make sure you cook it with a lot of fat, because it is pretty much flavorless

^so i've heard.

chili would flavor it and you could keep it low fat

10/8/2009 6:46:25 PM

it might be good in some sort of tex-mex dish

incorrect...i grew up on an ostrich farm, and for 10 years had more ostrich than beef in my diet...it tastes different, but it's far from tasteless...ground beef is tasteless in the same way if you just cook it with nothing else, but the lack of grease is not the same as tasteless

Chili is a good idea.

We had a ton of ostrich meat for some reason when I was still living in Cary with my roommates. We had a bunch of ground meat, some roasts, and some steaks. Depending on how you spice it up, it can be a great low-fat alternative to beef. But it DEFINITELY depends on the spice, so get creative.

chili is sounding good but i don't have all day to cook it

I was a broke college kid then, so we basically just marinated the meat for like 2 days in some steak marinade then spiced the shit out of it before throwing it on the grill.

steak

grinding the meat was pointless, so we almost never ate it ground...did a lot of things like fajitas and cubed the meat for use in stews/chili

I honestly think it doesn't have much of a taste to it at all, and the meat is really tough

10/8/2009 6:59:08 PM

we have here a creature who's only hobby in life is running... a lot. Did we expect it to be anything other than lean, tough, and/or flavorless?

However. I want some - definitely.

Why not season, put some garlic, worstershire sauce, maybe a small red onion (chopped) in it. Patty & make burgers?

holy mother of GOD this smells good... after a quick trip to teh teeter to get some peppers + an onion + beans + tomato stuff, we now have the makings of an excellent chili.

ostrich chili = GREAT IDEA

i'm going to let it cook as long as i can stand to not eat it
