and the song goes "oh give me a home where the buffalo roam". There would be no song if it were Bison. It just doesn't "flow", not enough syllables, bu-ffa-lo vs bi-son. There's no poetry. Just sayin.
Hmmm. All I wanted to know was what you all thought the correct answer was so I can order me a burger! I'm darn hungry for buffalo or bison burgers. Yummy!!
I knew there was a difference but I suppose I’ve gone with Buffalo under the Theory of Least Resistance. I don’t know what this proves, but pro baseball has a Triple A farm club in Buffalo, NY (the Buffalo Bisons). By the way, I’ve had a bison burger once in my life. Good eating it was indeed!
