Kangaroos Don’t Fart!
It’s relevant. I promise. Here’s why:
We learn from Michele Field in the latest edition of Gastronomica that Cows, Rabbits, Sheep and other farting farm animals contribute about 1/3 of the world’s methane production via their rectums. Methane is a greenhouse gas. Kangaroos don’t fart. See the connection?
I don’t personally know whether a kangaroo’s lack of gas makes it any greener than other meats. But, I think that it certainly is relevant to those who consider environmental aspects when making food choices.
Kangaroo Meat is also uber-lean…and our entire staff loved eating it after our photo shoot of the below cuts:
Kangaroo Medallions
Kangaroo Burgers
Kangaroo Frenched Racks
Kangaroo Boneless Loins
Ground Kangaroo Meat
And, for you Aussie expats looking to celebrate your National Day, we also have a full-line of Ostrich Meat.
What would I do with a quarter pound of truffles? The closest I ever came to using truffles was truffle oil, and it gave a spectacular flavor to the pasta dish I used it in. But 1/4 pound of the REAL THING – Wow! With me at age 86, most of my friends are at the preferring-only-bland-foods stage, and it would be a shame to waste real truffles on people who wouldn’t appreciate them. So I would put my truffles for sale on eBay, with the hope they would go to someone who would cherish them. Then with the resulting money I would go to the best restaurant in these parts and order a truffle-laden dish. Everyone would be a winner – I, the purchaser, and the restauranteur!

January 17th, 2009 at 12:47 pmYes, cows fart, and their methane “emissions” contribute to global warming. But grain-fed feedlot cows fart the most, and they’re the least healthy. Cows that graze in pastures emit much, much less methane.

January 20th, 2009 at 9:02 amIt is interesting that kangaros dont fart too.
But don’t all animals produce gas is they eat herbs or meat? So maybe ‘roos don’t fart (and how do they really know?, maybe they’re silent) but they have to release gas somehow.
January 21st, 2009 at 8:55 amI have had kangaroo meat in Australia a few times and it is delicious, as is ostrich and crocodile. Camel meat (another thing they’re trying to get people eating down under), however, I think you guys could skip.
Oh my goodness. Well, this is one of those tidbits my husband loves me for. I will have to tell him as soon as he makes it home.
Now. I attempted to find the sachet article you wrote and can not find it. I wanted to say that yesterday I made my first sachet using cheese cloth, and it worked very well. The corned beef was tasty and the seasonings were not floating every where or stuck to the meat. I remember all the spices stuck on the meat the first time I attempted a corned beef brisket. That was 30 years ago. This time the spices stayed in the sachet and that made me happy. I just love all the things I learn on this site.
