Cool!! More red meat

[LonePalm]

I prefer chicken stock. You can do more with it.

I do have some red lobster and beef stock in the freezer.

a low-fat, flavorful meat that has begun to attract health-conscious people looking for an alternative to beef I hear this line about every 4 or 5 years, some new critter better than cattle. Too bad there's just no replacing an Angus.

PETA will not be amused that yet another species is being subjugated by evil human oppressors. I, however, look forward to tasting my first yak at a good steak-and-game house.

When he talks about his yaks, Larson's voice softens and he speaks about the complexity of each animal's personality. "They're clowns, and sometimes they'll tease me," he says, smiling.

Does this mean they taste funny?

I'm always up for trying a new kind of meat...

[GreenHornet]

Yak. It's what's for dinner.

Beefalo. Ostrich. You name it, all failed to catch on.

Wyoming Yak ping lol

[Mr. Mulliner]

I was in Lhasa once and for one meal I had yak meat, yak tongue, yak stomach, yak lung, and yak butter tea.

I could live without a lot of that stuff, but if I was offered a yak steak I'd have no hesitation about eating it.

[Ernest_at_the_Beach]

How does it compare to Buffalo?

[Tacis]

From the government's point of view, it is important to know if the wolves like young yak meat and whether the adult yaks are mean to wolves (and other reintroduced predators) or not.

Two cannibals eating a clown. One looks at the other and sez,
"Does this taste funny to you?"

(Sorry - couldn't help it!)

[Bob J]

Maybe the RIGHTALK ranch in Wyoming needs a few Yaks!

[vetvetdoug]

Appears to me another Ponzi scheme for the agricultural community. Alpacas, ostriches, emus, beefalos and llamas come to mind. The press will give them free advertising and the initial yak breeders will make a fortune the next three years and then the bubble bursts. I, like you, have seen it over the past 30 years.

Hey...isn't that what Jeffrey Dahmer said?

[RightOnTheLeftCoast]

"Hey... isn't that what Jeffrey Dahmer said?"

Very possible. He had a ball being a carnivore.

[SoDak]

Buffalo is good eatin'. I don't have anything against Yak, I'm an equal opportunity carnivore.
