What would dinosaur meat taste like?

Chickens taste like dinosaurs

I used to raise chickens. They are the closest living relative to the tyrannosaurus rex, and it shows.
- Could you please share a story or two about your dinosaur chickens?
Chicken are dinosaurs, and taste different than ducks and goose which are also dinosaurs.
- Goose fat is liquid gold in the kitchen.
- With my wife’s cooking everything tastes the same.
  
  I play the beef, chicken or pork game every night.
In the same way that apples taste like fruit.
- Big if true
- But we don’t pet dinosaurs, do we?

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.
- LIVE BLACKBIRDS???
- 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?
- As an American duck seems more available than goose. I've seen turduckens, I've never seen a Goosiken
This is the correct answer.

Probably like chicken or other bird meat, since birds are a type of dinosaur!

I love that paleontologists have begun saying non-avian dinosaurs
I'd also include it's consistent with alligator. Tastes like chicken but the texture is chewier

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

(petrified wood is also rocks)
- Damn you and your "facts". :)

Probably like gator meat.

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

I don't know, I had gator a couple of times ... I wouldn't say it's better than chicken.

Who are these people and what reptiles are they eating?
- I know they eat and cherish snakes..

I'm thinking ostrich meat is probably closest.

Probably like crocodiles, which is already a delicacy in some places. In fact, crocodiles are already dinosaurs, the only ones who were too lazy to evolve into anything.

crocodiles are already dinosaurs

Technically, chickens are dinosaurs. Crocodiles are not, though they are as old as the non-avian dinosaurs with little in the way of evolutionary change.

Why evolve more when they've already figured it all out?
- To fly maybe. Not sure, it just seems biologically conservative when every other surviving dinosaur became birds, fish, and mammals.
Crocodiles are not dinosaurs, they are reptiles.
- Both are reptiles. But the crocs and dinos are different lineages.

- Thanks Pipey.

This question made me angry.

You misspelled hungry.
- Stegosauruses only eat plants

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.

I don't know, it's hard to get

I assume like an alligator or crocodile. Probably depends if it’s a carnivore or herbivore too

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.

Gotta be like gator right?

Let's make a time machine and find out.

I would imagine it taste like most weird meats; fishy.

Lizard cocks

skittles

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.

Maybe y'all need to consider, isn't it strange to fantasize about bringing extinct (potentially) sentient beings back into existence for the sole purpose of killing them again and carving up their body parts for sensory pleasure?

The Human experience is pretty weird. Being reductive about just about anything we do ends up sounding like a horror show.
I was first imagining being in the same era and happening upon one as one would a deer in the words.

You first imagined cruelty and elitism. Why it's that?
- Never mind; username explains.
- Is there any difference? Would killing and carving up the body parts of a dinosaur for your sensory pleasure be any less cruel if it happened in the dinosaur's own time?
Not compared to my other fantasies, no.
Nobody needs to consider that because it's not a strange question at all.
I remember my high school teacher once said he'd want to try a Dodo Bird if it can be brought back to life lol
- I remember doing a some do research in middle school, and I found people disliked the extra gamey taste of dodo
