My family has started eating kangaroo quite a lot recently. We used to eat a lot of lamb back when it was a cheap cut of meat decades ago, but the ever rising price (lamb shanks used to be around $2 each as a throwaway cut, nowadays they are around $10 each in my local supermarket) has made us switch to roo.
I love it in stir fries, an my oldest teenage son who is becoming a gym junky loves eating it because of its low fat content and high protein. I think the secret is getting the marinade right. We tend to douse it in a lot of mediterranean herbs and wine overnight so it has a similar taste to highly spiced lamb yiros meat when cooked up in a pan.
Interestingly, one of our cats eats nothing but raw kangaroo mince (aside from dry biscuits) and he has grown HUGE (as in huge frame, not fat). Talking to vets and other cat owners, apparently kangaroo meat can do that to a cat...
