Come Over For A Barbie...Aussie Style
Picture with courtesy and permission M. Barritt & K. May
Feeling peckish? Come over for a no fuss barbie. I'll just nip outback and spear a kangaroo, then build a whopping great fire. No rubs or fancy marinades, in fact we don't even bother to skin the beast (that's him just behind the pile of coals, with his bony limbs sticking up). We just chuck him on the fire and roast until medium rare, turning occasionally.
Now that's what I call a barbeque.

Yum. Crisp on the outside and tender inside. Healthiest red meat in the world, apparently. I think they pile the coals on top and then bury the lot in sand and it 'smokes' over several hours.
Now, where did you get that picture? Your backyard! No, no the outback.
Hi kitchen hand, I've seen picture of that cooking method as well, maybe it's a case of the rare meat tribe versus the well done tribe. We just don't see enough kangaroo meat around which is a shame.
Hi tanna, I have seen some local backyards where they did something similar in my younger days playing rugby with the kiwis. Usually it was in a rented house!
Oh, my! This makes crispy rabbit ears look like positively vegetarian.
They aren't skinned? What happens to the fur?
Hi gigi, the fur burns off leaving the skin which protects the meat from the flame, though sometimes they are buried in the pit and cook more slowly. The skin is taken off later.
