Description

Em makes a shocking confession: a huuuuge portion of the red meat she eats is kangaroo and she feels weird about it. We unpack why eating Australia’s most iconic animal still feels taboo, even though it's iron-rich, sustainable, and weirdly delicious in tacos.

Also in this episode:
- Why there’s no McRoo on the Macca’s menu
- A completely subjective ranking of supermarket kangaroo options
- Ben’s homemade kangaroo jerky adventures
- And some light food therapy, obviously

Recipes mentioned include:
- Chef Dennis bolognese
- RecipeTin Eats bolognese
- Kangaroo jerky
