From www.oslinc.co.uk - the home of the Lincolnshire Ostrich!!
Ostrich is very tasty and it's got more protein that other meats, way wayyyy less fat ergo less calories, more iron and less cholesterol.
Fount of knowledge, aint I?
Louth a happening place? Where I go it is!
Nah, you've still got 'em, in Gujarat but there they are being fed, not used for feeding us 'umans!
www.ostrich.com ... buy your little breeders and fertilised eggs here! If, though the bird is indigenous to Central/South Africa and we can grow them here, in the US and australasia, I reckon you could have a farm, gurgal!
Nice little hobby for hubby - send him to feed the birds and you wouldn't see him for about 6 hours! ;)
I always wondered how Ostrich tasted? As long as you don't say chicken as thats
the usual reply on any meat hahaha! lovely picture at Target ....pretty flowers
around. Nice article! GJ
GJ - the ostrich burger I ate, which had been cooked on a griddle tasted like beef- ish! Hmm, yes, if I'd just been given it to eat and not told what it was, I'd have just supposed it was beef.
gurgal - You mean we colonised you, us with our Turkey Xmas Dinners and it's only NOW being accepted cos American Subway's arrived???? :)))
You didn't mention lamb or beef?
Our Indian Takeaways offer us a wide range of meats.
I suppose it's a case of what's easily available?
I have to say that ostrick isn't exactly common here.
A very large supermarket may carry it but normally we just have the usual range of choice, beef, lamb, pork, chicken and fish.
When I holidayed with my pa in Nigeria, I visited with a Muslim family and there was a goat tethered in the garden. Dinner seemed to take a while and started with a delicious cheese, stored in oil, on pitta type bread. Next followed a meat that was a bit chewy but tasty and I can't remember if we had a sweet. When I left I remarked that the goat had gone.
Yes, you guessed it!
Forgot to mention, Runa, that jellied eels were on sale at the Lincs Show. To my mind, they're associated with Londoners but no doubt people eat them elsewhere - no, I've never tried them, I don't like snakey things even if they're chopped up in chunks!
I really did enjoy the cheese and have searched for something similar here. Feta cheese is often stored in oil and that has an almost similar taste but not the same consistency, it's more of a cream cheese. Maybe they were goats' cheese balls? That tends to have a powerful taste! Love it!
