Build month and delays.....

I configured a 110 3.0 diesel on Monday as well, just to see what the comparison was. I stopped at £90k+ which was as close as I cld to my IG/what was 'necessary' LR option....felt pleased

A roo bar(bull bar) is a must have in Australia if you plan on going outside the big cities.
I live in a fairly busy city of 900,000 people and these pictures have all been taken in the last week within 1 km of my home.
There is a good chance you will hit something eventually.
They also give you somewhere to hang extra driving lights
As far as I am aware the new Defender isn't suitable for fitting more than a little nudge bar.

Is kangaroo edible (for humans and if grilled)?

Welcome to Australia - where we eat our National Emblems.

China must have a bat and a birds nest then

Yes it is and you can buy it in supermarkets, restaurants, or of course get your own.

Kangaroo - high protein, low fat.
great in a bolognaise (Roo mince) - but with the low fat content the sausages don't bbq too well

Similar to venison (deer) by the sounds of it

To make sausages you should always add fat or use meat with a natural fat content.
Most good sausage recipes call for around 30% fat
In this world of 4% fat being too much in milk, or even 2%, we have to suffer dryer sausages.

Yes, I had kangaroo burgers last night.

Is kangaroo edible (for humans and if grilled)?

I don't know if you are being serious or not but I have the perfect name for a road-kill cafe called 'Bull Bar and Grill' but yes is the answer and most of the meat I eat is between kangaroo and fish.
Kangaroo is as lean as you can get, it is not farmed and is as free range as you can imagine.

The best way to travel around Australia is in broad daylight but not always an option... a nudge bar or roo bar if you are out at night is comforting.
Just like my homemade roo and kidney pie at road kill cafe...just joking but the pie is real. DaveB, I think you would enjoy it...happy motoring.

Welcome to the INEOS user group Cooking Channel.
Venison is also becoming a huge protein in OZ - mainly due to the fact that there are so many of them running wild around the place. Me for my part are happy to help control the feral populations in my local area.
Last weekends hind quarter.
Before and after shots.

I bet I would.
My go to is a lamb shank pie
I make it only 3-4 times a year if we have a large gathering

Just can't believe the pun that was not intended... before and after shots...brilliant or did you hit it with a nudge bar?

It is emax who started this, all his fault but did you see the kangaroos on top of the pie and what about your six-legged sheep...special.

Hehe Max, yes sorry the pun wasn't intended, and I cannot believe I didn't pick up on it.

However, all credit to me, there was only ONE SHOT NEEDED - not bragging or anything. Perhaps that is why I didn't miss the pun, because I didn't miss, and didn't need shot(s).

Thank you guys, I didn't expect such an echo

I was half and half serious. When I saw Daves pictures I thought "the Aussies have their steaks jumping around in their gardens". So a bull bar should probably be shaped a bit oike a shopping cart. When you then come home from work your wife can just pick the steaks fom the bull bar.

But before going too much off topic a final (serious) question: how does it taste? Like beef, pork, lamb, chicken, deer?

I think a cross between deer and goat.
Personally I think it needs lots of favours added to it and it is very easy to make it tough.
We when were out camping we found the wild goats were tastier and everywhere

It can be quite nice, but really isn't that versatile because of the lack of fat.

Yes think venison.

Used for pet foods quite a lot
