Kangaroo Sausage Pasta
Not much to put here, I forgot to take a photo. It was just chopped kangaroo sausages, with pasta and a jar of sauce though. Since I didn't do much today, take a look here Huhcorp - They do stuff.

When I saw your MPM post, my first thought was that "kangaroo sausage pasta" must be a euphemism, like "pigs in a blanket" or "toad in the hole".
Then I realized you live in Australia, and it probably is actually kangaroo sausage. =0 Is eating kangaroo fairly common down under?
It's more common than it used to be, now most suburbian Coles and Woolworths will stock kangaroo, in mince, sausage and steak form. I used to eat it a lot, before I met DP, because it is very 98% fat free, high in iron and protein, and was cheaper than buying any other meat (including pet mince!). But DP doesn't really like the taste or smell of it, so I only grab the sausages when they are discounted, and save them for a night he will late home from work.
I think it has changed now, but a lot of the kangaroo meat for eating actually used to come from Texas! There used to be a law against farming a national emblem for food, so all kangaroo meat was imported (or else you got it straight from a land owner, under the table) but I'm pretty sure that's changed now.
Only 2% fat -- that is amazingly lean. When I was hard core into losing weight, I bought a bunch of mail order ostrich meat because its crazy lean like that. But my DH won't eat that, so I'm sure he'd freak if I tried to serve Kangaroo ;)
That's so interesting -- Kangaroo farming in Texas!
Sounds good to me! I have never had kangaroo sausages, but I am rather partial to a kangaroo steak.
