Title: Over The Back Fence

Just walked out the back and the old man was grazing on the reservoir embankment. He is normally alone with the rest of the mob further away.

Big bloke isn’t he.

Has anyone ever tried kangaroo tail stew/soup?? I do have vague memories of it when I was a kid but kids will eat anything.

My grand parents thought it was the best bit, but like you Derek I only have vague memories as well.

He looks like he'd be tough and gamey to me.

Hi Colin
He maybe old, but if you cannot get a good looking one
well he would just have to do. But we only want the tail. ;D ;D

Derek. The roo tail is jam packed with sinews, unlike oxtail there is only a relatively small amount of muscle.
The sinews are the "engine" of the tail but being basically collagen do breakdown in slow cooking giving the soup a very silky/meaty flavour.
All the Kimberly supermarkets stock them frozen an they dont last long. 9 ;D

Once you dry out the sinews they make fine boot laces :)
