@jack-dodds I read about that - Seems there was a big stink about that bait-and-switch deal. The old giraffe switcheroo! Ya pay long-neck prices and they substitute gazelle's, impalas, box turtles or hamsters! It all depended on the buyer's perceived eyesight.
If they thought you didn't have great vision, they were even said to have supplied mice and gerbils instead of Geeraffs!

Well with all that said Tony, I guess it could be a lot worse than the food budget drain caused by this little popcorn vacuum!

@perrone1 ........getchoo a handful of those big tractors hooked up to a couple of those goomers.......put in some late onions
Ewww, onion sets - you bet! And some more sweet corn.
Onions seems such a common crop.....these classy kids grow only shallots.
Ewww; I love shallots. Sauteed in butter and mini-Portabella's and served atop of Bison Burger grilled to medium rare. No bun, thank you, just a touch of melted smoked Gruyere - O M G !!!!
@perrone1 How can you possibly eat something as cute as a bison?! This little fella should be curled up at your feet in the family room watching TV Tony....not on your barbecue.

Oh, I recognize him - that's Bilbo Bison, offspring of Baggins Bison out of Bertha Baggins (nee) Bertha Bronson. Nooooo, I couldn't eat that lovable lil critter; he's far too cute and cuddly. I buy from Wild Idea with the proviso that they send my 'eatings' sans photographs:
@perrone1 Tony; in your experience, what is the reason you choose bison over beef? I've only had it twice in ground form as a burger but found it a bit dry in comparison.

Bison is very lean compared to beef, much less fat so it can be drier if not cooked a little differently than beef. To ground bison I would add egg and a touch of olive oil. That will make the difference.
My preference to bison is just a personal taste thing. It's arguably healthier than beef, has no preservatives or additives and comes from free-grazing herds, not fed fillers and fatteners.
We stayed at the "Inn On The Biltmore Estate" for Shirl's 60th and again for her 65th birthday. (the last stay was 10 years ago) On both occasions we ate each night at their exclusive Dining Room Restaurant. The meals were exquisite. On our second visit they had a three-night special Bison Extravaganza. The advertised fare was Bison Three Ways. Two of which were items I swore never to eat.
Shirl and I had taken a trip to The Baltic Sea for nearly three weeks back in 1990. We spent time in Copenhagen, Denmark, Stockholm, Sweden, Leningrad (still, at that time, Communist) Russia, Helsinki, Finland, Visby & Gotland Island, Sweden. I doubted we would ever get there again so I was determined to try everything they served us. Reindeer, Russian Beluga caviar, borscht, Escargot, warm mineral waters and vodka and stuff I can't recall or spell. And I loved the experience if not all of the tastes!
So when I read the Dining Room's menu of bison items, I signed up. First night: Bison Filet Mignon. Second night: Bison Carpaccio. Third night: Bison Tartare. (The last 2 are those I previously swore never to eat due to their being, basically, raw). But my European travels and those of the Baltic Sea required I honor my new found bravery and buckle up.
The three best meals i have experienced in the United States. The Carpaccio was my favorite.
