I Ate A Kangaroo

I couldn't let myself leave Australia without trying Kangaroo. Yes, Australians eat Kangaroo. And so I needed to too. I had been told that kangaroo was tough and chewy, especially if overcooked. Plenty of people here order a rump of roo (like a big piece of steak), but this did not interest me in the least. I decided that the best means to ingest this iconic aussie animal would be on pizza, with other "things" that could potentially mask its taste if unpleasant. So last night at the Australian Heritage Hotel I ordered their famous kangaroo pizza, accompanied by cheese, roasted capsicum (aka peppers) and berries. The pizza was tasty. I ate every inch of it. This means that kangaroo was not only edible, but actually quite to my liking. It was tough and chewy, as I had been told, reminding me of a piece of well done steak. I don't foresee myself craving roo again, but I am happy that I can say I tried and enjoyed kangaroo.
