    If you have had duck, chicken, goose, and pheasant you have already have had some dinosaur!

    With the wide variety of dinosaurs they would have had even more vsriety than we have with modern birds. Just like with the wide varety of fish and mammals.

      I feel like turkey, cornish hen, and maybe quail are more common as food than pheasant and goose. At least in the US. If you’re European maybe you put live blackbirds inside pies or something, I dunno, but I guess that’s technically a dino meal too.

          LIVE BLACKBIRDS???

          Sing a song of sixpence a pocket full of rye,

          Four and twenty blackbirds baked in a pie.

          When the pie was opened the birds began to sing,

          Oh wasn’t that a dainty dish to set before the king?

          The king was in his counting house counting out his money,

          The queen was in the parlour eating bread and honey

          The maid was in the garden hanging out the clothes,

          When down came a blackbird and pecked off her nose!

          Moral of the story, don’t be a minor character in an 18th century nursery rhyme.

        As an American duck seems more available than goose. I’ve seen turduckens, I’ve never seen a Goosiken

        I’ve always wondered about the blackbird pie thing. How did they get the birds into the pie? How many escaped during the pie-ing process? Were there originally a lot more than four-and-twenty? If they shit on any half-prepared food during the escape, was it thrown out or served to the cheap seats?

    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?

    I assume like an alligator or crocodile. Probably depends if it’s a carnivore or herbivore too

    Maybe y’all need to consider, isn’t it strange to fantasize about bringing extinct (potentially) sentient beings back into existence for the sole purpose of killing them again and carving up their body parts for sensory pleasure?

      I remember my high school teacher once said he’d want to try a Dodo Bird if it can be brought back to life lol

      I was first imagining being in the same era and happening upon one as one would a deer in the words.

      You first imagined cruelty and elitism. Why it’s that?

        Is there any difference? Would killing and carving up the body parts of a dinosaur for your sensory pleasure be any less cruel if it happened in the dinosaur’s own time?

          I’ll rephrase.

          My first thought was a survival scenario.

          Your first thought was selfish evil.

          Why was that, I wondered?

          My point is that your world view was to interpret it as a negative first. Not a comical musing. Angsty.

      The Human experience is pretty weird. Being reductive about just about anything we do ends up sounding like a horror show.

    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.

    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.

    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.
