Sampled some at a local food fair (Saltram House, NT) yesterday. The piece
I had was delicious - soft, moist and tasting rather like beef. Very lean
but that bit was definitely <not> dry or hard.

It was from a West Country supplier; didn't take the name but I could
probably find out if anyone would like to know.

I <have> had ostrich which was rather dry in a restaurant (as I have with
other meats). Presumably depends how you cook it to some extent.

Cheers
Jane

It's a few years since I've cooked ostrich but as I recall it's
comparable to venison - dark and low in fat - so it needs to be
treated in a similar fashion. I haven't had an ostrich egg - they
seemed too expensive to be more than a novelty.
