Ground Bison vs. Ground Beef : Is bison really better? Has CONAGRA infiltrated this industry yet?
- stuck in Hartford County May 18, 2010 03:48 PM
Lately, I've been substituting ground bison for ground beef when cooking for our family. The kids don't seem notice any difference. "Experts agree" that it's better for you, so I've been buying the convenient 1 lb. packages of ground bison in the meat section.
Here's my big question: Am I fooling myself? I do realize that ground meat isn't that great for you, but several of our family favorites call for 1 lb of ground beef, and I THINK buffalo is a healthier choice. Or am I wrong? If I can buy it at Super Stop & Shop, it must be mass-produced. And that means CONAGRA LURKS SOMEWHERE IN ITS HISTORY. I'm not a fan of Conagra (and similar conglomerates).
Does anyone know more?
I think most of the 'bison is healthier' belief comes from the lower fat content of equal sized portions.
It's more lean, if that's something you want, to me it has so much less flavor. So far I haven't heard Bison and Conagra mentioned together, probably not enough of a market yet. They make a lot of product but not everything in the world. Yet.
It's leaner and has more iron per unit weight than ground beef. Some ground bison is available in supermarkets, but as coll mentioned, the market isn't big enough for the conglomerates to have jumped in. I suppose they could be somewhere along the bison food chain, but look for grassfed bison (I'm honestly not aware of any feedlot bison, but that doesn't mean it doesn't exist). The bison I've purchased has been local and grassfed and its flavor has been very good.
I have wondered if the quality of bison comes from the fact that they are free-range, browsing animals? Are they, or will they be raised and slaughtered using the same methods that have hurt the quality of beef? I don't know.
I buy grass fed beef from a couple of local ranchers. Because the beef is fed their natural diet, they produce a healthier mix of fatty acids and don't need to be fed antibiotics. The product is also naturally leaner. These cattle do not spend most of their life ankle-deep in fecal material, like corn-fed feedlot-raised cattle, so, harmful bacteria is also less of a problem. This beef is more expensive, and a bit dry, due to the lower fat content, but, probably as good or better than your supermarket bison, in many ways.
Edit: I noticed one of your local bison producers feeds corn. I'm not sure what to think of that.
Yes, Bison is better for you than beef - see attached nutritional chart. Bison has less fat, calories & cholesterol compared to beef, chicken, pork and salmon. Plus, it has more iron - so is great for women. You can check out a full nutrtional chart at: http://www.americangourmet.net/americ...
And, no Conagra has not stepped in. At this point, I believe all bison sold in the US comes from private ranches across the US.
re: bethgal
I believe you are correct about the bison source, private ranchers. Unfortunately, it may be just a matter of time; when bison consumption becomes more mainstream, Conagra or the other major meat packers in the US, Swift, Cargill or even Tyson, may buy out smaller producers for their red meat industry.
re: bethgal
This is true when averaged over the whole animal. However, you can buy (or make) very lean ground beef that is leaner than most commercially prepared ground bison.
It is leaner than 80/20 ground beef, sure. I've bought it a few times, but haven't been won over by the taste. That said, ostrich burgers are pretty good, considering.
We recently made buffalo meatloaf and really liked it. It had a more pronounced beef flavor.
In addition, Buffalos are not only interesting because of their history but also for its unique meat quality. They contain less calories, fat and cholesterol than beef, pork or chicken. And at the same time more iron and vitamin B12 than its "competitors". In addition, their environmental factor is also favorable compared to commercial beef since they are generally grass-fed, require less water and are also less prone to illness which means they need hardly any antibiotics
re: honkman
Gio's Bison-Chipotle Meatloaf is fantastic http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/5268...
re: The Dairy Queen
+1 for Gio's Chipotle meatloaf...very very good! Though I'm eating meat from 4-legged animals less and less, when I want a grilled burger, ground buffalo is what I choose.
We've been buying ground bison for years, ever since we first noticed it in our local market, a small New England chain. We like the flavor better than beef which we stopped eating when DH had a triple by-pass. As people up-thread have mentioned the fewer calories, less fat and cholesterol and more vitamins are definitely a plus. The bison we buy comes from a ranch in the mid-west where the animals roam free and have no added antubiotics or anything else.
I was all psyched up when Wegmans started selling ground bison and bison sirloin steaks, assuming that they must be free-range, humanely raised, grass-fed, bladiblablabla.
Their website (can't remember the brand name now, probably great range buffalo or something) mentions nothing of free-range, and I've heard that they are "finished" with grains. Which means feedlots in my book.
Guess I'll have to stick to local farmers and their beef...
re: linguafood
I have seen grain finished bison (at Trader Joes), but most of the bison brands I have seen are entirely grass fed. As far as I know, grain finished bison is labeled as such. I'm not a fan of bison steaks, to me they are tasteless. I'd rather have grass fed beef. However, I've used ground bison lots of times for meat sauces, picadillo, etc and find it as good as beef in those dishes. Sorry, healthful or not, ground turkey just can't cut it.
re: EricMM
I really like the ground bison for burgers. Despite their leanness, I find them to be very flavorful, especially at med-rare.
And I'll try to find out more about the bison at Wegmans. Peace of mind is a nice thing.

