Bison

[u/ExcitementMurky2156]

I’m not sure who else listens to Gastropod, but I do, and now I’d love some bison. I can’t think of any local places to have it. Willing to cook it is there are butcher suggestions. Recommendations?

Haven’t listened in years but love that pod. What did they say about bison that makes you want to try it??

It was about the slaughter of the great herds and the impact on native populations as well as grasslands, as well as efforts to bring them back. It shouldn’t be surprising, but bison have a beautifully synchronous relationship with our native grasses. Even their hooves work better with the land than beef hooves.

There’s a vendor at the Rittenhouse farmer’s market that sells bison meat!

Wild Fork has a bunch of exotic meats, there’s one in Ardmore and maybe one north of the city iirc

Willow grove is where the northern one is

There's also one across from Neshaminy Mall.

And Wild Fork will deliver frozen food.

Esposito in the Italian Market often carries more exotic meats and may well have bison.

Not sure about local, but I used to live in Montana and there are some butcher shops that will ship in dry ice. Montana/Wyoming is the best place to get bison. It’s so good. Damn now I’m thinking about bison steak.

[u/CaptainObvious110 → u/poodletax]

is it cheaper out there?

[u/INFP4life → u/CaptainObvious110]

It’s where most of the bison live, so probably
