just like IKEA they half@ss everything

You get what you pay for...

$20 bookshelfs aren't going to last...

Nope... I haven't been to Ikea in over 10 years... and don't remember having ever bought anything there. THey do have a knack for marketing however...

I learned almost 30 years ago... particleboard furniture isn't worth the pile of sawdust and Melamine paper they are made from.

Yeah but I didn't know they made meat balls out of saw dust and horse . Actually ,I never knew they marketted food .

Wouldn't surprise me if someone somewhere on the planet hasn't put sawdust or (cellulose) in a meatballs... but you might expect that from China.

Horsemeat might put off Equestrian fans... and a few others... but at least its still edible and safe.

They have "Swedish Meatballs" Not "Spagetti and Meatballs"

I like both if they are made right.

Wife uses Ground Bison (Buffalo) because of its low fat content when we have anything that calls for ground beef.

Bison is good meat.. Have had it many times .

Hi smoothy

Sawdust used to be a butcher's trick for a filler in sausages but not heard of it in mincemeat, no in China they put other things in food

Isn't bison an endangered animal? We have buffalo here (water buffalo) a feral animal but wouldn't eat them, likely to be full of worms

I still don't know what you meant, now you knowing I am female is only part of it. I still want to know why you made such nasty comments.

Mincemeat and meatballs are two different things here and yes, we raise bison for slaughter and also maintain protected herds.

Isn't bison an endangered animal?

not any more .It was headed to extinct until private enterprise saved the bison from extinction .
The American Bison Society was formed in 1905 by such robber baron rogues as JP Morgan .He personally set aside 20,000-acre tract in Colorado and stocked it with bison. Buffalo Bill Cody added bison hunts in his Wild West shows introducing the animal to many people on the coasts . They in turn began donating to the American Bison society . Some ranchers began to commercially stock them, some cross bread them with cattle ( producing a meat called 'beefalo' . The American Bison society stopped operations in the mid 1920s .By then it was mission accomplished. The bison was saved.
Many of the bison that survive on public ranges today were released from these private ranches. By the 1960s ,public lands were open to hunters. Now they are numerous .90% of the bison today are on private lands largely for commercial use .

I didn't like the suggestion that just because the thread wasn't tracking where you wanted it to be it should be closed, look it threads stayed on track it would be great, but they don't and the silly editing have no thought to context

They breed them commercially... they actual;ly were almost extinct at one point...

These are American Bison... known more affectionately as Buffalo



They are actually a cousin to cattle native to the north American Continent... and genetically close enough to be crossbred. Known as a Beefalo

[paraclete]

Nice buffalo so aside from the Bison what cattle are native to North America?

[speechlesstx]

What cattle are native to Australia?

Very ill tempered beasts from what I understand... they also smell bad too.

[paraclete]

What cattle are native to Australia?

None unless you count the feral water buffalo no we have a much more efficient grass eater - the kangaroo

But seriously I was responding to smoothy

Hi paraclete, my suggestion to cb was in jest as I said before; sorry you took it the wrong way. I was kidding about the thread going off track, they always do and no problem with that.

Thanks for making everything clear. I don't edit, someone else does, and yes when that happens it changes the context no doubt about that.

Your post was weighing on me, so now I feel better

Tick

[paraclete]

I'm glad you feel better wouldn't want anything I say to actually upset you, take me with a grain of salt as they say
