So you want to eat healthier but you want to remain a carnivore. You feel vegetables are for prey animals to eat or to decorate the side of your plate, not for you. Potatoes are the closest thing you get to eating a plant. Fine, I understand, I'm not here to judge. And I have a recommendation.
Take a look at buffalo meat. The bison, as they are truly called, are actually not related to buffalo.
Buffalo are native to Asia (the water buffalo) and Africa (the cape buffalo), and while bison are members of the bovine family they aren't closely related to the Asian and African varieties.
There are many stories about how bison got the name "buffalo" but in my research I haven't found a truly believable one. A popular Internet story tells of French explorers calling bison "les beoufs," meaning oxen, but this doesn't seem believable to me since Europe has a bison-like animal called a wisent. French immigrants would have been reminded of the wisent much more than of an ox, and it wouldn't make sense that they would give it the name of something it doesn't look like.
The French have a word for bison and it is ... drum roll please ... bison (pronounced bee-SOH). The Latin word for bison is bison, the Greek word for bison is bison, so the appearance of the word buffalo makes no sense since obviously Europeans knew the bison.
