RENAME THE MEAT COMPETITION
A competition to rename kangaroo meat is underway. The goal is increased sales:
Update: Kev Gillett links to some suggested names for roo meat. But, not everyone is happy about the idea of eating a national icon:
Competition organiser Mel Nathan says she wants entrants to take it seriously and try not to be silly.How about kangachew?
"As I tell people, they're not allowed to come up with names like cyril, skippy, yummy or road-kill. I quite like marsu, I like marla, and I quite like wallagang," she said.
"Marsu was an interesting one, which came in from a person who thought that it reminded her of a marsupial, which a kangaroo is and at the same time it sounds a little exotic."

Australia - country of the largest wildlife slaughter of the known world. One question - The Kangaroo is a protected animal - PROTECTED AGAINST WHAT ????? To eat kangaroo is a disgrace - pure and simple. Tourists are disgusted to hear we eat our national icon.Emu anyone?

How about rooshi?
How about ooragnak.
How long before someone makes the very obvious 'naming their meat' gag.
How about just calling it 'snags' or 'steak'? I'm a big fan of hooking into a juicy jumper. Cooked right, a roo roast would give fresh milk fed lamb a run(hop) for it's money.
