I think you might have discovered the next sequel to Jurassic Park:

Giant food conglomerate realizes it can sell dinosaur meat on the cheap, and attempts to breed dinosaurs as a bulk chicken substitute! Horror ensues when they realize it’s not as simple as it sounds.

Pop a poppler in your mouth when you come to Fishy Joe's. What they're made of is a mystery. Where they come from no one knows. You can pick 'em, you can lick em, you can chew 'em, you can stick 'em; if you promise not to sue us, you can shove one up your nose.

A better story than Dominion, to be sure.

No wonder they went extinct. They all got eaten.

Technically most of them got roasted.

The global firestorm gave them a nice natural smoky flavor that's unmatched to this day.

No. Chicken tastes like dinosaur

MonkderVierte@lemmy.zip · 5 pts · 295d

Chicken tastes generic, because the Chicken of tomorrow competition made them ballooney but tasteless.

So, no: they would likely taste better.

Btw, seems like US food generally has less flavor.

Anyone here in the mood for a tasty, crispy, roasted Compsognathus?

Alligator has to be really close

Kolanaki@pawb.social · 5 pts · 295d

I heard so often that it does, but I have had alligator gumbo and it did NOT taste like chicken at all. Much closer to fish. And dirt.

Crocodile does taste somewhere between chicken and fish IMO, so alligator is likely similar.

Just commented about the exact description of gator. Where are you that crocodile is served?!

CXORA@aussie.zone · 3 pts · 294d

You find it (rarely) on menus in Australia, and i swear i saw it frozen at the supermarket once.

Not really. Kind of but more... gamey I guess?

Edit: source: i live in Louisiana

Yes, this is spot on. There are definitely ways to cook it that can help ease home of that gamer-ness. I had alligator nuggets in Florida and really enjoyed them.

Stop eating gamers

WindyRebel@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 295d

Ah shit. Gamers are delicious. They’re so salty from all their crying that they make for a nice savory snack!

On a serious note—I thought I changed it, but autocorrect wins. I’m leaving it.

I think of gator tasting like chicken, but with a hint of fish. Put that way it sounds revolting, but I do love it.