Join Tim Harcourt - the airport economist - as he travels the globe in chase of the whys and wherefores of Australian international business success and unravels the economic life of the many countries he visits. He talks to business leaders, entrepreneurs, workers, government officials, academics, farmers and even a celebrity or two to uncover the world of export beyond economic text books and financial spreadsheets. He even manages to interview Megan Gale in Milan, watch Sachin Tendulkar build an innings in Mumbai and dodge swarms of motorcycles in Asia's newest tiger, Vietnam, all for the sake of research, of course.
With a clever turn of phrase, witty observations, and the grunt of supporting data, The Airport Economist proves that there is an export dimension to almost everything and that not all economics writing has to leave you high and dry.less

That don't make you no thug cause you from the hood Sticky Fingaz – Come On
Where they devour kids Hieroglyphics (Ft. Goapele) – Soweto
Blastin' off, castin' off
The ties that bind like a smashed guitar Blackalicious – Do This My Way
I strongly disagree with that. Listened to this song many times, he very clearly puts emphasis on the A in Asian.
seems to me that he is saying that while he sometimes tells things that aren't true, there are other meanings hidden in his words, true meanings that others may not always be able to comprehend.
Also, this is yet another example of wayne making use of his favourite recurring theme, duality, especially the interplay between good and evil within himself. He has painted the man in the mirror so to speak as his true and most viscious rival, the darkest inner core of himself that both made him strong enough to seize the good life he always wanted, and threatens him with the looming possibility of self destruction.
Also, for the line swallow the truth, I took that to mean that once he eats the catastrophe, getting rid of whoever was causing him problems, he will also destroy any evidence of his involvement, or of the event itself. Like it never even happened.
I am fairly certain that lyric should be "Meet a disaster, pity the fool." Meaning that when a problem appears before him, he has no fear, but rather feels pity for it, because he knows what's going to happen to it.
paganism was a belief system worshiping nature, and the god of nature, pan the faun, and was used as a by word for all unchristian worship after the rise of the church, demonized because of pan's goatlike features, as the goat is associated with Satan in Christianity.
He uses the term pagan as a blanket term both here and throughout the song for any god or divine figure outside of christ and the father, so when he refers to pagan gods in this line, the reference is to the norse gods listed, because to him they still qualify as pagan.
Actually,the use of x mas goes back far into hystory, with early versions of the term dated to 1100 bc. In greek, the first letter of christ it x. In addition, an x stylized to look like a fish by early christians as sort of a code. Buildings marked with fish were secret meeting places, the signfigance being that the greek spelling of the latin word for fish, icthys, is an acronym standing for jesus christ, god's sun, savior.
I am pretty sure this line is pushin more weight than atlas, who was the titan charged with holding up the heavens for all eternity for his part in rebellion against the gods.
As a habitual womanizer, wayne finds it hard to adjust his behavior to suit his feelings for this woman, which are much stronger than usual for him.Hense I don't really know how to handle this shit.

Former Bad Boy Records artist Trevell "G. Dep" Coleman has faced the music and announced a "not guilty" plea yesterday (January 13) for his role in the fatal shooting of a man in 1993.
According to reports, the "Deputy" appeared in a New York courtroom Thursday.
Mr. Coleman, his hands cuffed behind his back, didn't speak at the arraignment other than to enter his plea. He smiled at the dozen or so supporters he had in the courtroom as he walked in. After the hearing, his lawyer, Anthony Ricco, said Mr. Coleman still stands by his earlier story that he shot Mr. John Henkel Oct. 19, 1993. Mr. Ricco said the not-guilty plea was more of a procedural step, adding that it would allow him time to examine Mr. Coleman's confession, which he said was likely made while under the influence of drugs. "We want to make sure what we're dealing with the reality of what actually happened that night," he said, explaining that Mr. Coleman has struggled with PCP use over the years. Mr. Ricco said he expects to reach a plea deal with the district attorney's office. (Wall Street Journal)
Last week, Dep's camp reached out to fans and supporters alike to vouch for the rapper's positive influence.
G. Dep is currently in Manhattan's Detention Complex as he awaits legal action in his murder case, but in the meantime, his lawyer and support system is asking people to help them build their case. "To those whom have had any contact with Trevell "G. Dep" Coleman; relatives friends, neighbors music industry representatives and artists, we ask that you consider writing a letter describing his positive character," said the Deputy's DJ/producer/co-manager Justin "DJ M-80″ Bryd. "Typed letters can be emailed to email@example.com- fans we also need your support!! This would be a vital and positive influence on his case. Thank You." (XXL Mag)
A few weeks ago, Dep admitted to being the shooter behind the 1993 murder.
Apparently when Trevell Coleman, AKA rapper G-Dep, came clean to police about shooting a man in the chest in 1993, he may not have known that he was confessing to killing a guy. He told thePost in a jailhouse interview, "I was surprised — for some reason, I really didn't think that he died. When they told me, I was like, 'Oh, I'm not going home after this.'" He has now been charged with murder, and faces life in prison. Coleman says he didn't think much of the shooting at the time, but "started to wonder if all the bad things that happened to me in my life were karma for what I did…I thought that if I turned myself in, it might give me closure." So despite the objections of his mother and his girlfriend, he told the police. Now he says, "The only thing I regret is that I have to leave my kids." (Gothamist)
He was later indicted and still faces 25 years behind bars.
A rapper who turned himself in to police for a 1993 fatal shooting in East Harlem — apparently to clear his guilty conscience — was indicted on a second-degree murder charge Tuesday. The rapper G-Dep, whose real name is Trevell Coleman, admitted to shooting John Henkel at East 114th Street and Park Avenue when he was 18 years old on Oct. 19, 1993, his lawyer said. He is next schedule to appear in court on Jan. 13. He faces 25 years to life in prison if convicted. (DNA Info)
G. Dep is due back in court February 10th.

