Doesn't sound too appealing, does it?</p><p>So
in a bid to make Australia's national icon more palatable, Food
Companion International magazine and the Kangaroo Industry Association
of Australia are running a competition to find a more palatable
culinary name for the meat of the hopping marsupials.</p><p>More than
300 entries have already been received from around the world including
marsu (taken from marsupial), marla and wallagang (derived from the
Aboriginal language), agaroo and the more unlikely Cyril, Skippy, yummy
and roadkill.</p><p>"We need to come up with a catchier name for
kangaroo meat. The current name inhibits some chefs from using the
product because they know people will be put off ordering it," Mel
Nathan, editor of Food Companion, told Reuters Monday.</p><p>"Overseas
visitors tend to think that the koala and kangaroo are cute and cuddly
animals there is no way they would ever dream of eating the product."</p></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/05E5687F-040B-4765-8233-BD19F37E3A4F/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content7.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
