's goddamn amazing! I can't eat it regularly because....its hard to get, but it's great and I have everytime I get the chance.
Is it hard to get because they outsmart you with their boxing IQ?
@@oliverhart7013 phhhht... ha ha. I'm white.... so (due to the privilege) I outsource the outsmarting. It's the American way 🤷♂️ I get it at a fine dining.... well, it's a bar will billards (and not even Snooker, so...only the best for me....).
incidently: It's 11:13pm on the 4th of July. Fireworks are illegal in my county....so, its been just gunshots all evening. A few fireworks.... but mostly 12ga blasts. Almost makes me proud to be an American.
.....I mean: It's not a school or mall! This is, relatively speaking.... pretty close to emulating what decent 'human' (?) behavior would look like! So, not proud at all... but... almost! Also happens to be the first time in YEARS that things aren't on fire during the 4th!
Everything after 'Incidently'.... not jokes. all reality. It's sadly American, the fact that it's nice to hear guns instead of fireworks!
Sorry..... You talked about Kangaroo meat, which got me thinking about the gunfire, which got me horny because I'm an American talking about guns (and guns are sexy AF, in my superior, not humble opinion about guns)..... and being horny about guns makes me hungry....
......so, no I want to eat Kangaroo steak again. nice. 😑 That's on you.
@@evilpandakillabzonattkoccu4879 I stopped reading after "I'm white so I can afford the finer things in life"
@@oliverhart7013 than you missed that it was a joke? ....all because you're too lazy to read? wow...pathetic.
@@evilpandakillabzonattkoccu4879nobody cares
Guys these Aussies eat way more then what we think 😂
I had a kangaroo hot dog before - it tasted like plain chili.
Kanga over beef anyday 👌
Yes, in a flash restraint in Melbourne.
crocodile? whoah!
In America we eat Alligators
I've been hunting kangaroo since age 10 on farms, Deer, turkey, chicken and cow and pig meat are all superior in taste to kangaroo BUT kangaroo is a pest in Australia so it is hunted alot.
Kangaroo is like deer its waaay better than beef
Crocodile pizza... Wow...
They eat kangaroos for real.
Yes, plus the native aborigines hunted kangaroos.
1:14 vegans watch out
Let me point something out to you people out there saying it’s shameful to eat the national animal, the kangaroo.
1. The native aboriginal people hunted kangaroos long before Australia was discovered and colonised. Even today the indigenous people of Australia still hunts them down for their meat.
2. Kangaroos are overpopulating which is causing issues such as deforestation.
3. Kangaroos are considered a pest to the farming industry, especially growing fruits and vegetables.
So before criticising, do your research on Australian history and about our native wildlife.
Dustin would be thrilled to watch this
Who is Dustin? 🤷♂️
As a seasoned kangaroo hunter I must also caution any non Aussies who wish to hunt and eat it, kangaroos are notorious for having a brain eating worm Inside them and the best way to check for this worm is to spread the legs and inspect the private parts, you may or may not see a white worm in that area, iether way it is up to the chef to slow cook the meat very well and not allow any part of the meat to be rare (bloody) otherwise his patrons could shit themselves for days or end up in hospital. Funny enough the best part of the roo is the tail 👍👍👍
crocodile pizza... wtf. She lying
Its true, I searched it and then boom, a recipe.
I just ate kangaroo for dinner
How are kangaroos 🦘 classified as pest when they were there before these ppl
National animal 😂😂😂
I’m watching this in preparation for my dinner.
2:56 - Yeah you're delicious 🤣
They said Chinese eat anything.. But here Australian eating Kangaroo, Crocodile.. Damn son please send the Kangaroo here we'll treat them better >_> I hope this morons they dont eat Koala thou
I wish there was enough koalas to eat. Food is food.
Ok, I have to be honest... I'm shocked and a bit disappointed..
They are a pest in our country and destroy farms, you need to kill some to keep the population down.
Sorry farms can't be destroyed just because some foreigners find them cute. We don't kill kill for their meat its just a by-product of reducing population.
Why? It's good for the environment
The native Australian aborigines hunted kangaroos for their meat, it is normal for them to eat kangaroos as it is normal for non-native Australian people to eat kangaroos.
I love kangaroo steak. Best meat ever.
And healthy!
Route 66? Haha guess the dystopian ones figured out international travel.
croc, roo, not kosher, the emu though, now we're talking
I'm a vegetarian, but if you go out and kill a Kangaroo and eat it should be fair
Wow. Australians eat their national symbol. I would have thought most people would have been repulsed by it
The first nation people aboriginal hunted kangaroos for their meat.
When will humans start eating human meat??I am just waiting for that.
Human is supposed to taste like a bitter pork so no thank you
What is the problem with you north indians.
@Hartono ugh stfu
hell yeah bro!
