Any Meat Eaters on this board?

Moose is delicious. My Sgt. is an avid hunter and went to Canada to get a moose and gave me a couple pounds, tasty tasty. He also gave me orix and wild boar. Orix was great, boar was ok. Buffalo burgers are alright, heard so much about how great buffalo is but I wasn't too impressed.

Best burger I ever had was a kobe beef burger in Vegas.

Wanna try bear.

I've never tried buffalo because I heard it was extremely lean, and I've never liked moose for exactly that reason. Again, though, probably how it was cooked.

Kobe beef is amazing. I've only had it on hors d'oeuvres at a wedding though, because, you know, I'm poor.

I won't eat bear either. Predator animal. To me that's like eating a tiger or a wolf.

I'm poor too. I think Texas Roadhouse steaks are amazing. I'd never pay $50+ for a steak.

I had a buffalo steak once and it was juicy and tangy. It was much leaner than most sirloin. It was a rather different experience. I believe it is less unhealthy than beef.

A study recently funded by the British Heart Foundation has really put the fat in the pan and made it sizzle. Having pooled the results of 72 previous studies, researchers found that although trans fats increase the risk of heart disease, they could find no significant evidence that eating saturated fats does.

Why is eating a predator animal different than eating a non-predator? I've had fried gator ... which is a predator. I've heard of people eating shark, though I never have. Never had bear, or tiger, or wolf -- but, given the opportunity, I don't imagine I'd pass.



I've had a Kobe burger. Good. Its essentially meat from a really pampered Japanese cow.

I get most of my restaurant steaks from Outback, Saltgrass or Longhorn. Good steaks. $30 or less, so not horrifically expensive given that I tend toward the biggest one they've got. We save the $50+ steakhouses for special occasions a few times a year. I want to eat steaks much more often than that, though.

The Taste of Texas (https://tasteoftexas.com/) is our favorite high end steakhouse. Ruth's Chris, Perry's, Shula's, etc. are all really good, though. Always bothered me that Ruth's Chris couldn't manage to throw in the baked potato for free when you've just bought a $60 steak, though. Seems bizarre to upcharge for normal sides at a high-end joint like that.

Its leaner than most beef ... though probably not really lean cuts like filets. Saturated fat isn't at all as unhealthy as people think, though.

I doubt any of you would eat dog, cat or rats like other countries do.

It makes no real sense to me that humans would eat a pig, for example, but not a dog.

Presumably because they're 'friends'. But we'll let them be locked up in a pound, euthanised or suffer in the streets.

So many insects around that are a nutritious food source also - but we can't move past the 'ick' factor.

No way would I eat a bug unless I had to. You do what you have to do to survive, but until then. No. Texture alone....No!

I think rats are taboo because of all the diseases they can carry. Though if raised for food, that wouldn't be the case.

Dogs, cats and horses too are a no no to me.

I don't think they would've been gooey though - all those things are so heavily fried and heavily salted they're kind of like potato chips.
