Among other things, I've eaten kangaroo, crocodile, emu, and camel also venison (deer) and chevon (goat) - yeah I have no more problem eating Bambi than I do Skippy ;)
Kangaroo steak is yummy, but the flavour and texture really depends on the cut of meat you get, and it's best when seasoned to bring out the natural flavours. Crocodile is... okay, it sorta tastes like beef but with a texture halfway between chicken and fish,that's a bad description, but in anycase, I really like it. I didn't like emu, but that could just be because i had it in greasy sausages. Camel was okay, but nothing to write home about.
If you're ever in Melbourne during the summer, we should totally go to the Vic night market (Wednesday nights during the summer) and go to the Aussie BBQ place - has all of the above and more. Yummmmmmmy!
From an environmental point of view, Kangaroo meat is actually better for the land here in Australia - kangaroos don't destroy the land like cattle and sheep do, so yeah, the Kangaroo farming industry has my complete support.
