I ended up paying the price for eating this last night. For about 8
hours (and still counting). It was really only about 4 ounces - I
forgot I only ate half of what I bought. I pan fried it in half
butter and half EVOO. I don't see how grilling it would reduce the
effects (unless you overcook it, which can be done anyhow).

Looks like Iron-Gut Sqwertz has finally met his match. I got about
2.5 hours of sleep last night.
