NoCalMike Posted July 6, 2005 Report 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.
Lord of The Curry Posted July 6, 2005 Author Report Posted July 6, 2005 Good call on them fuckin fajita's. I gots to do some of them up soon.
The Czech Republic Posted July 6, 2005 Report Posted July 6, 2005 On swordfish, I heard you're supposed to avoid it because the mercury content is too high or something.
Guest Brian Posted July 8, 2005 Report 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.

The Czech Republic Posted July 8, 2005 Report Posted July 8, 2005 But I think most fish are safe, it's just some that are a higher risk.
BruiserKC Posted July 12, 2005 Report Posted July 12, 2005 Grilled tuna steaks are great if you do seafood. Also, I highly recommend buffalo meat.
Lord of The Curry Posted July 12, 2005 Author Report Posted July 12, 2005 Buffalo, eh? My uncles are hunters and such so I've tried bear, deer, moose (mooseburgers are fabulous) and venison amongst other assorted stuff but not buffalo. Taste approximation?

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 Posted July 12, 2005 Report 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.
Crimson Platypus Posted July 12, 2005 Report Posted July 12, 2005 The best sloppy joes I ever had were made from venison. God that was like sex on a bun it was so good.
Lord of The Curry Posted July 12, 2005 Author Report Posted July 12, 2005 Good call on the sloppy joes, Agent. I'm trying to organize a gigantic Fajita-Fest soon. Anybody in the Greater Toronto Area is welcome.

Guest Agent of Oblivion Posted July 14, 2005 Report Posted July 14, 2005 Get a jalepeno Slim Jim. I've been eating the hell out of those lately.
Guest Agent of Oblivion Posted July 15, 2005 Report Posted July 15, 2005 Cook hotdogs over a big fire. That's always good. Alternately, do beer brats or some kind of polish sausage.
King Kamala Posted July 15, 2005 Report Posted July 15, 2005 Sausage lasagna is one my favorite meaty dishes.
Guest Frank_Nabbit Posted July 15, 2005 Report Posted July 15, 2005 Vension from a freshly processed deer. There is no greater flavor.
Guest Agent of Oblivion Posted July 16, 2005 Report Posted July 16, 2005 I think it's pretty overrated. It's got a smell to it that rubs me the wrong way, no matter how fresh. I can see why some folks swear by it, though.
EricMM Posted July 17, 2005 Report 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.