Cannibals have existed for a long time.
"I am" is irish ancestry, "yes" is non-irish. the more you know!
I was wondering if they where edible , now i know there delicious .but nothing will beat deer steaks and fried oignons numa num .lol
Kiwi , eat kangaroo often
Koala bear.
Yah I eat some time 😊
Why
Ooh
Crocodile on pizza...WHAAAAt
Why other animals such as koalas, wombats and dingos are not eaten by Australians?
All 3 are those are not pests and don't destroy farms. Kangaroos are only killed to reduce population.
Kangaroos are pretty destructive for farmers, and are considered a pest since there is so many of them.
Demons in the form of humans
Wtf?
@@TsunamicBug I was born in a vegetarian family. Now I am a vegan. I never tasted a dead creature's inner organs.
@@Utkarsh.... TH-cam deleted my comment for some reason.
Just because you are vegetarian/vegan doesn't give you a right to impose judgement on others, everyone is different. The majority of the world eats meat.
@@TsunamicBug Will you judge a person if he's a cannibal? I hope not, because that will make you a hypocrite.
I am not vegan because I feel superior to non-vegetarians. I am vegan because it's the need of the hour. That's what we are supposed to be. I am a normal(by default) person by being a vegan, but you're a horrible and ignorant person for not taking responsibility of your actions.
Mate, the aborigines of Australia hunted kangaroos for their meat. That how they survived before Australia was colonised.
0:21 John Lennon is alive...
And he likes BEHEMOTH
I wanna try kangaroo, but I feel like the kangaroo can be my friend. I don’t want to eat a friend..
🤦🏻♀️
Why asking if they feel guilty about eating Kangaroo? Why these people never ask if others feel guilty while eating COW, CHICKEN OR PORK?
That 10 years later segment made me hit subscribe
Poor kangaroos...also haven't been slain by humans' brutality..!
The Australian native aborigines hunted kangaroos. Do your research before judging.
@@DarkenVampirDragon-x3u
Of course I know, they were eating, but these were wild human animals, they did not have the methods and ways to develop a diverse diet, like us now, there are so many options in food… I have been a vegan for 13 years, I see more food options than killing an animal and eating its decomposing body… taking its life, which has the right, just like you and me, to live on this earth
@@shellanissan351 funny how you say lives, aren’t the plants you eating living creatures. Not too mention you eat the microorganisms upon fruits and vegetables. It doesn’t matter whether you’re vegan or not, humans will always cause destruction when establishing hospitality and consumption. Not matter how you look at life whether you eat animals or not you still play in that factor of pollution and deforestation.
When growing fruits and vegetables, you still need to kill off animals such as insects and rodents from devouring the plants. Another fact is plants also survive on meat and animal leftovers. So being vegan isn’t going to prevent animal extract from being in your body.
It is definitely the second best meat on the planet
It tastes like deer
Yes i have my Native food I mean meat or beef by the way I'm an Aborigine
That’s so sad!! 😢
You obviously don’t know that the native aboriginal people hunted kangaroos even long before Australia was colonised.
No it’s inhumane
How? When the native aboriginal people hunted kangaroos.
@@DarkenVampirDragon-x3u I don't know what I was thinking man I wrote this two years ago 😂
Kangaroo meat will be delicious.
Do Australian eat dogs 🐕
Nah never heard of that
Now i come to know that Australians are inspired by Chinese in many aspects 😂😂
They prefer eating Kangaroos meat. On the other hand they consider it as the representative of their Country 😂
Basically it is as same as the case with China where people love to have dogs and cats as pets yet eat them on a specific festival 🥴
As a vegetarian this disturbs me🙂
Is it offensive to name a Kangaroo "Barbie"?
Poor animals😢
Animals eat others to survive, it’s called nature.
Australia national animal kangaroo
And they eat
Australian have any mind
Lol why are you even commenting this stupid comment. Do you know how over populated they are. Even government kills them in large number. It's like someone commenting there is no toilets in India and they poop in railway tracks, roads.
Kangaroos aren’t special. They’re still just an animal.
Australian Population : 27 Milion People
Kanggaroo Population : 55 Milion Kanggaroos Really
Please google it before you say anything stupid like this, kangaroos overpopulate the Australians by 55 million to 27 million, also they are pests and they deforest, Australians ate kangaroos way before it became their national animal, kangaroos just became the national animal because they are extremely frequent to see, just like how deer is overpopulated in the USA.
Are you ok can you speak English?
Kangaroo are a pest lol at foreigners being so mad because we kill snd eat pests.
Sorry that you guys have no false narrative of how our country works that's kinda your fault.
I've had it at a burger place in Davis California that has one unusual/exotic meat menu item on the menu at any given time.
Shame
They were hunted by the native Australians, do your research before commenting and criticising.
