Steak opinions....

When the colts played the bears in the supper bowl I had the great idea to serve horse and bear for snacks. Bear meat I found pretty easy from a hunter friend in Michigan but locating horse meat in the USA is mostly impossible or could not source any.

How was the bear?

There was a similar (if not the same) truck parked at a JiffyLube near me last summer. I was skeptical, and didn't need an oil change, so I didn't stop to investigate.

Some folks say that bears go around smelling bad
Others say that a bear is honey sweet
Some folks say this bear's the best I ever had
Some folks got a bear beneath their feet -- Lyle Lovett

The meat I got was oddly pinkish gray colored, irregularly cut like some drunkard with a chainsaw and felling axe cut it.

But tightly sealed in thick vacuum packs and frozen solid as granite.

Or, you could take him out to lunch and find out.

So meet a bear and take him out to lunch with you
And even though your friends may stop and stare
Just remember that's a bear there in the bunch with you
And they just don't come no better than a bear

Yeah, I would've passed on that for sure!

Horse meat is served in Europe, but I believe the establishment has to be properly licensed and they have to inform their customers in a prominent fashion.

Nope, most “fast food” sidewalk snack bars are selling horse. My buddies family in Belgium made a fortune importing horses from the USA and Canada to turn into snack food. Horse in snack food is quite good, but horse steaks are way too lean and dry.

Horse meat?

Yup, I looked at them and they still had marks where the jockey was hitting them!

Hunter could not find a horse??

We are leaving in about an hour heading to The Tomahawk in North Marion. We will get a few rare Tomahawks and the girl will get a burnt Filet.

If I remember I'll post pictures.

She ordered chicken and shrimp Italian, my son and I ordered the rare Tomahawks again. Meal was excellent.

There is a place that sets up shop at the greenwood mall for "cheap" steaks. Reviews are hit and alot of miss.

That can be attributed to folks who have no taste discernment vs those who do.

Where is this?

Where is this?

North Marion at the old Country Club.
The restaurant is called The Tomahawk, open I believe wed through sun,
5-9pm. We have been going about twice a month, with a kid home on vacation once a week.

Put it on a stick and cook it over a fire. Even cheap hot dogs are edible that way.

Look at the size of that potato!

I know, you kinda feel cheated.
It's a "Wish" baked potato.

How was the bear?

It was fishy tasting

Get a freezer and find a beef farmer that sells and get a half or whole. We have a butcher near by that will sell 1/4 up to a whole cow. They also have 1/4 beef and 1/4 pork bundle specials at times.

Couple years ago we bought 1/2 a beef from a coworker. Very active farmer who is a great guy. The regular processor he used was booked so he sent it to a place in Ewing. We picked it up and I honestly believed they switched the premium beef we bought for years old crap. It smelled bad and was awful. We ended up throwing most away as dog food.

When we picked it up the employees stared at us in a weird way. My radar told me they were up to something. Wife said the same thing. We told our friend about it and he was appalled and offered some money back. Lesson learned.
