In the late 80s or early 90s there was a restaurant in Adelaide called “Thai Me Kangaroo Down”

It was in Gilles St in the old Glo-Bos

Despite the name it was fantastic!

Aha, Wikipedia reveals Floyd On Oz was made in 1991 – perhaps someone with influence saw it.

Kangaroo also goes well with Indian flavours: ‘roo masala is prety good eatin’.

@Quatrefoil: I can live without the coffee there. It seems strange to go to such a rural-feeling market to drink barrista-made coffee from a branded disposable cup. I'm meant to be giving up coffee anyway. Instead, we had the West African ginger beer -- more like a cold ginger tea, very spicy! @Snif and @Benn Glazier: In my early visits to Sydney I remember lamenting the lake of roo meat. A Google search for the sophisticated search terms "when did kangaroo mean become available for human consumption in new south wales" reveals an awful lot of sites by people wanting to ban the kangaroo industry, some with detailed histories. However flipping the page we discover that the magic year was 1992, with the passing of the Meat Industry (Game Meat) Amendment Bill. I also found the website of the Kangaroo Industry Association of Australia, with yummy-looking recipes. ผัดพริกแกงจิงโจ้อร่อยมากๆ!

Kangaroo for human consumption has been available for at least a decade outside of SA. I’m not sure if it’s longer as 10 years is the duration I’ve not been in SA for!

I could be wrong , but isn’t it only in the last few years that kangaroo meat for human consumption was available outside SA?

(I remember seeing an episode of “Floyd In Oz” where he was beamoaning said circumstances)

It seems the Marrickville market has become the village well for my community — I wasn’t there this week though — see you there next week maybe, for your chance to meet up with various old friends! And the hot tip: if the lines for coffee are too long — the newsagent around the corner does good coffee too.

@Snarky Platypus: Oh dear, that’s like my line on the weekend, when we saw that bloke with his two dogs waiting for someone outside a Chinese takeaway: “Don’t stand around there with your dogs too long, mate. You never know what’ll happen to them.” Ho ho.

The Chinese greengrocer told us that kangaroo meat smells too strongly. She feeds it to her dogs.

Oh that might explain the gamey tasting “sweet and sour pork” at the Marrickville Chinese takeaway…
