    Ostrich

    Becoming one of the most highly demanded game meats is the Africa-bred bird, the Ostrich. This docile bird produces a deep red meat that looks and tastes like beef, yet has 1/3 less cholesterol and is almost fat-free! Often described as an amazingly tender and tasty tenderloin, or filet. Ostrich can be used in almost any quality red meat recipe. Ostrich is probably the leanest meat available today, not to mention the most economically priced!
