Might just have to hop on down there myself.

They will be hopping down to Lidl.

They are in there now! With lots of new ranges as well.

Roo meat is lovely,along with Springbok, Aligator & Ostrich. I hope they get some of them down there.
Anyone buying the Roo steaks but not had them before, you should treat like a 'game dish' and have it rare'ish.

I was there today .............Poor security gaurd was really "jumpy"

Taken at the back of my Mum's house in 2005.

That's just a little too rare for me!

Oh no J, I didn't mean to put them on the menu!!!

OK, so I gave this a try.
The meat comes in a sealed polythene bag. Mine contained several small "medallions". I used 2: just less than half the pack, as a single portion.

As recommended I cooked it medium-rare. The meat is very dark in colour (nothing like what's shown on the packaging) and very low in fat so it tends to stick to the pan. I seared it first and gave it 3 minutes per side. Though that turned out to be a little too rare for my liking, so I popped it back for another minute or so.

Taste-wise, it's like venison. Very gamey and with a good flavour. I think I'll be stir-frying the rest of it.

We went into Lidl today, jumped (ha ha!) past the kangaroo steaks as we've had them before, but we came out with a piece of "real" blue stilton and quite a few other goodies, they've got a nice selection of different things in there at the mo.
