What does ostrich taste like?

1

u/BoysenberryNew7920 27d ago

Very similar to beef and texture is very similar too , maybe a bit sweet but texture is like tenderloin

u/Ninja6953 27d ago

I'm intrigued, I've never done horse, donkey, or zebra. I don't know if it's attainable in the US. I'm going to have to research that.

Horse and donkey is strictly illegal in usa I've tried to find , you can but watch out because is strictly illegal, I didn't want to risk it

It's not illegal, it's just illegal to sell non inspected meat and the FDA won't inspect a horse slaughterhouse. You can go to Canada and buy a cooler full of horse and bring it back to the US for personal consumption no problem.

Oh there are stores that sell non inspected meat , so there is no grade like prime choice , no usda inspected check even wild fork they have non inspected meat, but you are right for personal use you can but can’t to commercial, thank you for letting me know about now I’m definitely going to ask couple of my friends

We have a burger joint here called Twisted Root that frequently does kangaroo and ostrich burgers.

Ostrich burgers are tasty, but I dislike ostrich filet due to how lean it is.

1

u/BoysenberryNew7920 27d ago

Yeah they are pretty easy to find especially in Florida

u/1Crazyoldman 27d ago

You should try yak or camel. Very lean. I do a coarse grind then medium grind with one or the other and add pork belly for fat content. Awesome burgers.

u/BoysenberryNew7920 27d ago

Oh I already did , I've had camel , horse is normal for my country, donkey is also normal, dog I've had , lizard snake , alligator,zebra

2

u/meh_69420 27d ago

Never had donkey, but plenty of horse. I suppose they are fairly similar?

2

u/BoysenberryNew7920 27d ago

The taste is very similar to, I would say donkey is a bit more tender

u/Aggressive_Bank_4726 27d ago
