Thinkin Outside the Chicken Box.....: For better or "wurst"

Did you know that you can make a sausage out of basically any kind of meat!? Well,...I didn't. Get some ground meat, mix in some spices and herbs and wrap it up in a casing usually made from intestines and you got yo self a sausage! Yummy! There are also national varieties of this delicacy...and this is where the fun comes in. Did you know that in Germany they have a sausage called Bratwurst. For a long time I didn't want to try a Bratwurst, I figured if it had "Wurst" in the title it would be nasty. But, then again...whats in a name right? There is a German restaurant near my job that specializes in Brats, so I decided to stop in to grab a quick bite. They have traditional flavors like pork, lamb, and chicken and for those a little more on the exotic side you have your choice of rattlesnake, alligator, ostrich and kangaroo. So, what did I try... drum-roll please.....I decided to get the Outback Roo! Smoked Kangaroo in a bun! What can I say about my Roo???.....Well, it was definitely smoked. It had a weird smokey aftertaste, but the meat itself was juicy, and tender. If I had to compare it to a more familiar taste...I would say it tasted like chicken :). I'm just kidding, it tasted like lean beef. In fact, I hear that kangaroo meat is only around 2 grams of fat! I get to taste something exotic, and technically not cheat on my diet! SCORE! It was an all around good experience. I enjoyed the cute ambiance of the restaurant as well.
