    If you have had duck, chicken, goose, and pheasant you have already have had some dinosaur!

    With the wide variety of dinosaurs they would have had even more vsriety than we have with modern birds. Just like with the wide varety of fish and mammals.

      I feel like turkey, cornish hen, and maybe quail are more common as food than pheasant and goose. At least in the US. If you’re European maybe you put live blackbirds inside pies or something, I dunno, but I guess that’s technically a dino meal too.

        I’ve always wondered about the blackbird pie thing. How did they get the birds into the pie? How many escaped during the pie-ing process? Were there originally a lot more than four-and-twenty? If they shit on any half-prepared food during the escape, was it thrown out or served to the cheap seats?

          LIVE BLACKBIRDS???

          Sing a song of sixpence a pocket full of rye,

          Four and twenty blackbirds baked in a pie.

          When the pie was opened the birds began to sing,

          Oh wasn’t that a dainty dish to set before the king?

          The king was in his counting house counting out his money,

          The queen was in the parlour eating bread and honey

          The maid was in the garden hanging out the clothes,

          When down came a blackbird and pecked off her nose!

          Moral of the story, don’t be a minor character in an 18th century nursery rhyme.

    Based on illustrated stories I was fed as a child, I would now like to know if the early Christians ate the dinosaurs after they were finished riding them.

    Dinosaur meat would taste like petrified wood or rocks because it’s 65 million years old. Duh!!

    it would depend on the kind of dinosaur, the ones with feathers would probably taste like low-fat/high-muscle turkey meat, while the water dinosaurs probably just tasted like red fish meat. I can’t really tell what the lizard likes would’ve tasted, my best guess is somewhere between gator and komodo dragon.

    Everybody speculating on what it tastes like. When we should probably just pour money into scientific research to bring dinosaurs back from the dead to confirm definitively their taste.

    People say reptiles are tastier than chicken, the thing is chicken is mass produced at an industrial level, most of the reptiles are wild caught, maybe we should compare them to wild chicken or game bird, instead of store bought chicken, also it would differ wildly depending on type of dinosaur, it was a very diverse group
