Should we eat kangaroo meat?

Roos tend to air-dry and retain the acids, rather than drain.

Cows and most 'edible game' like deer are different.

Cows have a large component of aerobic muscle, and owing to their bulk tend to favor drainage systems rather than retention, in order to avoid hemerrhoids in their body. They're used to wet climes.

Deer's acid decomposes and tenderizes the meat when aged, and also readily denatures in soups, roasts, etc. They're especially unusual in this regard for anaerobic-based game. They also prefer to push acids rather than pull them.

Small anaerobic protein game like squirrels don't have enough of anything for it to be a problem, and are typically so small that whatever is there basically falls out as soon as you open it up.

Roos are a combination of everything you just don't want in your meat.

Just like with venison and cheval - and really all meat - it should be consumed in moderation. Nobody in their right mind would eat these meats everyday for no reason. They're something for special occasions or as a treat, not a nutritional base.

I'd prefer my nutritional treat to be as low in lead content as possible, and cows and deers can offer me that but Kangaroo can't.

Lotta fat relative to its protein, but it's a criminally underrated and over-maligned meat.

Wrong. It's a block of lard. You can do everything with lard.

Just because it has nearly universal cooking application doesn't necessarily mean it's good for you nutritionally.

Like, aboriginal cooking uses roo meat...but it's in times of scarcity, and they use it as a sponge to soak up toxins from other food. Then they throw it out, instead of eating it. (There's a few different species of indigenous insects devoted solely to eating roo meat, since most scavengers will pass it up.)

Just for cooking?! You gotta think beyond the kitchen!
Lard can be used as fuel. Lard can be used as lubricant. Lard can be used as glue.
The foundations of civilisation are held together by lard!!

Actually that's all just an economic bubble meant to challenge potato starch for al lthe same applications.

If we weren't destroying agriculture to prop up the meat market we'd be using potatos for that instead. But, we have all this lard we don't need ...

You have a point. Kartoffelstärke is every German's superpower, but that's synonymous with Schmalz.

Ehh, geist-propreception. I can't find the exact term for it, but it iss Kant's observation that the German culture tends towards understanding the zeitgeist. Or god's wishes, if you will.

One the one hand yes, they are unusually fit for understanding god's mind. On the other hand, god always expresses a reluctance towards such favoritism of a country he felt ultimately rejected by. Whether they knew his mind or not.

So the liminal space between that abject hatred and the thinnest veil of forgiveness is very common in German culture, and that tends to filter into the humor as well. Especially with German Jews, who it is theorized were unfairly targeted for the brunt of god's Germany hatred, owing to his viewing them as 'ubermenschen' on a fundamental level (who fail to protect themselves and thus are also rejected, and brought to his level.)

or, uh, ahem, "I'm more of a fan of schmaltz, but schmalz is okay."
