KANGAROO BURGERS
Yes as a beer advertisement says we do eat our national emblem in Australia. Cook over a BBQ with beer in hand while the kids are inside watching repeats of 'Skippy The Bush Kangaroo' on TV. I think it would also work with other low-fat game meats that don't have a really strong flavour.

KANGAROO BURGERS (AUSTRALIA)
This recipe is from week 16 of my food blog, Travel by Stove. I am attempting to cook one meal from every nation on Earth, and Australia is my 16th stop. Much of the food served in Australia is indistinguishable from American or European food, except for this one: kangaroo. You probably won't find this meat at your local Safeway, but many specialty grocers can order it.

Tips:
- Choose fresh kangaroo meat: Look for meat that is bright red and firm to the touch. Avoid meat that is brown or has a slimy texture.
- Grind the kangaroo meat yourself: This will ensure that you get the best flavor and texture in your burgers. If you don't have a meat grinder, you can ask your butcher to do it for you.
- Use a combination of kangaroo meat and beef fat: This will help to keep the burgers moist and flavorful. You can use a ratio of 75% kangaroo meat to 25% beef fat.
- Season the burgers well: Use a combination of salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika. You can also add other herbs and spices to taste.
- Cook the burgers over medium heat: This will help to prevent them from drying out. Cook the burgers for 5-7 minutes per side, or until they are cooked through.
- Serve the burgers on toasted buns with your favorite toppings: Some popular toppings include lettuce, tomato, onion, cheese, and bacon.
