I have never tried any other type of Bison meat (bison steaks, cold cuts, etc) before today. Any advice on bison meat such as where the best place to buy it is, how to prepare and cook it, and what compliaments it? I live in Saskatoon so if anyone knows of any local spots that sell great bison meat, that would be fantastic. cheers, amit Sat May 14 20:40:04 -0700 2005 0 amit 1 586128 you can buy all sorts of game meats at Hill's Foods in Coquitlam, www.hillsfoods.com Sun May 15 14:13:17 -0700 2005 586117 0 bruce 2 586131 The OP clearly said he lives in S'toon.

There is an organic type market chain, Whole Foods, in the States that sells frozen ground bison in pound packages. Now I'm not recommending prepared bison patties shaped like hamburger. What you do is gently mix the ground bison with a little egg, break soaked in water or milk, and mix. Shape into patties, and pan saute in medium heat. Do not overcook. You may never want to eat beef hamburger again. Low cholesterol, low fat, low calory; mucho flavor. I have also cooked bison tongue, which I find to be far superior to beef tongue. My daughter is a bison distributor in Lakewood, N. J, so I sometimes can get other cuts of bison when I visit her. Tue May 24 09:15:26 -0700 2005 586117 0 Bashful3 2 586220 I left out the "how". In general, bison is cooked at a lower flame, and for a shorter period than a similar cut of beef. Overcooking will make it tough and dry. Tue May 24 12:40:11 -0700 2005 586215 0 Bashful3
