Viewers of the film The Revenant (which at this writing does not yet include me, although I intend to rectify that omission in the near future) were apparently treated with the image of Leo DiCaprio wolfing down raw buffalo liver--real raw buffalo liver, not some gelatin-based stage concoction which merely looked like raw buffalo liver. Now, I have enjoyed cooked beef liver on many occasions, but I am not all that enthused about the prospect of eating raw out of a wild animal the organ which served as a sponge for all of the toxins in its bloodstream. Maybe I would do so in order to receive millions of dollars like DiCaprio or to avoid starving like DiCaprio's character in the movie, but just for general snacking? Uh uh.
Apparently, however, not everyone shares my disdain. The Fort restaurant in Morrison, Colorado, is renowned for its authentic western fair and atmosphere. In tribute to The Revenant, it recently had a month-long special featuring a platter containing bison sausage, bison Rocky Mountain oysters (i.e. bison testicles), bison tongue on crostini, guacamole, and--bison liver. The liver was available raw, although wimps could order it cooked to medium rare.
The meal served four and was thirty dollars, so you can't complain too much about the price.
Let's just hope that the restaurant does not decide one day to do a similar tribute to The Donner Party.
