    We eat a fair bit of roo here, never seen a kangaroo roast before though!...we usually just buy the fillets and treat them like a (beef) steak. I really like it, but it does have a very distinct flavour. I reckon you could use the mince for spag, lasagne, meatballs, anything you would make out of regular beef mince really....mexican would be awesome too, chilli, tacos etc

    Roo goes really with red wine or bbq kind of flavours. Or even those kitschy 'australian bush' spices you can buy at the supermarket. When it's cooked right it's really tender (like an expensive cut of beef), but yes when overcooked it'll get very chewy, best way to eat it is medium/medium rare. Just treat it like beef (but shorten the cooking time) and you can't go wrong really.
    HTH and enjoy
