Eating Skippy - Australians urged to eat kangaroo

I've had kangaroo meat... I'm not much of a meat eater and to me it tastes no different than beef only not as strong tasting... It's a lean meat with low fat content and low in saturated fats.
It's classed as a game meat and because it's meat harvested in the wild you have no idea what sort of parasites or diseases the kangaroo would have had so unless you know it's been cooked thoroughly, I personally wouldn't be eating it.
In Australia here it's mostly used as pet meat to feed to your cats and dogs...

A neighbour some years ago gave me some gamey kangaroo patties , they were purple coloured so I gave them to my dog and she threw them up.

What would you attribute that to? Would it be the type of grass they eat?

Hopper meat is really rich ( gamey) lots of protein but hard to swallow. I prefer red meat not purple. They say Kangaroo tail soup is nice but I have never tried it. Crocodile steaks are good as well.

Typical dog, woolfs it down fast and promptly spews it up... that's one reason I gave up giving my dog any form of mince... found hunks of meat or a meaty dog bone was less likely to come up again... Though burying a bone or meat and then digging it up weeks later to eat can be a bit off putting...
Kangaroo meat can have purplish tinge or a deep reddish brown tinge to it... I see it in Woolies and Coles sometimes in the Pet Food department...

No Ostriches down here but we do have Emu meat the tourists seem to like it. I just stick to Woolies $7.90 chickens. Bet those Ostriches are a bit of work to pluck them.

No idea about buffalo meat, but usually wild game meat has a lower fat and a lower saturated fat content than domesticated meat thus it's lower in cholesterol...

I have had Buffalo meat its real tender and melts in your mouth like Barramundi. They say they are now going to market Buffalo meat world wide now the meat prices for it are better.

I watched a show about a restaurant that serves ostrich egg omelets that looked really good. Whoa what a feed that would do an entire family.
