I've had buffalo. It's like very lean beef, somewhat similar to venison (if that helps), especially if it's ground.

All I can say is try it -- I'll always encourage anyone to try a new food. Even if it's not to your liking, it's only one meal. Make eating an adventure! [img]smile.gif[/img]

Buffalo is great. It's the only red meat I eat now. Honestly, you can't taste the difference between it and beef. It's really lean so when you grill it, make sure not the overcook it or else it will turn out dry.

I bought some ostrich the other day too, but I haven't made it yet. I'll let you know how it turns out.

I've had both. They were both good, but I didn't think they were good enough to pay the difference again.

Buffalo is pretty healthy, I've heard. Lean and what fat it has is higher in Omega-3s. Again, so I've heard.

I don't know that ostrich is any better for you than turkey or chicken. Tastes good, though.

Ostrich is tough to do well, I find. It's SO lean that it dries out far too quickly. I'd say if you were going to have ostrich, you'd have to put it in a stew or something; as opposed to simply having a piece of it.

Yea, it is reallly lean. I was looking on the label of the ostrich I have in the fridge, and it has only 1g of fat per serving! Not bad considering 36g of protein...now that's a powerful bird, hehe.

Can you eat ostrich meat rare or medium to help avoid overcooking? Or does it need to be cooked thoroughly like poultry??

The only "bird meat" I've ever eaten less than completely well done was duck, and I was completely repulsed.
