Just like chicken really. And I knew that. I kick myself for the error. However, they were billed (pun) as "buffalo" and the animal is generally known as such.

Seriously, it tasted like beef, as would be expected, Rather course ground. Nothing to write home to mummy about.

Now Comodo Dragon! mmm-MMM!

>Bannock is the fried bread that they make. Sort of like sourbread biscuit door, made into an airy, greasy large pancake. Better than it sounds.

In Scotland there was a famous battle of Bannockburn. Maybe someone once burned bread there.

>Saskatoon berries a larger and more sour cousin of the blueberry. Very nice in jam in the same way that cranberries and elderberries are.

Blueberry, AFAIK, is absolutely my favourite berry/fruit!
