In the story, Australian scientist Dr George Wilson says of kangaroo meat:
It tastes excellent, not unlike venison - only a different flavour.
If kangaroo meat has "a different flavour" to venison, how is it "not unlike" venison? Are we talking about texture here? Colour? Juiciness? Or is the similarity simply that Dr Wilson thinks they are both "excellent"? I demand to know!
On a similar note, perhaps Australian scientists could genetically cross a kangaroo with a cow to create a low-methane bovine. Of course, it would then be a kangamoo...

Painful last gag!
Anyone know where I can buy kangaroo meat/burgers? Wouldn't mind giving it a go
At least it doesn't taste like chicken!
Maybe it tastes more like venison than it does like chicken? More similar to venison than to beef?
Probably it has a certain "gaminess" or "wildness" to its flavor that is common in venison, pheasant, buffalo, etc.
kangaroo : beef :: venison : beef :: pheasant : chicken ??
Oh, and I found this, for U.S.A. folks

as of today, kangaroo loin steaks were on the front page
I don't know that it helps, but I had venison for the first time last week, and commented that it tasted a bit like kangaroo, only much heavier.
I couldn't imagine eating a kangaroo. They're so damn *cute*. I'm OK with eating meat from chickens, cows, and pigs, but show me anything cute, fuzzy, with a kind of smiley-looking muzzle, and that carries its little baby in its furry pouch, and I turn into a big ol' softie. God, I'm such a *girl* sometimes.
Neil, I think that Walkabout bars have kangaroo on their menu. Kangaroo burgers, probably.
Personally, I think kangaroos look vicious – and certainly not as cute as a little piggy.
I'm not sure I'd class anything that comes from The Walkabout bar kitchen as "food"!!
Maybe somewhere like Borough Market might have some.....
