Mark....did you think the bison burgers had a taste ?: Maybe we got some that was different in some way...I can't remember the label but it was some big buffalo ranch and processor from out west in a specialty packed pack.

Fat = taste. Bison is low fat.

Well there ya have it....you are exactly right...right in front of me...I will tell the Mrs. - makes me feel foolish...I should have thought of that...maybe it could have been the very fine grind of the bison...it was almost like a slurry..and the ground beef we buy is 90% lean but a coarser grind..so maybe a combination and a difference in taste of fats...

OK ---maybe that is why ours had no taste....I told my wife I was only going to put salt and pepper on the bison burger so we could get the taste...maybe with the peppers and onions it would be different but when we make hamburgers we only put salt, pepper...and then we use mayonnaise or mustard and cheese but we did that with the bison as well....Coastal Georgia is the same way with that hot water problem...must be the temps and water table...here in our part of Ga. with a deep drilled well our water is cold...

Good tasty cuts of beef always have alot of marbling whereas bison is a very lean cut of meat with no marbling

Thanks,Bob! Yeah,I use it to control my weight,although I have only once reached as low a weight as I'd like. Still,it is a `dead bang'treatment for adult onset diabetes,which a lot of my friends utilize it for. don-ohio

Not all ground Bison is created equal. If you have had a bad experience you may want to try again.

The Wife just made a pot of white chicken chili!

It was her first attempt and turned out fantastic. Glad she wrote the recipe down.

Warmed me up on a 30* day!

Made me a 4 quart crock pot of beefy goo-lash today: Combine 2 pounds of browned and drained ground chuck, a 28 oz. can of diced tomatoes, 20 oz. of frozen diced hash browns, a 8 oz. can of tomato sauce, 8 ounces of V8 juice, a large peeled and chopped onion, and two minced garlic cloves. Stir to mix everything, then cook on low setting for 6-8 hours and when serving top with your favorite shredded cheese. Goes great by itself, or over any type of cooked rice or small pasta.

I read a book back in 2001, I know it was 2001 because I used the receipt as a book marker :laughing: , called "The Omega Diet" by Artemis P. Simopoulos MD. She mentions the Inuit Paradox as well as others. She mentioned that animals that naturally graze for their food have a healthy ration of Omega 3 and 6, where as animals fed grain, do not have a healthy ratio. The theory is that there is more bad Omega 6 in the meat of an animal that is grain fed compared to grass, grub, bug, fed.

I scrambled fresh eggs from our chickens this morning with some chives growing in our yard. YUM! :licking::licking::licking: Our chickens are fed grain, :shocked:, but it is supposed to be a mix that balances the Omega's AND the chickens do get to free range. Not much to free range at the moment though except kitchen scraps but soon they will have lots of green stuff to eat. :laughing: Last year we tried to grow some plants for the chickens to forage on but we started too late and the seeds did not take. Hopefully this year will be better.

Later,

Dan here is another fact about meat, not yours, the other kind of "factory" meat. (The source is the meat companies.)

One thing to keep in mind whenever it is mentioned about the Inuit people (who eat mostly whale blubber and no veggies/fiber) and their lack of dying from cardio vascular disease is their lifespan. It is considerable shorter than other people in Canada. in 2001 the lifespan for Inuit men was 63, for other Canadian men it was 77. So what do they die of?
