ANYONE for a slice of kangaroo meat? No? How about a slice of Australus? Sound any more enticing, mouth-watering even?

A three-month competition to find a culinary name for kangaroo meat, which attracted 2700 entries, was decided yesterday.

Food Companion magazine, with support from the Kangaroo Industries Association of Australia, ran the competition hoping to find a name that wouldn't put diners off when they saw it on the menu.
