Tried a Trader Joe's buffalo burger this morning. It didn't taste at all
like the buffalo flavor I've come to expect recently. It tasted like
ordinary ground beef.

The first batch of frozen burgers I tried and the loose ground buffalo
tasted identical and both products of Canada.

TJs buffalo burgers are a U.S. product. Same no hormone, antibotic claims.

I wonder why the flavor difference. I liked the Canadian products more.

Hmmm...

Probably corn fed.

nb,

That's it! The TJs Buffalo box states "grain fed." The Canadian products
stated "free-range" so that means grass-fed?

What a difference!

Thanks,

Andy

Yep. We can expect a e coli outbreak in our wikiups at any moment,
now.

I've only tried buffalo burger once (in a restaurant). It didn't
taste as good as ground beef, which is why there was no second time
for me.

Eeeew! You prefer grass fed over corn fed? Get outta here! I don't
believe you. Grass fed tastes flat, flat, flat and salt can't
resurect it.

I didn't know corn was involved in the "feed" the mad cows eat. Where
did you find that information?

Along this, there are many other things that can be fed to a cow or ox:
eggs, for example, improve taste, and also beer improves it. I'm thinking to
Bue di Carru' from Piedmont and Kobe steak from Japan.

Newspaper, shipping packing, plastic, and lord knows what. The very
worst practice was feeding cattle ground up butchered beef waste.
IOW, cow cannibalism! This last practice was very widespread and is
the cause of mad cow disease.

Now it's strictly forbidden, but who knows... sometimes the police finds
unchecked meat, or meat with fake birthplace / slaughter-place labels.
OB Food frauds: last two frauds I heard of were half a metric ton of
parmesan in Milan which was labeled "24 months old" while it was made only
one year before, and then a good number (in the 1000's) of fake Sassicaia
bottles in Rome, LOL.

Andy, you really are fixated on buffalo, aren't you? Heh. I can't find a
buffalo steak or buffalo burger at the grocery store. I can't find a TJ's,
for that matter. I can find some nice lamb steaks or veal, if you're
interested. Sorry, they aren't buffalo "veal"

Yeah, I've been enjoying buffalo. I'd love a lamb steak or veal, thank you!
Now don't go worrying your pretty little self over a few buffalo burgers.
