Fatty Filipino Pork Chunks at Pistahan

ROBYN! You ate LECHON! :D

Had some a couple of months ago. Huge roast pig laid out on a table, with people slicing bits straight off it. Here's a picture:

For someone who grew up with it, I never really acquired a taste for lechon though. But I do like "the loud potato chip-like crunch of the skin on the first bite." :)

VIVA LES CREPES! I love it. The looks of sheer awe on their faces.

Shakey's Pizza. Oh, the childhood memories. That was where I drank half a bottle of hot sauce as a child while my mother looked on and did nothing to stop me. To this day I don't think I have the full range of human taste buds.

Eat Kangaroo, Save the Earth?

It wasn't bad. "Gamier" is also the word that occurred to me, in comparison with beef. I wouldn't go out of my way to eat it again though.

Eat Kangaroo, Save the Earth?

hey everyone..
well Im an Aussie and i eat roo all the time its a family fav.

most ppl make the mistake of cooking roo like beef but u cant due to the lack of fat if u do u dry it out and make it tough and gamy...yuck!

We have too many roos here (to the point the goverment had to cull some near my place a few months back due to a lack of food and dangerous numbers) and they are healthy (less fat more protein)

so hey eat roo eat the bald eagle if u want (i thought it was endangered? and if so please dont.) Im not upset up it and alot of other aussies arent either.

I had a "Australia Coat of Arms" dish once. It had Kangaroo, Emu, and Croc.
The Emu was the best. The Kangaroo was chewy, we actually joked that we must have gotten the pouch.

Apparently there is a kangaroo overcrowding problem in Oz too, plus I think you are right, iwannacook, the love of beef runs deep in Aussie culture. My boyfriend is Aussie so we head out for a steak once a week to satisfy his "need" *lol* I think eating kangaroo meat makes sense but it does have that "cheap meat" image in Oz, but overly exotic and expensive overseas. Hopefully that will change eventually.
