In Response To: Re: Moa Burgers (JDQuackers)


: I had an ostrich burger just a few weeks ago at the NC state fair.

Glad you lived to tell this tale...

: I don't know if the place serving them just prepared them poorly, or if it
: was a good example of what ostrich tastes like, but I would compare it to
: salisbury steak. It just tasted.... cheap, greasy and a little bit gaimey.
: I'm not ruling out the fact that the place preparing the burger might have
: just done a bad job at it.

: Either way, I was not impressed.

I'll be honest, it's been a while so the details are quite fuzzy, but I've had ostrich once. You know that joint Twisted Fork at Triangle Town Center? They had an ostrich "filet" on the menu. I remember it being very odd in that it was supposed to come from a bird, but it looked like beef. I remember the taste being a bit like beef, but also somewhat gamey - but not at all unpleasant (in the way that well-prepared venison is still gamey, but delicious). I've been back a few times, but they haven't had ostrich when I was there since then.

I might try to look up a local butcher who can source ostrich. I'd wager it won't be easy or cheap, but I'm down to try some steaks and even some burgers -- although, admittedly, asking a man to locate some rare meat, and then asking him to grind it...
