Have you ever wondered how a Dinosaur would taste?

I know there are no Dinosaurs alive today, unless you count their descendants- The Birds and their cousins Crocodilians. But have you ever wondered what it would be like to hunt a dinosaur down, cook the meat and eat it? I always thought it'd taste like Turkey or Chicken. Man I'd love to hunt a T-Rex down and eat one. I bet they taste better than pigeon. Pigeon meat is like a fortune cookie wings it tastes so good. :d hunger 😄

Probably tastes like chicken.
Snake, gator, frog taste like chicken to me. The latter two do have a fishy taste.

Pigeon...

Boy, you're one classy man.

"Farm raised" pigeon isn't bad, if a little greasy

I hunted one in a park one time. One good knifing was a it needed. Those were some good drumsticks though, almost better than chicken

They taste good with some duck sauce and sesame seeds. Kinda like sesame seed chicken but with pigeon.

After you seasoned it did you wash it down with a chilled glass of sauvignon blanc?

Nah. I just drank some cranberry wine (It's pretty good too) to go down with it. I have unfortunately never tried Sauvignon Blanc. And I bet my father would be proud. I wish my cooking was as good as his. But unfortunately the student will never beat the master.

You're telling me you don't go down to the local park hunt one there?

Pussy

No. Not going to waste ammo on pigeons.

^^Awesome. What did you expect?

Probably tastes like chicken.

Makes sense since Velicoraptor is an ancestor of chicken.

Hmmm....

brown rice and boneless fleshless Velicoraptor breast...

Actually it's more of a descendant of Birds of Prey like the Peregrine Falcon. It's actually been stated the Tyrannosaurus is the ancestor of the chicken so yeah,

You planning on weight lifting during time travels?

Shoot I might as well train under 100x gravity and go Super Saiyajin while I'm at it lol. Nah but I'll wait for someone to find a way to extract Dino DNA and then I'll be making some Triceratops steaks. Cowpuncher should get in on this since we'd have fun making some and he's an expert in cooking.

I watched Jurassic Park with my kids the other day. We decided we'd try to catch one of the small ones first. In the second movie when the baby t-rex is injured, I said that's where I'd get my first taste of t-rex.

I suggest ostrich taste for the grass eating ones. Big bird, doesn't fly.

The predators could be tasting like vultures. What they eat makes a difference on what they taste of.

I ate a fried alligator po' boy(sandwich)at a restaurant when I was a kid, before I went vegetarian.

Expected the reptile meat to taste exotic/distinct but discovered the opposite was true. If I hadn't known better & someone said it was a chicken sandwich, I'd believe them just going by the taste, color & consistency of alligator.

I'm thinking dino meat was prob similar to poultry as well. Since alligators are, more or less, dinosaurs that didn't go extinct.

Several of my books about poultry make the claim that chickens, (or gallinaceous birds in general like chicken, pheasant, etc) are the T-Rex's closest living relative.

I'm not sure of the truth or falsehood of that statement, but I have seen it, and if you see them out chasing bugs in the yard on a sunny afternoon.. you tend to believe it. They are constantly hunting bugs and worms, all day long, as long as there's enough light. In fact I keep them as much to control bugs as for the eggs, since I live right by a creek. They work wonders for that.

They will also happily eat anything small enough to choke down. My nephew witnessed my old rooster catching and eating a mouse. Voracious hunters.

So maybe the chicken/T-Rex relationship is true? dunno.

Yep. They say it's true. So I'd assume a T-Rex would taste like a chicken. A very big chicken that many people would probably die trying to kill it so they can eat it.
