My butcher has gotten buffalo cuts in FINALLY. Been over a month. Same with
whole foods, not a store had any!

I can never find any. I can, however, buy bison all over the
place. Buffalo, is water buffalo. From Asia.

Bison has been referred to as buffalo forever in TX and in the west. Whole
Foods has buffalo/bison that comes from the Denver area and it is labeled
as buffalo on the box it comes in and on the individual package.

My butcher supplies D'Artagnan free-range buffalo cuts. Product of Canada.
http://www.tinypic.com/4yz2yv5.jpg

Free-range taste rich and with a flavor unlike regular beef. No hormones,
or antibiotics, etc. Have yourself a bloody rare burger without fear of e-
coli or lysteria.

Carmen Creek, a frozen buffalo burg supplier for Whole Foods underwent a
system change. Instead of fresh shaped burgers in 3-burger x 2 stacks
cryopacks, they now fast freeze each burger separately with the typical
paper separator in a non cryovack 3-burger x 2 stack bag. Doesn't resemble
the original product and some flavor is lost. I'll do more business with my
butcher for the fresh ground meat packs and press my own burgs.

Whole foods in Austin has it fresh. It is good stuff. sWertz is correct
that water buffalo is "buffalo" the other critter we commonly refer to as
buffalo is bison. WF has buffalo/bison NY strips, rib eyes, ground and I
think they also have tenderloin. Here in the hill country of Texas no one
will be ordering up water buffalo..if they do they will get bison. Enjoy!

And people think Miracle Whip is mayonnaise, too. That doesn't
make it right.

I'm well aware what is common usage, but there are drastic
differences (tastewise and phisiologically) between the American
buffalo - Bison, and real buffalo from Asia).

Cod, Red, Snapper, Sea Bass, Lobster... Are all just vague terms
used to pass off inferior and less-expensive products because of
naming confusions.

Steve,

I use a cheap-o hamburger press to shape burgers. Once they're cooking, I
don't spatula-press the meat down. I think that's what he meant.

My buffalo burgers are once-flipped and plump, rare and juicy!

Central Market South sells fresh bison steaks for cheaper than WF.
I hate WF more than you hate CM.

If you go to a crappy HEB like the one at the Y in Oak Hill the prices are
less than if you go to the Escarpment HEB for the exact same item. HEB
profits must be off the charts..farther off the charts than Exxon. In fact
I think Exxon owns HEB. They are raising prices daily. I am adding them
to the HATE list. I am headed to look in the phone book to see if we have
a Piggly Wiggly. ~(:-|

I was trying to explain this to someone in austin.general
yesterday. He used to work there and insists the prices are the
same at all HEB's.

I find the Slaughter HEB is a OK balance between the Third-World
HEB's (Congress, Rundberg, or First Streets) and the upscale HEB's
(Escarpment, 2222, Parmer/I35).

Actually the bison (No. American bovid) is also a buffalo in that it's
simply a different genus of bovid.

M-W

1buf�fa�lo

1 : any of several wild bovids: as a : WATER BUFFALO b : CAPE BUFFALO
c (1) : any of a genus (Bison) of bovids ; especially : a large shaggy-
maned No. American bovid (B. bison) that has short horns and heavy
forequarters with a large muscular hump and that was formerly abundant
on the central and western plains -- compare WISENT (2) : the flesh of
the buffalo used as food

That all changed this morning. I picked up buffalo medallions, rib eyes,
ground meat and frozen burgers.

It feels great to be back in buffalo!!!

So you're Buffaloed now?

I've eaten Buffalo burgers exactly once. Big disappointment.

I ordered the buffalo stew at a fancy Winnipeg eatery, first and last
time.

Try some at home. I have cooked it many times and in different dishes and
it has always been good. The pre ground stuff.. who knows what they put in
it.. but we have available many fresh cuts and it is good stuff. Perhaps it
is not worth the $$ but sometimes we splurge.
