Anyone else ever wonder whether the dinosaurs were delicious?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Would they taste like chicken, or like lizard?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Most birds don't taste like chicken though

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 days ago

Not even all parts of a chicken taste the same.

I just need to know which one would be best with stuffing and gravy for Thanksgiving.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 3 days ago

Forget the turducken. This year we're having brachiotyranotriceradilophovelociturducken.

"tastes just like chicken"

[–] [email protected] 8 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Many of them probably would

[–] [email protected] 7 points 3 days ago

i'd imagine they'd largely taste like wild turkey/alligator, since that's basically what they were and how they lived.

[–] [email protected] 56 points 4 days ago (4 children)

100% they absolutely were.

Give geneticists 20 years, we'll have lab grown T-Rex in the grocery store

[–] [email protected] 13 points 3 days ago

Great, can't wait to hear beards gatekeep ancient flavor.

"T-Rex is soooo gamey. I prefer Diplodocus veal" "Have you tried pteranodon wings? Like buffalo wings from real buffalo"

[–] [email protected] 37 points 4 days ago (2 children)

I suspect T-Rex (like carnivores in general) isn't such a good choice if meat is your goal. Sauropods on the other hand? Tons and tons of meat from a single herbivore animal. You might even be able to use existing cattle feed.

At the point where we're making lab-grown dinosaur meat, I suspect the cool factor is way more important than silly things like efficiency. T-Rex meat all the way babyyy

[–] [email protected] 13 points 4 days ago

Well that's true if you have a live animal producing your meat. Not sure that applies if the meat is lab grown though?

[–] [email protected] 13 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Can't wait for brontoburgers.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 days ago

Or the ribs that are so good that you order them knowing you're gonna have to flip your car back on its wheels when you're done.
