NoCalMike 0 Report post Posted July 6, 2005 Flank steak is a good quality meat that you can get a relatively large amount for a good price. It is usually 2 pounds per pack and it is folded in half so when you take it out of the pack and unfold it is about 8"-10" x 6" Also you can do a lot with it like cut it up for fajitas or shiskabobs, or just throw the entire slab on the grill and cut it into three pieces, also it marinades very well.

Guest Brian Report post Posted July 8, 2005 On swordfish, I heard you're supposed to avoid it because the mercury content is too high or something. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Just eat in moderation. It's hard to get usually and I think it's pretty pricey. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Taste approximation? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Game is hard to describe, and a lot of people are just naturally turned off by it. Buffalo is close to beef, but it's also leaner so you have to be careful with how you cook it. They used to sell bear in Aberdeen but it's been close to fifteen years since I've had it.

Guest Agent of Oblivion Report post Posted July 12, 2005 Venison is deer. I've eaten plenty throughout my life, but it's not my favorite. I've never had bear, and I'd probably only eat it if I killed it. You should make yourself some sloppy joes, fella. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

EricMM 0 Report post Posted July 17, 2005 The mercury in fish gets worse the bigger the fish is (unless you're talking about a plant eater like a whale) because mercury is concentrated the higher you go in the food chain. For example, "Light" tuna is better for you, mercury wise, than "albacore" because the fish are a lot smaller. Ergo, they've eaten less and smaller fish, ergo less mecury.
