buffalo liver

[Guest guest]

For those of you who don't like liver, I recommend buffalo liver. I bought

some yesterday b/c the beef liver packages at the store I went to were really

big and too much money, and they had buffalo liver in smaller packages. It

cost more money, but it must be lighter, b/c it said a half a pound, but was

at least a pounds worth of beef liver in volume (unless there was a labeling

mistake). Also, it was range-fed, and although it was " all natural " and not

organic (all-natural is almost organic in a health food store compared to

commercial meat), the beef-liver was organic and didn't say, so probably

grain fed.

Anyway, I took it out, and it _looked_ better, and it had a much less slimey

texture so was a lot easier to cut. I fried it up, and it is actually pretty

good! On a pure enjoyment test, I would still go for hamburger or steak, but

it doesn't seem to have _any_ of the unappealing qualities that beef liver

has in terms of taste and whatnot. I was really surprised by how good it was.

Since buffalos are ruminant and it is pastured I assume the nutritional

content is comparable to beef liver.

" What can one say of a soul, of a heart, filled with compassion? It is a

heart which burns with love for every creature: for human beings, birds, and

animals, for serpents and for demons. The thought of them and the sight of

them make the tears of the saint flow. And this immense and intense

compassion, which flows from the heart of the saints, makes them unable to

bear the sight of the smallest, most insignificant wound in any creature.

Thus they pray ceaselessly, with tears, even for animals, for enemies of the

truth, and for those who do them wrong. "

--Saint Isaac the Syrian
