These are two of the legs of a buffalo, which were roasted on a grill on a farm in Mountainside, St Elizabeth, last Saturday. The farm is owned by Dr Marc Panton, chief technical director in the Ministry of Agriculture and Fisheries. Dr Panton and his wife, Coleen, played host to several persons who attended the buffalo feed.

If you have never tasted buffalo meat, you are missing something that tastes like beef, but a lot better. It is more refined and every slice is tender. Chef Lance Reid of Mountainside, St Elizabeth, pre-seasons the back legs from as early as Friday morning using natural ingredients of scallion, onion, garlic, thyme and dried pimento berries, All these are ground together and the leg is properly stuffed before he puts it to roast for just over four hours.
