I am one for ....flames a flarin'....charcoal taste....smellin the grease burn in the air....you know FLAVOUR...!!!Well we had Buffalo burgers for the first time today. Happened to pick up a package of beef burgers today at Sobeys...a lot "redder" than the rest....well turns out they were making some Buffalo burgers today and well the 'rookie packer' as the butcher said must have miss marked this package. Not a problem he said, just take it as is....cheap bison to try....kewl.
Threw them on the BBQ with some salt and pepper and olive oil. Noticed obvious lack of juices rising to the top.....hmmmm...."flavour missing"?? (I put a couple of lean beef burgers on as well).
1st Impressions......Stacked mine with the regular condiments, fresh onion, etc. Tasted like a burger...looked like a burger....but to me missing something. Daughter and wife both said dry...but they ate theirs naked....no bun, condiments, etc. Hmmm...they were grilled to med rare. I guess certainly something that is aquired. I felt it did not take on much of a flavour. Just for a taste test I did up one regular beef burger and it was like day and nite. Nice charcoal taste...very tasty, moist, etc.
Will I have it again?? I think I will try a steak yet....live a little....burgers again....ummm...not so sure...unless adding in a cube of frozen claryfied seasoned butter in the middle...or some other extra seasoning or dressing into the burger. I know it is certainly a lot healthier for you ...low in fat...high in iron...omega 3 and 6......but......I miss the smell of "flavour".....
ps...Thanks Vauner for the tip to try it....the stubble jumper in me still prefers good ole' beef...but I guess I gotta experiment on occasion
