Sounds good... and appealing food for a kid.

Has anyone tried kangaroo meat cheesesteaks? A quick google search
didn't uncover anything... (AFAIK, cheesesteaks aren't particularly
common down here).

Thanks...

Horry,

I've enjoyed grey kangaroo steaks! Nothing like Philly cheesesteaks.

Prepared to perfection by the boss's Mom in Adelaide!

I prefer hers! Catherine Mary Joseph [RIP]

Best,

Andy

You might start a national trend by being the first to cook it. You
might also throw the whole thing in the trash. I've never had the
opportunity to try kangaroo. The closest I could guess is "tastes like
possum" which I haven't eaten either.

Yes, at least that's what I would have called it. A meal in Darwin. I
forget what *they* called'em though. They were fast cooked thin meat bits
layered on a toasted long bun with white cheeses in there and grilled
onions.

Same place that had the warning sign for us USA types that the 'Hamburgers'
were just that. Ham steaks on a burger bun <grin>. Right side of the
street by the big baobob tree with the Possum-looking family living in it.
