I eat BISON regularly.....the healthy red meat

[Fishhead]

Love BISON and eat it almost bi-weekly, if not weekly.

Why?

TASTE

Bison tastes great! Most people interviewed feel bison is the most flavorful meat they have ever tasted, with a sweet and rich flavor. Bison is naturally flavorful and tender and can be prepared much the same as beef without special handling.

VALUE

Bison falls into the gourmet or specialty meat category at your supermarket or meat market. The value of bison is not what you pay, but what you get in return. Nutritionally you are getting more protein and nutrients with fewer calories and less fat. Bison is a dense meat that tends to satisfy you more while eating less.

HEALTH

Bison are not subjected to growth hormones or stimulants. The members of the National Bison Association feel so strongly about this that they have adopted a resolution opposing the use of these substances in the production of bison for meat.

NUTRITION

Research has shown that the meat from bison is a highly nutrient dense food because of the proportion of protein, fat, minerals, and fatty acids to its caloric value. Comparisons to other meat sources have also shown that bison has a greater concentration of iron as well as some of the essential fatty acids necessary for human well being.

I too eat bison instead of Cow. I try not to eat too much meat, but when I do it is lean.

Hey, have you tried Ostrich? I had an (organic)Ostrich burger the other day grilled here, it was great! Also very lean, and low in cholestral.

Wow Fish, never thought you'd pay that much attention to what you eat. Good for you, I wish I knew half that much about what I eat. Life is too short, so I eat what I want with my little saying "Things that taste good are probably not good for you and the food that is good for you probably tastes like crap" :lolBIG: ,so I stick to what I like, your body gets used to what you eat and will adapt as long as it's not a big change I think. Bison and Venison are very tasty

Duck?

Like a way more savory brand of chicken. Just the flavor and tenderness of the meat is just so damn good.

I have only had peking duck, you get the scalions and hoison sauce then you put it in one of those flavorless tortilla shells just like moo shi chicken or moo shi pork or something.

I havent had it in years. It was something nice me and my x used to treat ourselves too. It's 20$ or more and has to be ordered ahead of time, only the nicer chinese restaraunts will have it.

I'm sure theres other duck dishes that are good, and other ways to go about it. It really is one of the more delicacy type meats you will have. Try it sometime in your life. Definatly. Awesome stuff.

i thought you were actually going to tell us that you went out and shot a couple bison ..

i can picture you in a elmer fudd hat with your shotgun heading out to get some healthy meat...

 

[Fishhead]

WNO- Actually, Mr. Fudd does resemble me somewhat.........in more ways than one.

One of the first times I had a Buffalo Burger I liked it so much I had to order another. It tastes better than beef, more flavorful. It's also leaner like some have mentioned.

Do yourself a favor and buy some ground Buffalo meat and make yourself a burger.
