Bison on the Menu: Is This OK? - GoFuckYourself.com

MediaGuy · 05-30-2012, 06:53 AM

I recently got a newsletter from my "local" grocer chain advertising "Bison on the Menu".

Now, though I'm not the sort to gripe about eating horse meat or anything like that because they're pretty (even dog meat), I wonder about eating Bison...

They're closer to cow than horses are, granted, but aren't they endangered? And yeah of course these are cultivated, is this the way the big noble beasts are going to survive, if we grow them to eat them?

The online pamphlet doesn't say if they're American Buffalo or Plains or the Euro-kind, but I still wonder if it's a decent/kind/ethical/whatever way to go...

But still, you know, Buffalo Chili just sounds so good lol....

:D

L-Pink · 05-30-2012, 06:56 AM

I have Bison burger once a week. Grass fed, hormone and steroid free. It's also very lean. Tastes like a perfect hamburger should. Use it for tacos, chile, spaghetti ..... $8 a pound but worth it.

.

FreeHugeMovies · 05-30-2012, 06:58 AM

Bison burgers are great

BAKO · 05-30-2012, 07:02 AM

I been eating bison beef for years. It's very lean and tastes the same as cow meat.

iSpyCams · 05-30-2012, 07:03 AM

Cows and Chickens would be long extinct if we didn't eat them, so save the Bison and have a burger.

AllAboutCams · 05-30-2012, 07:04 AM

never tried it

geedub · 05-30-2012, 07:05 AM

You would be eating a farmed animal that hasn't been endangered for years... Nothing wrong with that

Is it an useful animal? If so I wouldn't eat it...

HammerALL · 05-30-2012, 07:16 AM

Yep I've been eating bison for a few years now - burgers are great and lean.

Tom_PM · 05-30-2012, 07:16 AM

It's ok to have I think without any moral problems at this point. I just recently saw some show on PBS where more land had been set aside for the wild herds.

One rancher was also talking about how much better the meat was since it was naturally grass fed with no chemicals or hormones. Hard to argue with that.

Khesser · 05-30-2012, 07:18 AM

You gotta try the Bison prime rib, it's a great cut of meat, so lean and tender.

Bison for food and bison for wildlife are different. Farmers raise bison for the sole purpose of food, if you don't buy the food, they don't raise the food. Whether or not you purchase bison has no impact on the endangerment of the animal, unless you are buying from poachers that kill wild bison on reserves. And actually, purchasing bison to eat is probably good for bison as it creates awareness.

Of course, it could be completely different in Canada.

Choopa Phil · 05-30-2012, 07:22 AM

Love bison, its a great alternative to chop meat

Rebel D · 05-30-2012, 07:24 AM

Bison is Great. Ostrich is awesome as well.

Heard of Ostrich, but never saw it around here... I thought my chain grocery was getting weird and alternative when I saw HORSE the first time hah.

Ostrich... do you make it like chicken? Are the drumsticks enormous? :P

:D

Phoenix · 05-30-2012, 07:41 AM

i did a population model on bison back in undergrad, which i believe was then taken and expanded on by someone else and used as their own..lol
To be fair the model was actually on a bacteria called Brucelosis abortis, something like that anyway, it causes spontaneous abortions in cattle, and humans. So some cattle ranchers wanted to kill all the bison, as they carry it. So we were trying to model the spread of the disease.

anyway, bison tastes good

Evil Chris · 05-30-2012, 07:43 AM

I've also heard that bison is quite tasty although I've never tried it.

I did have caribou steak while in northern Norway many years ago. It was delicious.

suesheboy · 05-30-2012, 07:48 AM

Bison can be sustainability raised and ethically harvested and yes - it does taste great.

Any "factory farm" raised or corn feed meat is crappy for the environment, the animal and your health.

Long term goal is to raise them and elk on property I am going to purchase.

kristin · 05-30-2012, 08:43 AM

I've recently switched to bison and it is much leaner.

I read on the package it's illegal to give bison any hormones .... so there's a bonus.

Itchy · 05-30-2012, 09:12 AM

Yes, way better for you then beef!

fuzebox · 05-30-2012, 09:12 AM

One of my sales reps sent me a box of bison steaks for Christmas last year, they were great

Spunky · 05-30-2012, 09:17 AM

I've tried it a couple times,I thought it was very tasty

Yes it is - indians ate it, first colonist ate it.
Can't plough with it, can't milk it - but gives good meat and skin...
Pretty much like a cow, but a lot agresssive.

Joe Obenberger · 05-30-2012, 10:13 AM

All the comments above are true.

It tastes like a perfect hamburger when it's cooked right. It's lean and healthy. Nothing gamy at all in the taste.

There are over 20,000 -30,000 wild bison ranging in protected areas. There are an estimated 500,000 on commercial ranches.

The commercial bison comes from ranchers who raise it for market, starting from from Indiana and Wisconsin in the Midwest to all points west.

Anyone in the Chicago-Milwaukee corridor who's interested should stop at the Woodman supermarkets that carry a comprehensive selection of unusual and game meets, always with a big selection of bison steaks and ground meat.

candyflip · 05-30-2012, 10:22 AM

Bison burgers are fucking awesome.

SykkBoy · 05-30-2012, 10:27 AM

I fucking love bison....sort of a peppery flavored beef as the others in this thread have mentioned.

When I grew up in Wyoming as a kid, there was a guy who raised beefalo, a cow-buffalo hybrid and the meat was one of the best things I've ever eaten in my life.

It's not cheap, but because it's lean and not full of hormones, it goes further in a meal. I sometimes will substitute bison hamburger into a meatloaf and my family raves about it.

What should they be fed on? Considering corn is indigenous ...

Tom_PM · 05-30-2012, 10:36 AM

Grass fed! Their natural diet.

Bison is fantastic. Remember it's not wild any longer, this is all farmed.

u-Bob · 05-30-2012, 12:31 PM

never had it, but I'd eat it.

baddog · 05-30-2012, 12:45 PM

I have tried it a few times (not much choice if you are going to travel the high plains); it was okay, nothing special IMO.

:D

Ostrich and Emu are more like land base ducks like Moskovy. Very dark red meat, and you really don't want to cook the breast meat past medium rare. You actually treat it more like game meat, including the legs and thighs.

You should also try muskox, and elk.. both very tasty animals.

ture story... The US was going to be a BISON country instead of a BEEF country, but, cattle were more docile than buffalo and easier to raise/ranch.

Bison kept busting through the fences.

Even our forefathers knew buffalo was better than beef.
