Maybe it would taste like a crocodile?
Depends on the dinosaur. Chicken, duck, goose, ostrich all taste a little different and other dinos would vary as well.
Chicken is dinosaur meat.
So dinosaur shaped chicken nuggets are… Hm…
That was a recent showerthoughts post.
A couple of people got really weirdly mad about it, too.
Something about the circle of life
It depends on how much frog DNA they use when they clone them.
To make a DINO-SOAH!
Frog tastes like chicken.
So “yes”, then.
Yes.
With the texture of fish
I’ve eaten alligator tail and it seemed like a cross between chicken and white fish so maybe something like that
Crocs a lot like chicken imo.
which are a lot like dinosaur
Fun dinosaur fact: Chickens (and all birds) are direct descendants of theropod dinosaurs, where crocodiles are descended from a distinct branch of Archosaurs (the group that also includes dinosaurs and by extension, birds). So of the two, the chicken is evolutionarily closer to dinosaurs. In fact, technically speaking, chickens are dinosaurs.
I’m betting the avian dinosaurs tasted like chicken. Or maybe turkey, with a hint of goose.
It’d depend on the dinosaur wouldn’t it?
This. Why would all dinosaurs taste the same? All birds don’t taste the same, and they pretty much are dinosaurs.
Also, I bet that those ancient dinosaurs tasted a lot more wild and gamey than some farm-bred chicken.
What makes meat taste gamey though, and why is that lost when the same animal is hand raised
Eating grass and kicking ass/living naturally and developing your muscles through daily use.
Something in a pen, eating store bought grains, won’t gain the varied flavours from eating a diverse natural diet, and the lack of running for their lives and never needing to use their muscles leads to them not taking on a taste
Got a source?
Depends if you are asking based on the scientific defenition of “dinosaur” or the pop culture understanding of a dinosaur.
Scientific: chicken-ish
Pop culture: Who fucking knows? Jurrasic park ruined palentology, and the general publics understanding of what a dinosaur even is. Most of them come from different families and some possibly from different phylum. It would be a mix of random whatever so maybe a fishy hotdog?
And chocolate starfish!
To make matters worse, Jurassic Park spliced together dino DNA fragments with frog DNA to make their “dinosaurs”, so your dino meat might taste froggier depending on where you get it from. Non-GMO dino nuggets probably taste indistinguishable from chicken.
I’ve had frog, it’s practically the original “tastes like chicken” food. They have maybe the slightest bit of fishiness to them, but nothing a little bit of seasoning won’t almost totally cover up.
Similarly gator is also almost a dead-ringer for chicken, just chewier (not surprising, I’m pretty sure just need to look at a gator to be able to tell it was gonna be tough and chewy)
So I’m thinking odds are that dino tastes like chicken.
Best shower thought in ages.
I prefer to think they taste like duck. Tasty.
I’m thinking more like ostrich. BIG ostrich.
Common mistake. Dinosaurs actually tasted like dinosaurs.
Chicken tastes like dinosaurs too, though.
