tastes like chicken
I just realized that I have never consumed a reptile.
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.
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
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
Aww
This is why I want lab meat, I want a chance to eat meats man was never meant to taste
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...
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.
Why not mythical creatures, I know the "real" taste would be up for debate but I bet gryphon tastes pretty good
The "tastes like chicken" jokes write themselves!
[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.
So... is it cannibalism if you lab-grow a human leg?
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.
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.
Rich people are never boring.
(They have better press departments.)
only if you eat it.
Can we grow titties, for scientific purpose
The logical end goal for lab grown meat.
Illegal in Florida
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
Trying for those fred flintstone ribs
What I don’t get is: I thought Pooh’s red shirt was still protected
That's not Pooh, it's Plop.
