Buffal-oh-no!

This has nothing to do with Greek cooking, but relates to my attempts at healthy eating.  I have seen several comparisons saying that buffalo meat is healthier for you than beef.  I had never seen buffalo in our grocery store before, but there it was today so I decided "Let's give it a try!"  It was ground buffalo meat, so I was going to use it like a hamburger patty.  When I opened the package, it did not smell good.  I am usually the one who is very sensitive about bad smells, but even my husband thought it did not smell good.  He wouldn't eat any of it.  I decided it was just the "smell of buffalo" and cooked it with some onions and ate it.  It didn't taste as bad as the pre-cooked smell led me to believe so I hoped all was fine.  Then I decided to look on the internet to see if buffalo was reported as having a bad smell.  I didn't find a lot of information about that, but there were some comments about it having a "different" smell.  Still worried, I called the grocery store and spoke with the manager of the meat department.  He admitted he had never eaten or smelled buffalo meat so he went to get some from the meat case.  He agreed that it smelled bad and said I could return it and get my money back.  Well, by now I was too worried to eat any more of it, so that's what I did.
You know what is going on now... I am waiting to see if I get sick from spoiled meat!  Why was I so trusting that was just the smell that went with buffalo?
At least in relating this to traditional Greek cooking --- if I had stuck with traditional Greek cooking, the rule is to eat very little meat.  I should have followed that rule today - or have been a vegetarian for the day.  I am saying to myself, "Just stay well.  Just stay well."
Hopefully my food choices after this one will be less "adventurous" .  New is okay.  Spoiled is not!
Healthy eating, everyone!
