Sugoi...!

Wonder how they'd taste in a bun with some relish and chopped onion...?

Same here. I'll skip the Reindeer hot dogs too. :sweat:

I doubt I'd have to go to Alaska to try it. Around this time of the year, just by driving 4 hours up north, you can meet pickup trucks loaded with dead reindeers. A real eye candy. :bleh: Usually tourists who went hunting near the artic by planes, but take it closer to their destination. Half of them come from Vermont, New Hampshire... It must smell really good when that crap thaws on the way home. :bleh:

I tried moose too at a friend's house, when I was a kid. Tasted like the rest. Too strong taste and it feels like you're eating a tree. All of it was wild game, probably part of the problem. I bet it'd taste better, if they had massages, beer and sake. :mrgreen:

Interesting although the difficulty for many, I would assume, is finding such "rare" lean red meats....deer, elk, even lamb are not commonly available at many supermarkets. Forget bison....you'd probably have to order it at a restaurant or off the internet!

I say eat more char-siu ramen...it's salty as hell and the pork melts in your mouth....see Daikokuya.

:beaten:

Lamb is hard to get? It actually considered cheap here, compared to beef, and you can get it everywhere.
You can actually buy kangaroo at most supermarkets too :)

Itai. :puppydog:

That's because lamb is common and raised on a large scale in Australia...in America lamb only constitutes 5% of all red meat consumption in the U.S.

Sou desu. The little suckers are everywhere. I remember years ago, my dad and some of his mates bought some lambs, and one of them kept them on his farm until they were the right size for turning into lamb chops. A very cheap way to get your lamb, by all accounts...

I like the reference to Japanese cattle :victory: With your obvious appreciation for Japanese food....you seriously need to venture to Japan one of these days....:say_yes:

I just need a friend who's not married and don't have a bunch of kids. Mine are all that and poor too. :puppydog: I'm working hard on having a place to crash over there. :mrgreen:



BTW, isn't most the lamb worldwide from New Zealand? It'd make sense that it's cheaper in Australia.

yeah from what I understand the best lamb is from New Zealand and Australia.

Good luck with that! I'm one of those "Married with a bunch of kids" types who can't afford to go :grumble:

Possibly. I've been to NZ, they are EVERYWHERE over there.

Hence all the sheep jokes :)

I don't doubt they would taste wonderful...although these are small breakfast sausage-size wieners....packed full of taste and fat :P

A nice piece of honmaguro I shot at Tsujiki....only 9000yen per kilo!

Yes my friend...lamb is great...but not as popular as in many other countries such as Australia, NZ, or the Mediterrean nations such as Greece, Spain, those of the Middle East, etc.

I like the boat. :)

Oh, and I'll take the 9000Y/kg fish too. The whole thing.

Nice fish :P

There's a restaurant near my place that serves a seafood platter for a whole table of people - it's served in a boat too, but it takes 2 people to carry the boat :) It has lobster, crab, scallops, mussels, oysters, fish, calamari etc and costs a few hundred dollars.
