What dinosaur meat would taste better?

Adam Khor

I actually resent the fact that they're even thinking of eating a non-avian dinosaur. We haven´t even SEEN one yet!

Archaeopteryx, tastes like.. chicken

Two of my favourite subjects in one thread. Paleontology and Food. I can't lose

Next, what spirits could be distilled from Cretaceous plants.

Imagine the thighs on Deinocheirus.....

Offhand is it not usually the case that Herbivores taste better than their carnivorous cousins. As for T-Rex burgers, being scavangers and all, I think I'll pass.

Fred Flintstone used to eat brontosaurus steak so if it's good enough for Fred, it's good enough for me.

It would depend on their diet

At least it would be free range

velociraptor, obviously.

Crocodiles apparently taste somewhat like fish, so I'm guessing spinosaurs would taste similar?

According to what I've read, eating meat from predators that are high in the food chain is dangerous as they concentrate most of the toxins of the ecosystem...

Stegosaurus.

I read somewhere recently (dont ask me where exactly, I think it was a new scientist mag in the doctors waiting room or the like) anyway it has been speculated that one of the major reasons for the survival of any species after the CT event was that smaller mammals had an over whelming abundance of bar b cued dinosaur meat to feed on. They were smaller mammals who were able to store the meat underground before the sun was blocked out and the world froze. I guess we evolved from these mammals so you could postulate that we wouldnt be here if it wasnt for dinosaur meat!:pac:

I would have said T Rex myself Loud, nasty and a major predator. Pretty much like my ex only more loveable.

Whatever about the meat, presumably the eggs would be palatable.

All that being said I don´t want to imagine the size of the tapeworms you could get from eating badly cooked dinosaur meat...

Who am I kidding? I do want to imagine :pac:

Galvasean

IIRC the biggest tapeworms measured 30 feet and were found in sperm whales.

After googling I see the record in a human is 37 feet! :eek:

Actually, sperm whale tapeworms are monsters up to 120 feet...

Imagine what would be living in a T-Rex or Giganotosaurus gut, let alone an Amphicoelias...
