Dear Patti and List,
Thank you for the comments about bison. I have had very good luck with the
meat. My son shows no reaction to it, while he reacts to beef.
The problem is the bison tallow. I have been trying to use it for tallow/fat
for pemmican. It is a very chalky fat and sticks to the roof of your mouth
even more than peanut butter. What to do? I called buffalo ranchers and
none knew what to do. After all, all their customers want "zero" fat, so the
last thing they are concerned about is the fat!
I called the County Extension office in South Dakota, even they had no idea
and simply referred me to a rancher.
He was nice and he raises a lot of buffalo but again all for low/no fat
consumers. HIs bison had less than 1 percent of fat in it. He was proud of that!
So, does anyone have any ideas why bison fat tastes so different and has
such a different texture, compared to beef tallow. How did the Native
Americans render it? Does anyone know?
I would simply like to mix it with my pemmican to use as a fat.
Thanks, guys and gals!
Mary
ps Susan, the bison is grass fed only. Maybe you should try it, and others
who have gluten sensitivity.
