I see buffalo steaks in the supermarket. I wonder what that's like?

I've tried buffalo rib-eyes. Didn't care for them.

Cows are friendly and sociable. Curious, too.

I remember this one hang gliding site where we had to fake them out by
pretending to land over there, where they'd all run over to greet us,
then we'd divert at the last moment to another spot. So the cows would
run over and gather 'round us.

Funny thing was the bulls in a field across the street. What a fuss
they'd put up seeing us with their gals.

Most farm animals make great pets as far as I'm concerned. Chickens
are a notable exception.

You know that mad cow disease? They had mad cow disease, mad sheep
disease, mad swine disease, mad deer disease... I figure if it ever
gets to chickens we're in big trouble. You know why? Well, how will
we know? Chickens are already mad!

like very lean beef, only a bit tougher... not that that's
bad. having to chew your food isn't a bad thing. buffalo also
makes very tasty stew.
ostrich is also really very good, although a bit harder to
find than buffalo. one local store carries ostrich either
ground or cubed. the cubed "steaks" grill well, but i haven't
tried the ground yet.

Yeah. Last year I had to go out and check the local airport navigation
lights as part of my electrical training. One of the lights was in the
middle of a field full of half-grown bobby calves being raised for beef
-- about 50 animals, I guess. They were _fascinated_ by us and what we
were doing and all crowded around to have a look. One of the things I
had to do was keep them at a big enough distance so we could actually do
what we needed to do! Cute little (well, okay great big) buggers, too.

Depends on what you mean by buffalo. I've been told that bison is very
tasty and low in cholesterol. Can't say I've heard much about the taste
of water buffalo meat, but the cheese is apparently astoundingly good.

Back when I lived in Los Angeles there was a California
initiative passed that banned human consumption of horse
meat. Whacky laws that get passed by nuts. The funny
part is there was no mention of pet food. You can still
raise herds of horses and sell them for dog food.

So far I haven't tried horse meat. Maybe some day.

Bisons were taken to Santa Catalina island for a movie in
the 1940s then released. They bred wild for a while and are
now ranched commercially there. I'd have buffalo burgers and
chilli at a restaurant in Avalon on Catalina island. The flavor
of the burger was just slightly more tart than beef. The
difference was small enough I couldn't tell in the chilli.

I have a water buffalo horn as a drinking horn. I've had
mozerella di buffala. So far I haven't tried water buffalo meat.
It was featured on one of the Anthony Bourdain's A Cook's Tour
on FoodTV a few years ago.

I've only had buffalo hamburger. It seemed very much like beef to me.

There was a similar initiative in Missouri (actually prohibiting
slaughter). I don't recall if it passed. The reason for it was that
people were having their pets stolen and slaughtered.

Or stolen and sold for medical experiments. There's a black market in
misery the authorities do little about.

At very least a commercial sized freezer to keep it until it
can be cooked.

> >> you just cut 'em up small and make a **** of a lot of chili.

I've had older dairy cattle that got retired from the milk business
with a trip to the kitchen. Delicious but tough. Elephants grow
slowly enough any tender one would be little compared to the rest
of the herd. Some sort of slow/moist cooking would be the way to
go. And the usual old joke - Don't flavor with smaller critters
because folks don't like hare in their stew.

In the stone ages humans killed so many mamooths they made
tents using the tusks and skins. They wouldn't have had kettles
back then. Must've made elephant jerky. That must get way
boring after a few months.

Take the frame from a couple of comercial trucks for the a-frame
and so on. The hard part is the million spikes to tenderize the
meat! A thousand Ginzu tenderizer spikes included at no
extra charge ...

They've perfected and are presently promoting the Popeil Pocket Pachyderm
Poacher.

(No, not the kind that shoots them for their ivory. Or their lupins.)
