As an Australian I have to strongly disagree. Kangaroo goes best with a bottle of Penfolds St. Henri Shiraz.

It just so happens that my missus came across this last weekend and we picked up a couple of bottles. I'll have to try it and see what we think!

Just don;t overcook the meat. It needs to be medium rare at most. I prefer mine still hopping.:rotfl:

Oh I agree.

kangaroo simply can't be overdone. Beef and lamb i like deader than dead, but roo, medium rare at the most.

Whats the saturated fat content of Kangaroo meat?

TarJak · 11-20-08, 11:04 PM

Bugger all. ~2% IIRC. It's one of the leanest meats on the planet.

Kangaroo meat has a very high concentration of conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) when compared with other foods. CLA has been attributed with a wide range of health benefits including an anti cancer action and reducing body fats.

"Kangaroo meat is very lean and has less than two per cent fat content. Kangaroo meat also contains very high levels of quality protein, iron and zinc. Due to its leanness, kangaroo meat must be cooked with care to avoid overcooking. "

Although I don't drink now I can still remember this quality drop years ago. I used to buy a case of this upon release every few years. Used to be priced around AUD $40 per bottle. Yep it's not cheap. Is best left in the bottle for a couple of years minimum and cellars well if stored correcly for +8 to 10 years or so. Enjoy.
