Elk Steaks

I noticed this ad the other day in the back of a magazine:

I confess I've always been a fan of the exotic meats, put a dish of wild boar on a restaurant menu and can't resist and the reindeer jerky was the highlight of my trip to Norway last year. But I didn't realize that Elk is the gold standard of healthy exotic meats. Take a look:

Health Meat Rankings

1. elk ranges from .7 to 1% fat,
2. ostrich 2 to 3% fat,
3. buffalo 2 to 3% fat,
4. chicken breast 2 to 4% fat,
5. salmon 5 to 6% fat,
6. ham 6% fat,
7. roast beef 6 to 10% fat, and
last. back 98 to 104% fat.

I think Elk might be just the thing to take the edge off of the increasingly high percentage of whole-grain products that have been making their way into the house lately.

My friend Suzie eats elk all the time, served at the Google cafeteria. She loves it!
