You know the ostrich, called "dacho" in Japanese—the world's largest bird that can't fly but runs faster than any other bird.
I'm talking about the ostrich today because I read a news story saying that ostrich meat can be a good alternative to beef.
According to the news, an ostrich farm in the U.S. supplies the meat to people who cannot eat beef.
Ostrich meat is in demand among some people, particularly those with a condition called alpha-gal syndrome, in which a tick bite triggers an allergy to mammalian meat such as beef.
The farmer wanted to provide them with the meat so that they could enjoy a taste similar to beef.
After reading it, I became really curious about what ostrich meat tastes like.
Does it really taste like beef?
When I looked it up online, I found many dishes using ostrich meat, such as ostrich burgers, ostrich shabu-shabu, and ostrich carpaccio.
Apparently, ostrich meat is high in protein and low in calories, making it nutritious and popular among health-conscious people.
The only concern is that it seems a little expensive because it's not widely available.
If any of you have ever tried ostrich meat, please share with me what you thought of it.
