Sunday, in between conference sessions, Ben and Liza came to my house for the lunch that my parents kindly prepared. As we finished getting the food ready, Liza asked confidently, "So what's special about these buffalo burgers?"
Ben looked at her and said, "They are made out of buffalo."
Liza laughed and slapped Ben on the arm, "Oh my gosh, no they are not." That's when we all started laughing.
Through the laughter Ben said, "No really, they are." Liza kept responding with slaps and exclamations that she knew Ben was teasing her and that she wasn't falling for it!
I had tears and mascara coming down my face; I was laughing so hard. I was going to try and correct her when Ben leaned over and whispered, "Don't tell her yet. Let her finish and then we will show her the buffalo head." It was the perfect plan. So we told her that it was specially prepared by my dad with seasoning, with no fat and so it tasted a little like a veggie burger.
It was delicious. Probably the best burger I have ever had. Buffalo burgers, I am telling you, they are the absolute best. We had a great time talking with my family and enjoying the food. When we finished, we knew it was time to take her to see Bronson. We instructed her to come with us because we had something to show her.
We walked her down the hallway and told her to close her eyes. When she opened them, there was a huge buffalo head staring back at her. We told that yes, she had actually been eating buffalo. We laughed so hard. Luckily, Liza is a good sport and laughed right along with us. It's a fun memory for the three of us.
So what is the lesson to be learned? Although buffalo wings are misleading and they are actually just chicken, buffalo burgers... are really buffalo.
