Someone was asking me about Bison, and because I'm now such a huge fan, and because it is a health alternative to beef, I thought I'd make a whole post of it.
I get my bison roasts from the Farmer's Market, and I usually pick up a little roast for about $8-$12 and it does for Matt and I and then one or two servings leftover.
Bison cooks much quicker than regular meet - for a small roast (usually a Sirloin roast) I only cook it for 30 minutes for a medium rare.
I mix up a bit of red wine, dijon mustard, coarsly ground black pepper, and some herbes (I like using herbes de provence for roasts). Then I mix that up, lightly coat the roast all over with the mixture, and pop it in the oven at 350 for about 1/2 hour.
We've also had bison sausage to eat cold and it is very good. The meat tastes a little stronger, but the texture is fabulous in the roasts.
There is a lot of great information here:

LOL, this thread is hilarious. I wouldn't mind giving frogs legs a go, but I don't know that I'd want to eat them off the bone, because I think the visuals is what throws me off.
I have tried alligator when I was in New Orleans, which wasn't bad. It was all spiced up, so the taste of the meat was secondary to the dish.
And Cher, I will say a big GROAN out to you for your game-y response. LOL
ROTFL!
That is hilarious!!!
