Memorial Day weekend is universally known as the unofficial beginning of summer - and in San Francisco, the begining of months of fog. Or should I say, more fog for the weather this year has been decidedly cold, wet and windy.
It's also the day when thousands (?) of Bay Area inhabitants brave the weather and drag out the grill, determined to charcoal fire those burgers, hot dogs and other assorted meat treats associated with Memorial Day Weekend. Since one of the principles of really frugal is to be really healthy, why not try buffalo meat on this American holiday. It's extremly healthy and very tasty, being lower in cholesterol and calories yet higher in iron and protein.
All this makes buffalo a perfect beef substitute for the health-conscious, or those on restricted red meat diets. In fact, buffalo has less cholesterol than chicken with the skin removed or even most fish!
Important differences when compared to beef include:
100% Ranch Raised
100% MSG Free
60% to 80% less fat (depending upon the cut of the meat.)
35% less cholesterol than beef (+less than chicken with the skin removed.)
30% higher in protein and less calories.
No growth-inducing hormones or steroids or antibiotics
No known human allergies.
It's available locally through several markets including Safeway and Whole Foods. You can also buy it at:
