Method
1.
 Trim kangaroo, cut into portions. Brown the trimming and make into kangaroo jus
 
2.
 Soak quandongs in hot water until doubled in size. Poach in a light sugar syrup until tender. Thicken slightly with colfo. The end result should resemble jam. Bring lilli pilli to the boil & simmer for 1-2 minutes in a light sugar syrup, just enough to cover fruit. Thicken with colflo to a compote consistency. Make lemon scented gum dampers, cook in smoke and embers.
 
3.
 Mix jus & kangaroo jus & thicken slightly. Infuse with wild pepper leaves by simmering for 20 minutes. Pan cook kangaroo. Rest. Slice. Serve lilli pilli in damper and quandong compote on plate
 

Where can you get quandongs?

[Snoopy]

From this lady in Australia where they are known as "Wild Peaches":

[Nick]

This is getting expensive.Maybe I could use tame peaches instead 

[Snoopy]

How do you tame a peach? 

Nick introduces himself and terror does the rest. 

[Nick]

I have peaches.

I merely lack the kangaroo!

[Snoopy]

I told you where to buy that 

You drove within a couple of miles of the place on Thursday afternoon.

  No! But there is a Farm shop at Bodfari that specialisies in "exotic" meats, including Crocodile, Kangaroo and various others.

[Nick]

But are they local crocs?

[Snoopy]

No ~ most of what they sell is imported.

There is a local farm that sells beef from Water Buffalo that they breed themselves, on the hills overlooking the Dee Estuary.

[Nick]

So these eco-friendly kangaroos are jetted in. Or do they migrate in a herd?

[Snoopy]

Dead, butchered and frozen before they set off from Oz, same as the crocs. The ostriches may be farmed in the UK tho'.