The ability to get this caliber of chinese food delivered to your home is Manhattan at its most magical. Like other branches of this quasi-chain, the sichuan dishes are excellent and the american-chinese favorites come with extra "authentic" flair. However, delivery guys have developed a habit of indignantly demanding a larger tip regardless of the initial amount offered (e.g. $5 on $25 bill). I'm all for supporting delivery guys but it is annoying to have to prepare for an argument everytime they ring up.

I've eaten here a couple of times and have always had great service. At work, a couple of us order from here at least once a week- they have good lunch specials and I LOVE the Orange Flavored Chicken. Definitely recommend this place!!

I ordered food but they wanted to know how much i would tip the delivery person before they even delivered. Upon questioning them they said they need to know.

The pork dumplings are always a hit, and we usually order the spicy Dan Dan noodles which get that sweat going. The Gui Zhou spicy chicken is my favorite dish, and made with an incredible number of hot szechuan red peppers—just be careful to avoid them, and szechuan peppercorns which produce that nice tingly sensation in your mouth. There is also a great diced chicken with spicy green peppers. And, the chow fun is also well prepared. The spicing can be a bit varied, so let them know your preference.

I order from here all the time and am almost always pleased with what I get. The Dan Dan noodles, sliced pork with garlic sauce, Double Cooked Pork, Gui Zhou spicy chicken, sauteed baby lamb (this seriously rocks) and dried sauteed beans with chicken are just some of my favorite dishes. Surprise, surprise, they make Sichuan dishes the best, but most of their dishes are pretty decent. My only complaint is the service: the noise is so loud in the background that the woman on the phone can hardly hear your order and when she does hear you, she treats you very brusquely. But once you get the food, it's all worth it, especially the Dan Dan noodles!

first time i had it - great! second time, same dish. tasted funny - soggy, undercooked. guess i wont be going back to this place for lunch. wouldn't recommend anymore.

Much will be written about Lou Reed, the iconic rock musician, singer and songwriter who passed away yesterday. Rather than eulogize the man and his art, I'll refer you to the New York Times' obituary, then write a few of my own thoughts and experiences.

My Favorite Movie Scenes and Set Pieces
When watching a movie, nothing make me happier than seeing a well-executed scene or set piece. With that in mind, I've decided to post movie scenes that either gave me chills, made my heart race, or made things a little dusty. You'll notice most of these clips involve a really good soundtrack.
A couple of parameters though. I tried to avoid any iconic scenes ("You can't handle the truth!") or climactic endings. Additionally, I'm no movie technician so I can't really break down any of these scenes from any other point of view than that of a fan. Continue reading
Review: Captain Phillips
What can be said about Captain Phillips? Well, for a start, it's directed by Paul Greengrass; the man behind gut-punch 9/11 docu-drama United 93. It stars every man's favourite every man, Tom Hanks, and it is based on a true story. One so high profile, I'd wager that 90% of those who watch the film will already know the ending. So how on Earth, even with such widely chronicled details of the event, does Captain Phillips manage to remain so bloody tense and stressful until the final credits!?

How are you discovering new music?
Maybe you've read the article David Byrne wrote for the Guardian about how the Internet will suck all creative content out of the world. I'm not sure I agree with him. I think creativity can be really enhanced by the Internet. I think creativity will take new forms because of the Internet. The old model of the music industry obviously no longer applies. But there are artists like Macklemore and The Weeknd using the Internet to reach audiences. I think in general, the Internet has made audiences much smaller–there's so much content out there now. But is that a good or a bad thing?
David Byrne is down on Spotify, and I don't blame him. But I use it to listen to music these days, for one reason–it makes it really easy to find new bands. Not only does it recommend bands to me based on what I've already listened to, but I can follow my friends and even music artists to see what they've been listening to. You can share playlists with people. There's probably more it can do that I haven't figured out yet.
