KANGAROO is set to bounce back on to Russian dinner tables after a two-year ban on the meat prompted by a hygiene scare, according to the Russian ambassador.
The return of the trade would be a boost for Queensland kangaroo shooters and meat processing facilities, who have suffered badly since the 2009 import ban.Up to 2000 jobs could be restored, many in Queensland.
Half a dozen factories in the state, including two in Brisbane, have been mothballed since the ban was imposed.

If you've never eaten it, I recommend you try it. Fantastic is too mild a term to describe its rich flavor. It even edges out reindeer.
#1 - Wed Nov 23, 2011 4:27 AM ESTWild game is the primary meat source in my household ....but a kangaroo seems a little too much like chewing on a giant oppossum to me.LOL. But.... I have never gnawed on one so it may well be delicious.
#2 - Wed Nov 23, 2011 4:41 AM ESTI've never had wild roo, but the raised version is very much better than beef, and I love a good NY strip. If you get the opportunity to try it, don't hesitate.
We eat possums too down in Tasmania where I come from. A bit like rabbit.
In the southern US, there are those who still eat opossums, but it is definitely not the first choice.
#3 - Wed Nov 23, 2011 7:13 AM ESTSome people love a possum....say its tender and all but they are a greasy damn thing on the hoove so I can only imagine...besides ....I like old poss he has some personality.
I've eaten a raccoon...more than once,we used to have these wild game suppers with a group from all over the country and everyone would bring some bizzare and regional thing to the table . The raccoon was passible... but i didn't feel the need to run out and buy a blue tick hound afterward.LOL.
Muskox wasn't bad....Seal was better.LOL.
Hunt, I've always passed on the possum, but I have tried racoon a time or two. It's OK, but not on the routine menu. Musk ox is something I haven't tried. I ahve spent some time above the Artic Circle, but never encountered them. I do love reindeer, though.
I tasted whale blubber once so I think I'll pass on the seal. If the whale blubber is nasty, a seal's diet will probably make it even nastier.
For business reasons, I had an agent in Korea. On a visit there, I asked him what a particular thing was that was on the street vendor carts. He said that there was no English word for it. So I asked him what it tasted like. His reply was, "It tastes like s*%$!". I then asked why people ate it. His reply was, "Ah, tradition!".
I am looking at yak meat to try.
