Sorry Mr. Nutkin, you don't get to be an announcer.

When I worked in a restaurant that served tartare, the machine that buffaloed the beef was called the buffalo. As in "I'm gonna go buffalo some tartare".

My friend was babysitting a little boy, who wanted to go eat at a restaurant called Buffalo Jack's (they have buffalo and snake and all that weird stuff.) He said he wanted to get some Buffaloaf. Makes sense to me!

This past Saturday night, I ate at The Half Moon Restaurant and Saloon, where they served buffaloaf. I had the duck. I also shared an appetizer of antelope, elk, and buffalo, and tried my wife's alligator. MMmm MMmm good. Same for the exotic mushroom appetizer - the place is in The Mushroom Capital Of The World.

Get away from me Spexx! j/k

I've been there once a few years back - I recall it was very good - and had some very unique items on the menu . . . for that area anyway.

Shawnee123 03-16-2010 03:17 PM
snort...your wife's alligator? Is that what you kids are calling it these days?

I wish I liked mushrooms, but I totally don't.

spudcon 03-24-2010 11:17 PM
I don't think I'd try the buffaloaf.

Pie 03-25-2010 03:50 PM
Buffaloaf's better'n none!
