Thank you and Nude Yorker! btw, what is "bouquet garni"?
A bouquet garni of herbs and spices is for seasoning stew or soup.The herbs are tied together or into a cheesecloth bag for easy removal.

Bouquet Garni
1 teaspoon dried parsley
1 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
1 1/4 teaspoon dried marjoram
1/2 teaspoon sage
1/2 teaspoon dried savory
1/4 teaspoon crumbled dry bay leaf
1 1/2 teaspoons celery seed
5 peppercorns
Crush together the herbs and spices. Pace into a small bag made from several layers of cheesecloth. Tightly tie the bag shut with string.
Add the garni while simmering the ingredients for any soup. Take out before serving and discard.
Makes 1 bouquet
 
I voted for Beef because it was the closest option to Bison. I use it in my chili all the time, I love it!

Theres no Buffalo!

Buffalo Meat is the highest in protein and lowest in fat content :'(

I had some bison last year when I was visiting Yellowstone. It tasted much like roast beef. Aside from that experience, not a lot of opportunities to eat bison/buffalo around here.

You can also buy pre-prepared dried versions in the spice aisle of your supermarket - or at least, you can here. Or you can make it using fresh herbs, but it's more expensive if you don't grow your own.
 
If Hick was here, I'm sure he'd vote for Pork, stuffed with meat.

I'm a fish man, raw or cooked.

Though being Welsh, Mutton holds a special place in my heart, tenderised of course.

Lots of bison for sale in WI and MN. It is a leaner beef experience. I consider it beefier than beef. The fat is more like venison fat and less abundant. Even mutton isn't as flavorful.
 
Lamb is young mutton, and veal is young beef. I do not see why eating one and not the other is a protest of any kind.:confused:
Producing veal is considered as cruel as producing foie gras, as it involves force feeding the animal into an unhealthy state before slaughter. In the case of veal the excess calf borne by a milk cow to get her to produce milk is raised on nothing but milk and not allowed to exercise until it is very anemic which gives the meat its pale color.

You forgot to note that they are normally the bull calves because the heifers are raised for milking stock. My Grandparents owned a dairy farm so we considered veal a treat. Sorry

Well, it does save the effort of gelding the males. I had a dairy farming set of grandparents too.

That doesn't apply to Australian veal. Eating veal here is no more cruel than eating any other meat.
