Just plain different mostly. More lean so less fat and cholesterol
for folks who count those.

When I tried one I *could* tell the difference, but the difference
wasn't large enough to make any difference beyond 'ok, so I can

I remember good bison chili on Catalina Island near Los Angeles,
but I remember the natural beauty of the island more.
