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.
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.
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 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.
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.

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.

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

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