Anyone else ever wonder whether the dinosaurs were delicious?
100% they absolutely were.
Give geneticists 20 years, we'll have lab grown T-Rex in the grocery store
I suspect T-Rex (like carnivores in general) isn't such a good choice if meat is your goal. Sauropods on the other hand? Tons and tons of meat from a single herbivore animal. You might even be able to use existing cattle feed.
Well that's true if you have a live animal producing your meat. Not sure that applies if the meat is lab grown though?
At the point where we're making lab-grown dinosaur meat, I suspect the cool factor is way more important than silly things like efficiency. T-Rex meat all the way babyyy
Great, can't wait to hear beards gatekeep ancient flavor.
"T-Rex is soooo gamey. I prefer Diplodocus veal" "Have you tried pteranodon wings? Like buffalo wings from real buffalo"
Can't wait for brontoburgers.
Or the ribs that are so good that you order them knowing you're gonna have to flip your car back on its wheels when you're done.
"tastes just like chicken"
Many of them probably would
i'd imagine they'd largely taste like wild turkey/alligator, since that's basically what they were and how they lived.
I just need to know which one would be best with stuffing and gravy for Thanksgiving.
Forget the turducken. This year we're having brachiotyranotriceradilophovelociturducken.
Would they taste like chicken, or like lizard?
Most birds don't taste like chicken though
Not even all parts of a chicken taste the same.
