Whatcha Eatin'?

[deathstorm]

I had bison. Once that's good

[RelentlessOblivion]

Keen to give that a go actually

[FatherAlabaster]

Bison is pretty yummy. I only had a steak once that I can remember, but I've had some delicious bison burgers and jerky.

[BlutAusNerd]

I agree, it tastes a bit like beef, but is more lean and rich.

[deathstorm]

I had ostrich beef steaks

[BlutAusNerd]

I've never had ostrich, but am game to try almost anything.

[deathstorm]

I had that long time ago. It was good jayke. Wish they still make them

[RelentlessOblivion]

I'd give ostrich a go. Wouldn't mind trying pidgeon or pheasant either for that matter.

You can still get ostrich meat. I haven't seen steaks around, but I've seen it at burger places. There's a place in park slope that does ostrich, deer, elk, bison, and maybe some other stuff I can't recall, along with beef, turkey, and vegetarian options. Wish I could afford to eat there again, the elk burger I had was fantastic.

That hAve boar elk and bison

[FatherAlabaster]

It wasn't either of those. I've been eating too many bread products lately. I love bread and bagels and rolls, but I've got to cut back.

[deathstorm]

I know once your hooked. That got ya

[BlutAusNerd]

"Game"... nice one.

I didn't say that intentionally, but noticed before I posted it and chuckled a little as I hit the submit button.

It tastes exactly like kangaroo, which isn't surprising all things considered, don't know if you can get 'roo stateside. I know we export it to Japan.

[FatherAlabaster]

I've never seen kangaroo available, but I'd be surprised if it wasn't being offered somewhere. Not that I'm drooling in anticipation, mind you. Just had a nice herb salad with Kalamata olives and pickled artichokes on top. Occasionally I'll make it with smoked trout, although that doesn't go as well with the olives. Yum.

I'm not saying it's impossible to encounter it, but I'd be surprised if I did as I haven't earlier.

'Roo can be difficult to cook, if it's under the meat is stringy, over it's tougher then leather, it has to be served medium-rare to be edible.

Ostriches have been successfully farmed here as well. We've got a lot of space and a meat-hungry human population. And it's not like people haven't been munching on these tasty animals for several thousands of years.

[RelentlessOblivion]

And in Australia we have an abundance of space and a climate which suits farming some of the native fauna along with introduced species like rabbit and deer. Again most of the native wildlife were being consumed well before European settlers came to Australia.

I wouldn't say I'm averse to the idea of eating kangaroo meat, but neither would I seek it out. Aside from the readily available beef and lamb, I've had goat, rabbit, bison, elk, and venison. While I found all but the goat to be enjoyable, I tend to prefer beef, and venison is the only one I think I could eat with any frequency.

[Midi]

I see. As far as meat here goes, I've tasted the usual animals' and rabbit, pheasant, deer and boar meat.

[RelentlessOblivion]

The usual suspects tend to get a little boring so it's nice to mix things up a little.

Chicken is probably the meat I consume the most. Turkey can be really good if it's not too dry, and good duck is amazing.
