Tatanka?

link farked! allready!

Fark broke my interweb

Bison - it's whats for dinner.


I sill prefer emu or kangaroo.

Again...leave my dog out of this. Get a new line. Why does Fark let this stuff seep through?

Bison has been my only red meat for over a year now (that I prepare myself anyway). It's higher in iron too. The advantage to living in the midst of grazing country is that there's about 5 suppliers close by so it's not as expensive as it is in other places, since I can order directly from the rancher. It doesn't have a gamey taste at all. Like madcharlie said, it's just like eating lean beef, so you have to cook it lightly and/or slowly, which is also better for you.

Too bad it hasn't really caught on.

Tatanka, buffalo.
Tatanka.

Buffalos are mi-t-tasty.

I want a drumstick!

i had some last night; the meat seemed greasier/oilier than beef.

What's the difference between a buffalo and a bison?

Answer..You can't wash your hands in a buffalo!

......oh, come on..it a joke waiting to happen, you're just pissed YOU didn't think of it.

Dunbar: Welcome. Welcome. Hi. Come. Please sit down. Sit down. (chuckles) Wait just a ... just a minute.
Wind In His hair: (in Lakota) [His mind is gone.]
Dunbar tries to imitate a buffalo.
Kicking Bird: (in Lakota) Tatanka.
Dunbar: (snorts)
Wind In His Hair: (grunts)
Kicking Bird:(in Lakota) Tatanka.
Dunbar: (trying to speak Lakota) Tanka?
Kicking Bird: Tatanka.
Dunbar: Tan - tanka.
Kicking Bird: (in Lakota) Ee -yah.
Dunbar: Tan -
Kicking Bird: Tatanka.
Dunbar: Tatanka. Buffalo.
Kicking Bird: (in Lakota)
Dunbar: Buffalo.
Kicking Bird: Tatanka.
Dunbar: Buffalo.
Kicking Bird: Buff -
Dunbar: Buff - ... buff-
Kicking Bird: Buff -
Dunbar: Buffalo. Tatanka.

I am glad to see someone besides the Cornhuskers consuming buffalos. stupid left wing hippies.

You want some ?

Weird. There must have been fat added to it because bison is notoriously dry. Although I think the hump is the fattiest bit, but I've never tried that cut (usually done as a roast).

Since I live in mad cow ground zero Ive left off eating beef altogether. And If I really want a burger, I buy the buffalo meat at Trader Joes. Its a fine replacement. We will be trying emu too. I heard it tastes like beef.

ruta, it was probably something to do with being frozen patties vs. fresh ground or a steak.

Psycho Crusher!

Big heap of wompum still mask man.

Bison?

Not as good as bambi, better than crocodile, not as good as zebra, but I thought better than ostrich. Ostrich eggs now...mmm tasty. Why do we eat so few species when there are so many tasty things out there?

Perhaps the best use of the "dog wants" line evar.

PS: How DID the "dog wants" line come about?

I'd rather eat Cammy.

last time i had kangaroo it was mighty tasty

There's a little deli down the road here that serves and sells bison meat. I go there about once a month to buy a couple steaks and a pound or two of ground. I have to say, it's quite good and very enjoyable. However, the only thing stopping me from switching almost completely to it is the slightly steep price and inconvenience of that place being the sole supplier around here. If grocery stores carried it, almost 100% of my beef consumption would be bison meat, it's good stuff.

contra:

Do you have a Whole Foods nearby? They often have bison, ostrich, and other less-than-mainstream meats. You can also mail order from D'Artagnan, but they're not cheap. On the other hand, you can also get pheasant, grouse, wild boar, and all kind of tasty critters from there, too.

Possum, it's what's for dinner.

we ate buffalo a lot my wife's grandfather had a herd of about 250 head. he died in 2000 so we have been without for awhile. but it is very good. very lean.

up at Bucknell we've had the Bison burger for years...GO BISON!!!!

How do we know the same assholes that fed their cattle ground up brains of previous cattle won't do the same to bison if it catches on as a food?

The whole problem isnt eating beef, its the dumbass ranchers cutting corners with how its raised.

Whats got me boycotting beef isnt that I hate beef, or hate eating animals, or am scared. Its I dont trust these ranchers that cheat to save a few bucks. Prove to me they're not just doing the same thing to ruin bison like they did to ruin beef.

If I were conservative I'd go out and shoot my own meat, but since I'm a metrosexual city loser I'll just quit eating it, you ranchers and rural economy folks can figure it out yourselves, and sooner or later someone will cater to my market niche.

I'm still furious over how badly the meat system has been managed already.

Mmmmm Bison.

M Bison?

Yak is also good.

Mmmmm....Yaaaaak!

Mama wants a new clich.

. . . and the filters to recognize accents. Cliche. -_-;;

One of my best friends just took a position as head chef at the new Ted's Montana Grill opening in Birmingham, AL. The menu is awesome, every sandwich on the menu (which, the menu is probably 65% sandwiches) are offered with your choice of Beef, Chicken, or Bison. I can't wait to try my first bison burger and bison steak. Sounds delicious.

Good! I used to be able to find frozen burgers at the A&P, but lately not. I hope they come back.

Very tasty, but expensive. But still better then the 96% lean ground beef.

Just be carefull not to overcook them - definitely leave a little pink inside.

Well, the whole anti-terrorism thing is idiotic for the United States mainland, but people still clapped when our president spent an entire half hour on it.

The problem is that most people in the world are truly stupid, and have no grasp of the concept of probability.

Is it just me or is this a mutant Aardvark?

The problem is with what you don't know you're eating. There's a meat process whereby all the bones are mashed through cylinders like a paper press and that extracts every last shred of meat. The guck that comes out is what goes into hotdogs and other mystery meat products. Vertebrae and "dorsal root ganglia" go into that thing. (or used to).

Generation_D Hopefully it won't become a concern with bison. It has been illegal (in Canada anyway) since 1996 to use feed containing other animals because of the Mad Cow thing. Bison don't do as well on the factory farm regime anyway (including injecting them with antibiotics and hormones) if only because they're harder to wrangle than cattle, so I think there's less of an incentive to try to cut corners that way anyway, even if the rancher did have access to illegal feed somehow. But bison are naturally hardier anyway, so they don't need as much chemical coddling as cattle (alliteration!). They even have their young 'uns at more logical times of the year.

It really is a wonder that cattle ranching ever became the gigantic industry it is in North America while the much more appropriate bison were nearly eliminated. But of course the main problem was probably that bison are a bigger handful to manage and Europeans are pre-disposed to eat beef.

It's Buffalicious! (TM)

Got some ground buffalo in my freezer right now.
Plan on making some meatloaf with it, or as I like to call it, Buffaloaf.

The thing is, it's very difficult to remove all of the spine and nasty bits from the carcass, so, especially with lower quality meat, there might still be traces of brain and stuff.

I've eaten bison, tis brillig.

Here in Denver it's a relatively common meat. Not sure about other parts of the country.
