    One of the truly beautiful designs on American coinage.

    Wish they would bring back some of the classic designs and do away with the dead Presidents!image
  • That's pretty cool , i'm glad someone posted a Buffalo thread as i've a question. What does buffalo taste like ? I seen a place called the buffalo grill and didn't think much about it , just a nice name i thought. Nup , they actually serve bison , so i was wondering.

    I do occasionally , last time i got 3 2010 nickels in change , almost all the ATB quarters i got came from there. A rich source of new coinage for the small price of heartburn and indigestion : )

    Buffalo tastes like beef used to taste. Served it alongside regular steak at a barbeque once... the buffalo went fast and they were clamoring for more while the steak just cooled. Cheers, RickO
  • Not as juicy as beef, but very good

    It's leaner than beef and tastes really good. Ruby Tuesday's has a Bison Burger on their menu. I recommend it.

    That's what a shot of Pickapeppa sauce is for. That or some habanero sauce.

    A couple of my friends did a blind taste test in front of me at a restaurant. The place offered a regular hamburger, a Kobe beef burger and a bison burger. The burgers were ordered medium. They expected they would be able to tell the bison burger as being the driest. It turns out because they all had pink, it was not. They were surprised when they found out what they though was the Kobe was actually the bison. They said it had the best beef flavor. The waitress was not surprised at all.

    I don't anyone personally that has eaten buffalo instead of bison. Anyone?
    There is no "AT" or "NT". We only have "market acceptable" or "not market acceptable.

    Looks like the Buffalo that we saw on the way to Alaska! We also saw some wild horses too! My kids loved it.
