Tastes like emu

Yesterday for lunch I had Gebratenes Straussenfilet an einer Paprikasauce--fillet of ostrich in red pepper sauce. Not bad! (It reminded me of a meeting a few years ago at the height of the mad cow scare when beef was a big no-no in Europe, so we were served both ostrich carpaccio and ostrich steak.) I'm not always the boldest of eaters, but I have to give a thumbs-up to our flightless friend the ostrich.
