    Bison is Buffalo... I get the extra lean ground at my local Sobeys. It is very good and good for you, low in fat high in iron. 100 g (1/2 cup) is just 120 calories

    I LOVE bison!! mmmmmmmmm
    does it taste like chicken? :laugh: sorry I only ask that because whenever you ask someone how something you've never tasted is they say... hm, it tastes like chicken!

    Deer meat is not really big here....we're in corn/cow country.....but I do see the buffalo roam in the park here...OK OK, let me NOT start any myths that we still have buffalo roaming in the Midwest....:laugh:

    They are set in a fenced in park atmosphere for folks to drive by and get out of the car and say...ewwww ahhhhhh oh so big......but I have noticed there are fewer than there used to be....

    none of YOU would know anything about that now would you?:huh:

    If I get the chance I will certainly look into trying some.... sounds like a nice healthy change from..........ahhhhhh um, chicken:wink::tongue:
