do you think mammoth tasted pretty good?

[DeadwastePrime]

i mean, our ancestors hunted them down and ate them, so they must've tasted pretty good, although probably not if they didnt have any seasonings. maybe some salt makes it taste better? hot sauce?

 

[Hell0]

a mammoth sandwich would hit the spot

 

[FierceBrosnan]

Well our ancestors did hunt the fuck out of them. Plus tusks, hides, all that stuff make for good materials to work with. To them a mammoth probably looked like a Home Depot packed with meat.

 

[Prussian Blue]

I'd guess it'd be pretty tough and would have to go in a broth or something. If it's anything like an elephant, the feet and trunk are probably tasty.

 

[SpaceRanger]

You could probably find out what they taste like by buying some elephant meat through the black market.

 

[Dirt McGirt]

Do we know what elephant tastes like?

 

[Yellow Yam Scam]

Of course. They were like 70% fat.

 

[NOT Sword Fighter Super]

These people found out.

I would have tried it.

 

[Judge Holden]

Best way to guestimate is to use the elephant as its closest IRL equivalent

TLDR tough, tasteless, gelatinous, and pretty unpleasant all in all

If they weren't tasty, they wouldn't have been hunted into extinction.

10/10 would make mesquite smoked mammoth brisket

 

[HomeAloneTwo]

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

you'd be surprised

 

[Crippled_Retard]

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.

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.

 

[Slap47]

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

Deer has something to say about that. But it can’t speak because I’m eating it because venison is delicious. The duck also wants to say something but it’s trying not to draw attention to itself because it knows I’m eating it next.

Fred Flintstone liked it, that's enough reason for me.

And geese, I'm sure it would say something but I'm force feeding it so I can have pate later. Mmmmmmmmm cruelty.

Elk tastes almost like pre-seasoned beef to me. But, you can't domesticate every animal due to logistical concerns and bovines provide a lot of met per animal. Pigs and chickens are also able to be raised with a relatively small amount of land and resources, so smaller subsistence farming operations without access to the grazing land needed to ranch cattle can have them. Cows and chickens both offer a side benefit (milk and eggs).

In any case, those are the choices we made and it's not really worth changing at this point.

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