So why would anyone want to spend one and a quarter times more for a
buffalo burger?

Simple, it different and it taste good. With all the mad cow stuff
going on people are looking for alternatives. Near where I live there
is an Ostrich farm/market and you can buy a variety of cuts but I
prefer ground Ostrich meat for burgers and anything else. Its about
the same price high quality lean ground beef.

The breast meat braised in a little stock or treated like prime rib, is
one of the tastiest cuts of meat I have ever had from a bird. Ranks
right up there with pressed breast of peahen.

LMAO. John, I've never been to r.f.c! I've heard of Sheldon in other posts
by people I regard and, without doing any investigation myself, have,
perhaps unfairly, used him as a foil. Not in the sense of Pistia
Stratiotes.


Sheldon isn't really that bad. ;-) What would Steve W. do for a punching bag
without him?

No you got your blade right, bogeyman is the proper use of the noun
Sheldon, or the sense of the verb to Sheldon someone.
Now I water garden a bit in whiskey barrels in the summer and have grown
water lettuce but I admit to being at a loss as to the reference to the
prince of darkness. Or where you alluding to (dare I say it) the attempted
hydrating of the squid incident?

What's the big deal about buffalo burgers?

The only big deal I'm aware of with buffalo burger (or any buffalo meat) is
its astonishing ability to go from juicy and tender to old saddle leather in
about 3 nano seconds. Never cook buffalo, or even beefalo, past med rare.

Trader Joe's has/had buffalo burgers. A little more expensive
than regular, but within the range of sirloin burgers.

We stand advised and will never complain (in public) about
chewing shoe leather if we cook or order it past med-rare.

It's popular here partly because it's local (although the beef is
too), partly because it's different, but mostly because it's low-fat.
It's about the same price as beef - ie. one-tenth the cost of fish.

I wouldn't cook bison of any kind over dry heat. I'd even think twice
about grilling burgers. Bison responds very well to marinating and
braising; for some strange reason, bison is better in French country
cooking than beef.

I would not give the stuff house room. Too Dry. Too coarse. Not much
going for it. Too expensive also. Try Musk ox. There's a wonderfull
taste.

Excuse me? Where am/was I trolling, Kevin? I would not buy Bison
meat because it is too dry, too coarse, and too expensive IMNSHO.
*You* can buy all that*you* want and it be any skin off *my* ass. If
I'm trolling the only one trolled was you, old sock.

If you can convince me that one of the ugliest critters God ever
assembled from a kit actually tastes good, then IHBT, IHL, and I will
HAND.

Musk ox? Really?

PS: I really did think it was a pretty good troll, but that's because
I assume that musk ox tastes like the soles of my boots.

Yes Kevin [ but I can see where it might have been perceived as a
troll . . . .
It would have been my reaction too. But one of our chefs at the Golf
Club served a few of those roasts and it captured my fancy. Except
for availability and price it would easily be 'beef' of preference.
Bison sucks by comparison - it sucks, period.
