Mmmmmm lunch...Smoked Ostrich Breast, Brown Rice and Green Beans

[Taverner]

YUM!

What did you have for lunch?

[Sannum]

1. I am having a chicken-salad

with grapes and water crackers with a bottle of water. And a Twix.

[Shell Beau]

2. Most of that sounds good. All

but the breast of an ostrich! Wouldn't that be a big piece of meat?

[Taverner]

3. It's actually a filet

Not the whole breast, but a nice 4x4 chunk I grilled yesterday.

I do loves me some ostrich!

[Sannum]

4. I have never had ostrich

I do know from experience that they are mean as hell!

[Taverner]

6. well I have no idea of their disposition

But if you ever have to quit eating beef, Ostrich is your alternative.

Most cuts taste like sirloin beef, very low in fat and dark and rich.

No gamey taste either....

[Sannum]

9. I will have to try it

I am not really big on red meat unless I am feeling tired and anemic. I eat fish or chicken, but I do love duck as well, so I am not totally objecting to eating other sorts of animals:P.

So shoot me. I believe in the food chain:eyes:

[Shell Beau]

5. I prefer to stick to the basics:

cow, pig, and chicken. That is just me though.

7. Ham and swiss on a croissant.

Yours is even yuppier though. :P

10. Hey what can I say?

I'm a California Prius-driving, Kerry-voting, Baby-raising Yuppie!

8. Ostrich is exquisite

and really healthy for you. It has all the right kinds of fats.

I get the ground stuff (slightly cheaper)

Marinate it in ginger soy (my elixer)

Sautee a bunch of garlic and onions.

Dice and marinate some portobella mushrooms in balsamic vinegar for about an hour and sautee.

Then I fry up the meat, mix everything together, and serve with home made apple sauce, wild rice and salad.

Yummmmmmmm

[Taverner]

11. I'll try that, but its good as a burger on its own

Just like a sirloin burger...only less fatty and more flavorful

Red Onion
Yellow Squash
Green Bellpepper
Mushrooms
Pineapple
