Hmmm…sounds like you like the “gamey” flavour…do you like duck or squab? Yum…


Squab? I’ll have to google that one. Never heard of it.

Nope 😂
I don’t like poultry (I will eat chicken and turkey because of easy access) but I prefer lamb, goat, deer and lastly bees buffalo if I eat meat

other wise I’d just be an ovo lacto pescatarian 🤡

Yeah, easy to do! It takes a hot pan and I basically lay it down, flip it, and that’s it. This was at a restaurant though so I can’t take credit. The chili soy dressing was so good-I need to invent my own!

My love of lamb is well documented. We’ll have to introduce you to the most delicious tender sweet mat ever @kris77. Haven’t had pigeon but do enjoy quail & Guinea fowl - except for the wee bones. Been wanting to try goat. What’s it like @GreenTealael? They used to say the butchers sold buffalo as beef in central Queensland - that meat was toooughh! I do like deer & kangaroo.

I’ve never had goat in anything other than a spiced stew or curried so I’m not sure what it tastes like simply roasted but I imagine very similar to lamb but with a little less lamb flavor. Maybe a cross between beef and lamb 🤷🏽‍♀️

Was sooooo hungry when i decided to make this gorgeous (if i say so myself!) salad, but once again, when i was done, decided I wasn’t so hungry after all.

Going back into the fridge for later: 422 calories for the bowl.

And yep, thats the some of the overcooked sesame-crusted tuna i made the other day (still really mad about it, btw)

Oh, I have! I'd say roasted goat is a little gamier than roasted lamb. But gamey isn't a bad thing IMO.

Birria is all the rage here is SoCal. It's crossed over into mainstream. BUT in doing so, it is now usually beef instead of usually goat. 😥

Buffalo is very good, lean, flavorful meat when it's ground, I agree, very tough most other ways.
I've never had kangaroo. Is it farmed or wild? What does it taste like?

I also didn't know squab = pigeon. I have had pigeon, it tasted just like a milder version of quail to me, close to turkey I'd say. I had it in Egypt, where it was deliciously stuffed with grains.

One of my favorite restaurants in one of my favorite food cities is Lonesome Dove in Austin, which is focused on game meats. Sooo good!

It’s wild. There are quotas in place for harvesting wild kangaroos by licensed non aboriginal commercial hunters of specific species & they can only be hunted in restricted areas too. Kangaroos are protected under aboriginal laws & animal protection/ecological protection guidelines. It’s not often found on menus but can usually be bought from big supermarkets. The meat is very rich & gamey & nutritious: low in fat & high in Protein.

Those cupcakes are gorgeous @Sophie7713.

Never had lamb either. I’m thinking gamey, is it?
Kangaroo?!!! Goat?!!
Man these are so far outside my comfort zone in food land
I’m not as adventurous as @Arabesque and @greentealael
I will eat tuna but grilled tuna

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
