Happened a few years back but, just now reading about a school lunch chef in Nebraska fired for adding kangaroo meat to the chilli.

This should have been a diplomatic incident.

What was the complaint? People don't want to unknowingly eat roo? I doubt whatever it replaced was legally classifiable as meat anyway.

Yeah the roo was too “exotic” for the school lunch program and therefore unsuitable.

Basically just ignorance about the product. Which is ironic for a learning institution.
