Seems like its been a long wait but I got my bison meat finally. First, things were slow up in Delta so I think the processors were waiting to fill the smoke house before firing it up - maybe aging my meat too. Then Ak Air Cargo switched plane routing and schedules and a secondary carrier had to get it from Anchorage to Dillingham. Then DLG had fog problems for a week.
At any rate, I got the meat today. Thawed some tenderloins for dinner. WOW They are super tender and very good. I'm pleased. We opened a package of their Smokey Dogs for lunch and the kids loved them. They are more smokey and less spicy, a little skinnier and longer than what Indian Valley makes, but every bit as good. Maybe better if you don't like a lot of garlic.
Delta Meat & Sausage did a great job wrapping and labeling, labeling the boxes and taping up the boxes. Quite a novelty for me - I haven't paid anybody to cut my meat in over 25 years!
Sure nice to have 300 lbs in the freezer - it has been looking really really empty lately - we're very low on salmon too.
