Marsupials

Well I just cleaned up a half-eaten ring-tail possum. And it occurred to me that what was more gruesome was the thought of how gruesome the half eaten possum would be to clean up than the actual reality of cleaning it up; it was easy. In fact it was very interesting. I think the possum had been killed the other night by a wild cat, so it was still fresh; great looking meat. Now that is an interesting cooking point- marsupials. The best marsupial meat is from a kangaroo, it's just like beef steak but better in some respects. If you're going to be BBQ'ing, Kangaroo turns out with a much better texture than beef. Also, for that special feast you were planning, whole 'roos thrown in a fiery pit are great. Perfect for weddings and birthdays.
