What does kangaroo taste like?

Kind of like a gamey beef. It's quite delicious rare and medium rare, but doesn't take well to long cooking.

It's best as steaks, grilled kebabs and such... The mince makes an OK substitute for beef in dishes that are moist (Such as a bolognese) but isn't good for dry dishes (Like burgers).

If you're using it for something more moist, you should lard it with something... I use butter, because Hey, nothing wrong with extra butter.

It's a gamey meat compared to steak, and susceptible to overcooking if you're not careful. But it provides a high protein, low fat, affordable alternative to beef. And if you're into that sort of thing, is apparently more 'sustainable'.
Moose.

Well... somewhere between chicken and beef but chewier. Moose is more beefy than chickeny.

It's a little gamey, but quite a lean meat so the flavour isn't overwhelming.
Whale.
