How to cook kangaroo!
While I know kangaroo meat is easily found in Australian butcher shops today, I'm not sure the average cook will be too keen to reproduce this recipe from the 1870s. The name of the dish alone is enough to put me off! But... for your culinary adventures, I am pleased to present you with Slippery Bob!
Slippery Bob
Take kangaroo brains, and mix with flour and water. Make into batter. Season well with pepper, salt and then pour a table-spoonful at a time into an iron pot containing emu fat, and take them out when done. 'Bush Fare' - requiring a good appetite and excellent digestion.
I'll say......

Eeewwwwww!! Grosss!! Fried kangaroo brains. Did you really have to share that???
On the other hand, I have eaten kangaroo burgers before and they were quite tasty. ;)
Can't say I'd be able to stomach that one! Wow! Reminds me of something I'd see on an episode of Andrew Zimmern's Bizarre Foods.
Enjoy your week, Dotti! Hugs and God bless!
That is too funny! I love the part...
requiring a good appetite and excellent digestion.
This has been a most interesting post. Lots of fun!
Amanda, did you notice the brains were cooked in 'emu' oil??!! Some history I'm happy to forget :)
Hi Maria, bizarre indeed! Although Amanda is right, Kangaroo Burgers would be delicious if cooked right and embellished with all the our favourite condiments. Not sure this dish fits with our current day 'Aussie bush tucker!' Thankfully :)
Blessings to you dear friend xx
Hi Ellen Marie,
Glad to make you smile with some of our Aussie bush ways. I for one, am equally amused and repulsed :)
hehehe... glad I don't eat meat! Skippy... skippy... skippy the bush kangaroo.......
With this recipe... I don't blame you Michelle! That type of meat eating would convince any carnivore to become vegetarian!! :)
Although I know a few meat eaters, I'm sure even they would decline a taste of Slippery Bob.
I've never tried kangaroo meat, although I've heard it's a healthy, lean option.
Paula, I think you would like Kangaroo! I've had Kanga Bangas... yummy sausages from the supermarket. I'm with you though. WIth a name like Slippery Bob, I can't imagine many takers! :)
I'm thinking that I will probably pass on this recipe...:) But thanks for thinking of us!
Hope you are your gang are doing well. Stay warm!
Hugs and blessings,
Karen
Hi Karen,
That's a pass for me too, on the Slippery Bob. We're enjoying warmer days now... I'm guessing you're doing the opposite!
Blessings to you dear one :)
HAHAHAHAHA !
I'll also pass on that recipe but I do have a kangaroo skin my Hubs brought back from your beautiful and diverse country on top of my hope chest in the family room. It also has our flat screen TV sitting on top of it. I rarely go into my hope chest now because all of my tender, precious hopes and dreams have come true !!!
