Overview
- The mensa at FAU Erlangen’s Langemarckplatz served a chili made with actual kangaroo meat, the university confirmed.
- A wholesaler offered the meat after a separate order was canceled, and the canteen accepted it to prevent disposal.
- All roughly 400 planned portions were sold, with guests largely reacting favorably according to the communications office.
- Kangaroo dishes have appeared sporadically at the canteen for about 25 years, and the university says this remains an exception.
- A Reddit post of the menu listing—priced at €3.79 for students, €4.99 for staff, and €7.58 for guests—drew wide online attention and mixed comments.
