Hmmm, tastes like chicken. I'm going to my brother's house tomorrow, in Albany. Get on google and show me which street to get on to find that fast food place that I can buy a buffalo buger with cheese and a garden salad for .40? Nope, not available, in Albany so I guess I will fill my tummy with a hamburger that will upset all the union guys, but it won't cost me much and it won't kill me. BIG DEAL!!!!! I eat where it's convenient and I will live as long as any of you!

You won't eat McDonalds and a bunch of you insist on BUY AMERICAN and GO UNION and you eat farmed fish. Most of you don't even know you are buying farmed fish, because it is labled MADE IN AMERICA!

I worked at the plant a plant in nebraska for a few years, that processed the beef into burger. Yes almost any burger you buy has a form of nondomestic meat in it. The meat from over seas comes boxed frozen solid in 60 pound cases. From new zeland, argentina, europe, and central america, they are added at about 20-28 percent versus fresh domesitc. That product went to walmart, iga, applebees, mcdonalds, hyvee, and a lot of small butcher shops, just to name a few. So if you don't kill it and grind it yourself, odds are you have eaten, "roo" meat as Buzz calls it.

Hay Buzz! You can buy grain finished
Elk steak, in about six miles of where
I sit right now. Or any other part of
a dead elk!

Come to think of it there is an elk farm in central Oregon, but I don't know if they are grain fed, I understand their market is selling antlers in velvet to Korea. Oooops, another export.

Hawkeye....you have to come to my place for dinner for that deal...LOL. Between buffalo hunting, a big garden and a wife that bakes our bread...looks after all the needs. No sodas..but there is always a keg on tap in the beer fridge.

Same deal on egg Mcmuffin...LOL....but the eggs are also produced on the "homestead" and are organic. Pancakes...we cheat there...Snoqualmie Lodge pancake mix. Best pancakes I've ever eaten. Cost on those is extremely reasonable as well.

My whole point...if you want something done right...you end up doing it yourself.

I can't afford to do much buffalo hunting, my annual elk hunting trip puts a big enough dent in an already thin wallet, and I don't have enough room on the deck of my boat for a garden1 . But I will take you up on that breakfast offer some day and I will bring fresh, organic ling cod fillets and crab! Love those farm fresh eggs with bright orange yolks, not the pale yellow yolks like those grocery store eggs. When we had the place in the country I had red rocks and barred rocks, New Zealand and Flemish giant rabbits, among others and whatever hog or goat I could pick up at the auction real cheap. I raised beets and turnips (mostly for the greens) Yukon Gold spuds, I raise spuds, I buy potatoes at he grocery store, squash, onions, my own herbs.
