I've always been curious about (hex)bear.
Nothing against vegans or vegetarians, please don't take offense, it's just something I thought of.
Also: Inb4 "human".
Lab grown. I'm curious how they replicate the flavors of animals. Animals usually get flavor from the food they consume. Lab grown meat doesn't eat. So do they add the flavoring chemicals to it? If so that could lead to some interesting things. Being able to full control the texture and flavor of the meat would mean replicating various meats. Or mixing their properties. You could have the texture of chicken breast but taste like beef. Then there's the ability to add flavoring without marinades. Imagine a slab of lab bacon that's "naturally" smoky. You have to marinate or inject to get flavors into the meat. Imagine being able to actually construct the meat with those flavors.
Seconding ancient extinct animals. I would imagine mammoth is pretty pungent and a grassy. Dinosaurs would be interesting too. I probably wouldn't try it but ancient giant bugs cooked like prawns or shellfish.
Galapagos Tortoise. Apparently it was so delicious that no specimen ever made it back to England, even Darwin spoke highly of it's flavor. I mean, just think about it, animals that live longer than your usual factory farm stock are known to have more flavor, and these animals live for hundreds of years.......I want to try it so bad
I wouldn't worry too much. Can't really trust the palates of like, 19th century sailors
Along with any extinct animals we used to hunt. I'm curious to try a giant ground sloth.
Alligator or crocodile, I need to know what dinosaur tastes like
Very lean. Not a huge taste but nice when seasoned well or used for soup.
That's what I was hoping, i wanna take a big difficult bite outta that tail muscle.
I've had an alligator sausage po'boy. It was delicious, but it just tasted like sausage.
Bear is pretty greasy/gamey. I’ve had it when it was made into like a summer sausage though and it was really good. I’ve been on the animals are our comrades kick for the last 3 or 4 years though, and basically just want to try every kind of mushroom out there. Luckily some of the best wild mushrooms (morels) can be found in the spring with a bit of hiking through the forests, something enjoy even if it doesn’t win me dinner. I’d like to find some king bolete mushrooms though. Those suckers look tasty.

Did you kill the bear in the springtime? I've heard that they taste greasier in the winter when they're eating more nuts/meat (as opposed to berries)
Really REALLY planning on actually hunting for morels this year. Lion's mane is incredible if you haven't tried it by the way.
I had a friend who swore he could run down a (healthy) deer and kill it with a knife, I'm vegetarian but I promised him if he could I'd eat it, I'm not terribly worried.
Humans can, of they know how to track.
Fit humans have better stamina than most land mammals, that used to be how we hunted.
I'm sure it's possible if you're used to that level of endurance running. Even most fit people aren't capable of making good speeds at marathons with out regular practice though. I assume that sort of hunting would be a similar feat.
i think that usually the endurance hunting didn't go that long because the prey animals were not adapted to being chased for so long. Also, it probably involved tracking them over distance after they initially flee; a human can't keep up in a dead sprint. Preventing the prey animal from resting rather than following right behind them
my friend's a soft vegetarian and he turned me on to quorn, I get it every time I go to the super market. I get a box for like 4 bucks that has like.... maybe 15 or so nuggets in it? it's more expensive than frozen chicken nuggets but I think of it as it's cheaper than going to a restaurant which is unfortunately what I do a lot because of my schedule so it's still ok.
They're pretty good, they taste different than chicken obviously but still good in their own way.
I get quorn products regularly. Their chicken patties are great for making bbq chicken wraps. Their chicken nuggets are ok, I can't remember what real ones taste like but I'm sure these don't hit it. But their best product is the chicken breast, I have used them in so many dishes from chicken parm to stir fry.
Edit: where I'm at they're not cheap but for anything other then the nuggets I can get four meals worth of protein for around $6.
Never heard about quorn before. After a short bit of reading, yeah that sounds intriguing. Would definitely try a quorndog.
Manatee.
Yes, I know im a fucking monster. If I had the chance, I wouldn't.
But my carnist memeplex infection screams to me: It would be the finest kobe swamp-beef.
Perhaps it's their fatness/roundness that appeals to you.
It's definitely part of it, coupled with the knowledge that they don't have blubber the way other aquatic mammals do. They've got to be so well marbled.
I'm not gonna eat a manatee. Glades are fucked up enough as it is.
I stand by my post however. The beast would clearly be delicious.
please don’t take offense, it’s just something I thought of.
haha what if I consumed [product]? so weird lol
Ass.
I've had a lot of ass, but i've yet to try the rarer ass!
