Hmm, I'm not sure the list has only two entries.

Not only do:

:kanga: Australians eat Kangaroo; but

:allen: French eat roosters;

:sheep5: Greeks eat Sheep;

:upanova: Grenadians eat Ostrich;

:oryx: Namibians eat Oryx; and

:springbk: South Africans eat Springbok.

And that's not even counting Canada.... :rolleyes:

Back in Delaware they have an (actual, not themed like Outback) Australian restaurant called Matilda's that serves kangaroo. It's pretty good.

ReaaaAAAAlllly? Thanks! Let's see, that's a two hour drive away, but it is right on the way to New York City, where I'll be going next month.

If only I knew about this when I was actually IN Newark, Del last month. Ah well, thanks for the tip.

It's like 300 yards from the 896 exit from 95. It's across the street from the University of Delaware's football stadium, next to the McDonalds.
