Et vous???????????????
I have to say, Ballarat must be a bit 'behind the times' because in my life I've never seen Kangaroo in any of our supermarkets (though some of our fancier restaurants probably serve it).
I'd also have to say I've rarely, if ever seen duck or venison either on the shelves (I tried my first 'bratwurst venison' sausages recently at a festival, and I have to say they were rather good!)... maybe I was influenced by episodes of Bambi
and just the fact it's not one of our usual dinner meats and we're not accustomed to eating it like rabbit and the usual 'everyday' meats.
Even if Kangaroo was easily accessible in supermarkets up here, I think I'm still too influenced by episodes of Skippy in my childhood to ever consider eating it (and some say it would be like eating a part of the coat of arms like on coins, etc)
I've read many 'pioneering days of Australia' historical accounts, and many of the early settlers & explorers were 'forced' to eat Kangaroo (forced being the operative word) and very few of them have anything good to say about it, preferring to shoot down parrots and such.
I guess in those days, they didn't have the equipment to tenderise 'roo, and no special sauces to enhance it.
