Water buffalo meat is better than cow meat. And they yield more and richer milk. My parents always had a few of those animals on their farm.
Does it taste gamey?
Lamb meat is delicious, as is buffalo, but they are pretty pungent too depending on the size of the animal and age.
Interesting. You learn something gnu every day.
(Yes - I know they are not the same animal.
I've just been itching to use that joke.)
Reminds me of a quote from Pulp Fiction in which Jules tells Vincent "well,sewer rat may taste like pumpkin pie but I'll never eat the ******"
It's bad enough that mozzarella is made from water buffalo milk....I'll pass on buffalo sirloin and stick with the cow variety.
