Sunday Driver Posted March 31, 2010 Share Posted March 31, 2010 We spent the day shopping in La Roche sur Yon and popped into JP's Brasserie for a quick plat de jour - Kangaroo and chips.....[:)]Very tender and tasty - a bit like beef bourguignon.I looked it up on Wikipaedia when I got home and apparently it has anti-carcinogenic and anti-diabetes properties in addition to reducing obesity and atherosclerosis.Might have to change my user name to Skippy.............[:P] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Coeur de Lion Posted March 31, 2010 Share Posted March 31, 2010 Kangaroo is very nice. Never understood why it isn't more popular. Kills to birds with one stone, keeps the roo population under control and feeds our bellies too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iceni Posted April 1, 2010 Share Posted April 1, 2010 You forgot to mention cleaning up the roads as well. The downside being starving crows but you can't win 'em all.John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will Posted April 1, 2010 Share Posted April 1, 2010 We've had kangaroo steaks in primitive Normandy for several years now, believe it or not. It was even served up at the annual cheveux blancs lunch for our commune a couple of years ago. And they liked it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anton Redman II Posted April 26, 2010 Share Posted April 26, 2010 There are loads of places in Europe which have farmed Ostriches including a litentious couple in the Dordogne. One of my most bizarre moments was a being on an express train through Germany and speaking german for the first time in 20 years with a mixed group of Dutch, South Africans, British and Germans. I remarked I had just seet an Ostrich in somebody's garden. Linguistic chaos then ensues while I try and explain that it was an big bird that cannot fly from the South of Africa not somebody from Linz Graz or Wein and how could I tell at that distance. Apart from visiting the German TV Channel Pro Seiben which produced one good German pun "We were going to call it Pro Sex but is not everybody" it was just about the only fun I had over that vastly illogical and over complicated piece of software whose name described its clients SAP.

mint Posted April 26, 2010 Share Posted April 26, 2010 [quote user="Sunday Driver"]Might have to change my user name to Skippy.............[:P] [/quote]Er.............SD, I thought I was the only person who, having driven automatics for years, now forget that there is such a thing as a clutch.Met an elderly, distressed lady in Netto's car park last week and she said she couldn't get her car to start. So, I said, let me have a go and ...........yes, you guessed it, I forgot to check if it was in neutral and the start was a bit "skippy"[:(] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jonzjob Posted April 27, 2010 Share Posted April 27, 2010 Oh dear Doux! I am trying to think who it was that said that the old ones were the best ones so I can smack him in the kisser! Groan [+o(]They go along with a Crimble cracker joy that I once had it said that "we are born crying, live complaining and die dissapointed". It really made my Christmas thinking of that?

Alan Zoff Posted April 27, 2010 Share Posted April 27, 2010 Makes nice meaty stews but tends to be a bit salty for me, unless that's just the way our local restaurant - "The Kangarou" - serves it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
