I just realized that I have never consumed a reptile.

[-] Miyar@lemmy.world 21 points 1 month ago

In this scenario, you still would not have. Theropods are proto-birds.

You can get alligator from some specialty butchers or from food stalls at fairs sometimes.

It tastes like gamey swamp chicken. Very, very earthy. Maybe the example i had wasent a good one, but let's say I didn't go back for seconds.

[-] ieatpillowtags@lemm.ee 5 points 1 month ago

You can get it at many restaurants in the south, extremely common. I had some in Atlanta Georgia, fried bites as an app. Gamey chicken is a pretty good descriptor!

Plenty of places to eat crocodile in Australia too, particularly up North in Queensland or the Northern Territory, but it’s also available throughout the mainland. We even have croc farms - mostly for the leather - but the good quality meat is sold on for people to eat too. It’s pretty gamey meat, and tastes a bit like a chicken-fish. Aboriginal peoples across some Countries in Australia have special licence (by way of their heritage) to still hunt croc for their pelts and meat, and to maintain their numbers as a part of practicing their cultural heritage.

Alligator is not bad deep fried, but still tastes like you're eating a weird chicken.

gamey swamp chicken

Hey! Who told you my high school nickname?!

I've had snake. It's pretty mediocre and tough.

Love that the dog is in a wheelchair LOL

[-] mipadaitu@lemmy.world 36 points 1 month ago

In a wheelchair, on a chair.

Then Dogi (AKA BuniDog) joined the comic. He’s based on a real live dog I saw late one night strolling the street in a makeshift wheelchair.

I think this was Dogi's first appearance

This is why I want lab meat, I want a chance to eat meats man was never meant to taste

[-] Makeitstop@lemmy.world 15 points 1 month ago

Or even just the meat that isn't practical to farm. giraffe meat is apparently sweet and was described by many big game hunters as the best tasting meat they've had. No one's starting up giraffe farms around here, but if you can just get a tissue sample and start mass producing it, we can all have giraffe steaks, rhino burgers, and barbequokka™ at our next cookout.

quokka

....dude...

[off topic]

The Freshman is a movie starring Marlon Brando and Matthew Broderick. Part of the plot is that the Mafia is holding underground dinners for the 0.01%, offering endangered species as the main entree. The twist is that the Mafia is serving them domestic goat meat, because it's much easier to lie than find and smuggle endangered species.

I think one of the first commercially viable cultured meat products will be celebrity burgers. People aren't going to spend a bunch of extra money on regular beef but they might spend $40 on Kim Kardashian's ass meat.

[-] Kowowow@lemmy.ca 4 points 1 month ago

Why not mythical creatures, I know the "real" taste would be up for debate but I bet gryphon tastes pretty good

[-] Ruthalas@infosec.pub 4 points 1 month ago

The "tastes like chicken" jokes write themselves!

[-] ikidd@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

So... is it cannibalism if you lab-grow a human leg?

[-] cynar@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago

I can easily see a specialist restaurant, aimed at the rich, that lets you eat a steak made from your own cells. Provide a swab, and have it served 6 weeks later.

[-] Notyou@sopuli.xyz 3 points 1 month ago

My own cells? Fuck that noise. If I'm rich I want a steak made from a Keanu Reeves, Idris Elba, Danny Devito, Sharika, or someone that's not my boring ass.

[-] And009@lemmynsfw.com 1 points 1 month ago

Can we grow titties, for scientific purpose

[-] mojofrododojo@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

only if you eat it.

[-] Guntrigger@sopuli.xyz 16 points 1 month ago

The logical end goal for lab grown meat.

[-] bruhbeans@lemmy.ml 12 points 1 month ago

Illegal in Florida

[-] senkora@lemmy.zip 12 points 1 month ago

They actually did do something similar to this but with beer. They extracted ancient yeast DNA from 45mya that was preserved in amber and used it to brew beer.

Unfortunately no longer available, which is quite the shame since I really want to try it lol.

Kill your enemies, eat them, clone them, repeat… you are now the eagle eating a piece of Prometheus every night

[-] synae@lemmy.sdf.org 5 points 1 month ago

Trying for those fred flintstone ribs

What I don’t get is: I thought Pooh’s red shirt was still protected

[-] Stoney_Logica1@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago

That's not Pooh, it's Plop.
