My wife has an allergy to meat (alpha-gal -- see ' www.alpha-gal.org ') due to a tick bite years back. She cannot safely eat any mammal meat (pork, beef, veal, bacon, lamb, etc.) or any of their byproducts (including gelatin capsuled medications). That leaves veggies and fish and poultry.
Fortunately, under poultry is emu -- that big bird originally from Austrailia. Several months ago, we participated in an emu grill for alpha-gal sufferers near Apex, NC. The provider of the emu was Ngon Nguyen of Amaroo Hills Farm in central TN. https://www.facebook.com/AmarooEmu
Folks, you have got to try emu! It is a near dead ringer for beef, but very low fat so much more healthful. It comes in steaks, small roasts and ground meat for burgers and whatever. I have grilled it, made stews and fixed spaghetti and chili with it. (So not a real recipe here, but a great ingredient.) Because of the low fat, it doesn't shrink so much, cooks a little faster and you only need about 3/4 of what beef would require per portion. And that also helps to make the cost comparable to good beef.
I am in no way part of Amaroo Hill Farm -- just a grateful consumer! Believe me, a meat allergy would near destroy the lifestyle of everyone on TVWBB. Emu helps tremendously!
Later on, I'll post some good information about grilling for alpha-gal sufferers.
