Who in the US uses kangaroo

[Handstitched]

@TomWisc  I'm not from the US ( Western Australia ) , however, I did buy some roo skins  whilst on special , mostly black but a few brown.  . I have made a quite a few wallets using these  roo skins  and they are really good go work with, either machine stitch or hand stitch .  I make just  simple  or basic wallets with enough space for notes, and about 1/2 doz cards, some with  a coin pouch &  room for a pic, some with some without a snap, but  not  those with a  gazillion pockets, about 2" thick  that hold everything but the kitchen sink, more pockets & slots means more work . Anything bigger than a ' normal' size wallet, you'll be needing a small purse....or dare I say.... a man bag ?? 

I find that roo skins do the job. They're not too thin and not too thick either , just right  at around 1mm ,  very durable  and fold easily  . 

 ( P.S. Roo meat tastes delicious   high in iron &  protein and very low in fat . )

i would love to taste a steak of roo ))

Tastes delicious , marinated &  done on a BBQ goes well too. ' Kanga bangas'  ( roo sausages)  are really nice   . I have also eaten emu ( pronounced ' eemyoo '  here ....not emooo) . Strong game flavour...yum   

We are the only country  that eats its national emblem.....apparently    ...as well  making leather goods out of them

Well in the UK the national emblems are lions, unicorns & Dragons.... so we must of eaten them all

A good kangaroo steak is better then the best beef you have ever eaten. Emu is a strong dark meat, almost like beef IMHO. Very tasty and both are very good for you because they are very low in fat and high in iron.

can't say I tried any of those. Never seen the meat in our local  supermarket either. The dragon would come in handy to cook the unicorns & lions....geddit??....flame grilled .....gawd !!!  

@Rockoboy You nailed it. Roo meat  is ideal for those ( meat eaters)  on a low fat diet...like I will be soon if I don't watch my waist. The first time I tried Emu, I thought " WOW" the flavour hit me like a brick, but soon fell in love with it  

@nrk Slavery has been outlawed, but you can get discount flights to Oz I'm sure. 

Leather leather leather. Had to say that, getting  just a lil' bit off topic here   

Dragon hides....hmmm     

Its been a long day.....

Lisa Sorrell uses kangaroo a lot for the cowboy boots she makes.  She is also a sponsor of this website so you should check out her store where she sells kangaroo leather.
