[#0000FF]Good observation. I was taught that at an early age as a kid in Idaho. My dad and uncles were particular about where they hunted because deer that fed on willows and other green browse were so much better eating than ones that fed heavily on sage or other strong tasting items.
Ever heard the old saying "You are what you eat"?
Those who raise cattle for the market are pretty particular about the feeds the use during the last months of a steer's life before slaughter. And those in the know can quickly determine the difference between grass fed and grain fed beef...on the plate.
I once kept a couple of trout in California, from a "pay to play" lake. When I started to fillet them I was hit with a blast of fishy garlic smell. The fish had wads of undigested garlic bait in their innards and they had evidently been eating a lot of it. After filleting, rinsing and soaking the smell of garlic left in the flesh was too strong...even for a garlic lover like myself.
