Kangaroo Steaks

Fried kangaroo


Raw it reminded me of plums

Kangaroo. Not the most common beast in Britain's wildlife but thanks to meat imports (and German store Lidl), a critter we can nonetheless eat with our beloved chips and feshly baked crusty bread. I love trying new foods, especially meat, and I was pretty stoked (thanks young Americans) at the prospect of getting my fangs into succulent kangaroo chops.
So how was fried Skippy? Well a few people online had said how kangaroo steaks tastes like a cross between venison and lamb (two of my favourite meats) but dancing on my carnivorous tastebuds they were like neither of those. Here's the skinny (or Skippy): KANGAROO TASTES LIKE BEEF STEAK. Seriously, if you enjoy steak from a cow then you'll like steak from a Roo too. In fact put the two on a plate and most would struggle to tell the difference. And like beef steak its a breeze to cook, simply fry on both sides for 4 - 6 minutes and serve. Or throw a few on the barbie as the Aussies would say.
Shame I cooked this for lunch because my guess is they would be delicious with a drop of wine or chilled cider. **Scribbles note for future** As you can see I cooked homecooked chips with it but a jacket potato, or even a salad would suit it well too because although its very much like beef, kangaroo meat isn't as strong in flavour. Even when you slightly overcook it like I did this time. (But it was only a few minutes and was still great).
Oh and meat eaters please dont be getting on any high horses because I had kangaroo for dinner! Any fan of KFC or the Golden Arches has just as much blood on their hands as us roo (or any other critter) flesh munchers. Just do one, you hypocritical sad sacks. Thank you.

Perfect Picnic Snacks from Greece



I HAVE FOUND THE PERFECT PICNIC FOOD!
Large button mushrooms stuffed with beautiful feta cheese, soaked in olive oil (albeit the oil is a little on the heavy side). My God these a re SOOOO good! Yeah yeah they might look slimy and mushy buttry one and im fairly certain you will agree they are delicious.
And below we have olives, stuffed hot red 'olives' and sun dried tomatoes. IBeing a lover of spicy foods I particularly fell in love with those red 'olives'. (I say olives but im not 100% sure they are real olives). I bought these from a genuine Greek market stall that was in Carmarthen a week ago and yes they were on the pricer side but ultimately you get what you pay for and I wasn't disappointed.
