Buffalo is Back!

Just rang up Whole Foods and they got re-supplied with buffalo meats.
Finally!!!

I was a little confounded at the shortage of the buffalo supply but after
thinking about it, heck, they don't grow on trees!!! Thank God! LOL!!!

I'd rather eat deer, elk or antelope. I think buffalo is rather bland.

Alex,

I'd try those, except deer--my backyard/deer tick beasts.

Andy loves his buffalo burgers, Chemo. He's been like a ship without
a rudder without it. Thank goodness his beloved buffalo is back!

sf,

Why yes, yes I do like buffalo. Heck, even my blood pressure is back to
normal. <VBG>

There's a restaurant/saloon called the "Half Moon" about an hour away in
Kennett Square (the mushroom capital of the world) that serves up a dozen
or so kinds of wild game, in the form of burgers. It was showcased on a
segment of "Food Paradise: Burger Paradise."

http://www.halfmoonrestaurant.com/

I've been meaning to try it.

Best,

Andy

Andy, I've had buffalo burgers (grass fed), as well as grass fed
beef. I have relatives who are in a different economic stratum than
myself. I like it, but never got the 9-10 dollars a pound for
hamburger thing. I feel the same way about grass fed steaks. In the
olden days, they used to grass feed and corn finish. Now it's mostly
either grass fed to the end, or way too much supplemental corn before
corn finishing. Given a choice, I prefer the flavor of the latter,
though I realize it is both less healthy and less environmentally
friendly.
Perhaps I should have written, "In my experience, 'Grass fed buffalo
does tend to be blander than corn finished beef.'" Hey, it's me who
has the cheap tastes, right?

Bryan,

Could be a taste bud thing? I've had corn fed buffalo and it tasted no
different than ground chuck.

A couple (for me) advantages of free range buffalo is I can have a bloody
rare burger or steak without worrying about ecoli. Don't remember where I
learned that. The other is, compared to beef, it has next to no effect as
far as gout attacks go. Why? I dunno!

I've seen ostrich at Whole Foods which looks super-lean. No clue how it's
raised OR tastes.

Best,

Andy

Looks interesting. Sorry I hadn't heard about is sooner.

We were down that way at the Longwood Gardens Jazz and Wine fest last week.
We were thinking about stopping somewhere local for dinner on the way home
but hadn't brought anything with us to look stuff up (laptop, GPS, etc.), so
we just headed home and ordered out.

I'll have to try their free-range stuff. I buy ground bison at BJ's and
Super-Fresh, but I don't think it's free-range or grass fed. I prefer it to
beef for burgers.

Jon,

Well now that you know...

In all my time in PA, I've never been to Longwood Gardens! I did however
get hung up at Winterthur several times.

I rummaged around the internet and dug out (AH!!! Honey, I found it!)) the
Longwood Gardens performance/concert schedule and saw Boz Scaggs! June 20th.

Maybe I'll stop by.

Best,

Andy

Farm raised deer, elk or antelope don't have that gamy taste and are
actually quite good.

l, not -l,

Great.

I never stepped foot inside the Mark Hopkins hotel either. I didn't quite
have the first class credentials at the time.

I can't think of what I liked and am afraid of trying again. Let me think
about it.

I'll come up with something, no doubt!

Andy

Jon,

First, try it without anything added to get the entire natural flavor, then,
next try, add stuff.

Ever see the farms in the Southwest? I seem to recall that they
encourage visitors to stop.

It's not so much that as that the bacteria that the surfaces of the
meat could be contaminated with is far less likely to be disease
resistant than in factory farmed (feedlot) cattle, where because of
overcrowding and too long a time spent on too much corn, the cattle
get sick and require antibiotics. I've taken my chances on the bloody
raw beef since I was about 12, and started buying my own beef so that
I could eat it raw. Yeah, I know, weird. Most kids would spend their
money on candy or fast food. For me it was bottom round steaks. I
could get one for less than a dollar, and it provided me a good long
while of pleasure eating it because it was so tough. I have good
teeth.

Every time I've eaten it it has reminded me of chicken or turkey
gizzard/heart meat.
I've given it a few chances, each time from a different source. No
ostrich for me.

Bryan,

When Mom would buy ground beef, it tasted delicious raw! As kids, we used to
grab bits when we were within reach as she prepared something.

We even had steak tartare! Raw eggs even! It was Heaven!

Ah,.. the good old days. [sigh]

I hate flying with a passion - the mess at airports, etc. I have
driven coast-to-coast several times and have taken the train with a
sleeper on more than one occasion.

It's a BIG country.
