Buffalo meat! That's what everyone needs more of. Check it out:

Recently started eating it when I was in Colorado.

Ground buffalo meat has begun showing up in a few stores around here: it's pretty good, though a little dry for my taste - but nothing some mayonaise can't take care of.

DB - if you wrap it properly and sealed inside a zip back that's then surrounded by newspaper it should keep it from burning.

Peter - don't overcook the buffalo. That dries it out.

Omega's are good. I learned that when I got eczema as an adult and they put me on steroids. I researched the steriods and decided to go the natural route. I've pretty much got it under control and have been of those pills for over 5 years. Now, if I can just do something with the weight........................

Thanks, Wayne.

I bookmarked the website and will no doubt make an order this year.

The best food on earth is poached venison. I don’t mean you should poach it before eating it, the best way to prepare it is to barbecue it. By poached, I mean the critter should be harvested off posted land. The same goes for fishing. If you haven’t experienced the thrill of it, a hardcoverbook wouldn’t explain it properly.

DCJ I’ve got a secret for you on that Omega-3 concoction. Save your money.
Sardines are far cheaper and unlike those horrible capsules, they’re actually palatable....in a duckblind during the dead of winter anyway.

There are 3 different Beefaloe farms here in my area and one of the breeder/owners is a good friend who supplies me with some good jerky from time to time. Now I know why my ancestors hunted the buffalo so much ...

The secret to tasty buffalo meat is not to over cook it because it is so low in fat. When you cook a buffalo burger it is the same size after cooking as before you cook it. Which means you should cook them to medium or medium rare. Do not cook them medium well or well done or they will be too dry.

Remember this is not feedlot fattened, antiobiotic injected beef. This is grass fed, range raised buffalo, with no antibiotics. It has less fat and calories than skinless white chicken breast! And more beneficial Omega 3 fatty acids.

Wish I could get it in Florida. Makes my move to Colorado more urgent!!

Another cooking tip for Tasty Buffalo:

No Plastic Please...

April 29, 2005

Johns Hopkins has sent this out in its newsletter which is being circulated at Walter Reed Army Medical Center.

"Recently, Dr. Edward Fujimoto, Wellness Program manager at Castle Hospital, was on a TV program to explain this health hazard. He talked about dioxins and how bad they are for us. (Dioxin chemicals causes cancer, especially breast cancer; they are highlypoisonous to the cells of our bodies.) He said that we should not be heating our food in the microwave using plastic containers. This applies to foods that contain fat. He said that the combination of fat, high heat, and plastics releases dioxin into the food and ultimately into the cells of the body.

Instead, he recommends using glass, Corning Ware, or ceramic containers for heating food. You get the same results, only without the dioxin. So such things as TV dinners, instant ramen and soups, etc., should be removed from the container and heated in something else. Paper isn't bad but you don't know what is in the paper. It's just safer to use tempered glass, Corning Ware, etc. He reminded us that a while ago some of the fast food restaurants moved away from the foam containers to paper. The dioxin problem is one of the reasons.

Also, he pointed out that Saran wrap is just as dangerous when placed over foods to be cooked in the microwave. As the food is nuked, the high heat causes poisonous toxins to actually melt out of the plastic wrap and drip into the food. Cover food with a paper towel instead.

Also, don't freeze your plastic bottles with water in them as this releases dioxins from the plastic."

Summary:

* No plastic containers in micro.

* No plastic wrap in micro.

* No water bottles in freezer.

Wayne,

Try finding some longhorn beef. It's 95% fat free, right off the hoof. I raise longhorns. You are right about the cooking time though. The lack of fat cuts the cooking time by almost half. Just means that when I'm grilling burgers, I get to eat sooner!

You should be able to find longhorn a little easier than buffalo. They are a few more plentiful.

Good luck,
Rick

They sell Longhorn meat here in Houston at Randall's food stores. It is called Springer Hill Longhorn Lean. It is the best lean hamburger meat I have found anywhere. They also sell longhorn filet mignon steaks.
