Everybody speculating on what it tastes like. When we should probably just pour money into scientific research to bring dinosaurs back from the dead to confirm definitively their taste.

I don't know, it's hard to get

I would imagine it taste like most weird meats; fishy.

[โ€“] [email protected] 3 points 5 months ago

it would depend on the kind of dinosaur, the ones with feathers would probably taste like low-fat/high-muscle turkey meat, while the water dinosaurs probably just tasted like red fish meat. I can't really tell what the lizard likes would've tasted, my best guess is somewhere between gator and komodo dragon.

Gotta be like gator right?

[โ€“] [email protected] 13 points 5 months ago

Probably like gator meat.

Based on illustrated stories I was fed as a child, I would now like to know if the early Christians ate the dinosaurs after they were finished riding them.

Probably like chicken or other bird meat, since birds are a type of dinosaur!

I love that paleontologists have begun saying non-avian dinosaurs

I'd also include it's consistent with alligator. Tastes like chicken but the texture is chewier

People say reptiles are tastier than chicken, the thing is chicken is mass produced at an industrial level, most of the reptiles are wild caught, maybe we should compare them to wild chicken or game bird, instead of store bought chicken, also it would differ wildly depending on type of dinosaur, it was a very diverse group

I don't know, I had gator a couple of times ... I wouldn't say it's better than chicken.

Who are these people and what reptiles are they eating?

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 5 months ago

I know they eat and cherish snakes..

Let's make a time machine and find out.

Dinosaur meat would taste like petrified wood or rocks because it's 65 million years old. Duh!!

[โ€“] [email protected] 10 points 5 months ago (1 children)

(petrified wood is also rocks)
