In the summer of 1997 my friend J, my family and I stayed for a couple of days at an Inn in the Columbia River Gorge. The guest package included a buffet dinner. We sat on the lawn watching the river as we picked at the plates of food on our laps. My father suggested that the species of meat we were eating was Emu.
You can get Emu carpaccio at 8 Mile Creek if you want to relive the days...
They're good for more than just eating.
Emu has been promoted as a beef alternative, but it's never really taken off (well, it is a flightless bird). The usual thing happened where there was a lot of hype, folks got suckered into Emu farming, and then lost their shirts.
