There was an even worse concoction called 'corduroy', so named because it gave a rough feeling on the tongue and palate.

kangatarian

/kæŋ.ɡəˈtɛə.ɹɪ.ən/

As a vegetarian for the past 10 years, I'm an unlikely candidate for a hunting party. But considering my plans, shouldn't I take a look for myself at how these animals are slaughtered? You see, I'm thinking of becoming a kangatarian – someone who eats no meat apart from kangaroo. One reason for the dietary switch is personal. After a long battle with anaemia that is hard to combat with iron tablets, I feel that what my body really needs is the occasional hunk of red meat.

If the only meat you eat is kangaroo, you are a kangatarian. And kangatarians are multiplying, although not as quickly as the marsupials they feast on. […] Most kangatarians are driven by environmental and ethical issues, while some are attracted by the healthier fat profile of the meat.

2012, Joe Schwarcz, “Weird and Wonderful”, in The Right Chemistry: 108 Enlightening, Nutritious, Health-conscious and Occasionally Bizarre Inquiries into the Science of Everyday Life, Toronto, Ont.: Doubleday Canada, →ISBN, page 203:

Kangatarians (vegetarians who eat only kangaroo meat) regard it as a healthy food – extremely lean, low in saturated fats, full of iron, free-range and organic. Kangaroos are well suited for kangatarians, who are seriously concerned about the environment and ethics.
