do you think mammoth tasted pretty good?

[Bassomatic]

Never had geese. Truth be told I wouldn’t trust those angry little bastards not to deliberately choke me with chunks of their carcass.

Geese meat is not so good I've tried it, I love game birds so I gave it a shot but pate is just the liver... and it's like kissing an angel, an angel made of bird fat. It's not cheap but well worth a try if you want to clog your ateries.

The truth is no animal really tastes that good, except for pigs chicken and beef. But that’s only because livestock has been bred for thousands of years to be tasty.

That’s why wild animals always have a “gamey” taste to them. They were not meant to be eaten.

Roast lamb?

Also wild fish > farmed fish

That color-added Atlantic salmon tastes like garbage compared to some proper Alaskan Sockeye.

My 2 seconds of googling shows that they were predominately grass eaters, and grass fed beef tends to be pretty tasty. The mammoth is a big motherfucker with a lot of dense muscle and a thick layer of fat, so it would probably be a mix of tough and greasy. Maybe they'd make good stew or brisket.

I can't imagine any meat or any food actually tasted good then, except bread. You can't really mess up bread THAT badly.

Too bad cavemen can't get bread because grain won't be domesticated for another 10,000 years

That’s mostly what they eat. Deer that have been eating tree bark and acorns and other bitter things taste bitter. If they’ve been fed on corn, the meat is sweet and delicious. Gaminess is mostly from living like game.

You have no idea how fucking angry this makes me. My greedy asshole ancestors just had to gank all the big wooly motherfuckers to death so I'd never be able taste them. Id never eat an elephant, they're humanity's big lovable pals after all, but the fact that it's impossible to eat mammoth meat makes me burn for it even more. It's maddening really.

I imagine it's something you would have had to slow cook or marinade. The elephant that guy ate was boiled since the day before and even then it was tough and dry. I doubt the people eating that mammoth prepared it this way though.

Yeah. Boiled beef doesn't sound terribly appetizing, but steak? Throw a chunk of mammoth on a rock near some fire, then flip it after a couple of minutes. I bet with all that grease and fat, and- oh, hold on-

Starving cave people would think anything that's food is great.

Yeah, all that grease, fat, and being a hungry ass man whose local walmart is some shitty flint rocks in a riverbed that's freezing cold in the summer probably tasted DAMN good. We can afford to be vegans in the modern age, but the non-animal calories just didn't exist up there at the time.

on a hunch,is this in relation to that sample of it they found down in Antarctica awhile back or w/e?
because thats what it made me think of,and in which case my answer would be: it probably tasted alright when it was fresh,not so convinced about some that's been frozen for 5,000 years :p
