Bison, Ezekial bread & kale

Inspector Coptoor

After reading an article featuring Irish PLer, Ger MacNamara, and seeing the above foods mentioned, I was wondering:

1. If anyone has eaten any of these foods before?

2. Where they could be obtained?

I know there's a heard of bison in Meath for Hunky Dorys to make their buffalo flavored crisps but I doubt it's available for public purchase.

I don't know much about Ezekial bread except Shelby Starnes advocates it.

Kale is probably the most attainable. I've just never tried it.
Never tried Quinoa either for that matter.

I've had bison. In a restuarant in france. It's prob availible rom speciality butchers. The ones that stock exotic meats like kangaroo, crocodile, ostrich etc.
Nutritionally, its not going to differ too much from beef.

Ezekial bread. Not sure what that is. sorry.

Kale. Availible everywhere. It's a leafy green veg like cabbage, and used the same way.
Used along with potatoe to make colcannon. (halloween dish)

Mind you it's not cheap but they should have a bison meat in stock. http://www.organicfoodsireland.com/gourmet_game.php

Kale is no longer in season so it's probably not too easy to find at the moment.

They had big bags of kale in Tesco Jervis last week.

If sales are good, supermarkets will try to source and sell it year round.

Some farmers grow it year round as cattle feed down the country.

Thats a gimmick, they have buffalo crisps but the flavour is created in labs by companies such as Kerry Ingredients.

Yup.

Potatoes Sunflower Oil Vegetable Oil, Buffalo Flavour (Sugar, Maize Starch, Yeast Extract, Colour (Sulphite Ammonia Caramel), Flavouring (Soya) Flavour Enhancer (E621), Potassium Chloride, Spices, Lactose (Milk), Citric Acid, Colours (Paprika Extract, Curcumin) Sweetener (Sodium Saccharin))

So its bascialy just sugar and spice, with some colour and a flavour enhancer.

The herd of buffalo is for marketing. It's more likely to be sold off to the few butchers that do exotic meat.


On a simialr note, there is no buffalo in buffalo wings either.
and they have long since been driven out of the city of Buffalo New York

I remember not to long ago trying to explain to someone who I would have thought was intelligent that buffalo wings where made from chicken wings. :rolleyes: I don't think she was convinced

I said something like that to her, she looked very confused then convinced herself that it was from some part of a buffalo. Later I was watched closely when making buffalo wings (with franks sauce)
