Signed up for a course on ripping people's hearts out with my bare hands but I had to switch to pass/fail because I kept getting hard during the exams and fumbling the follow-through

forget cannibalism it bums me out that i will probably never be able to ethically eat like, a flamingo

[webber-da-spider]

Penguin flippers, Kiwi breast, elephant trunk steak, that kind of stuff?

[biggest-gaudiest-poltergeist]

you jest but now I'm genuinely curious what penguin meat would taste like under all that blubber. would it retain any "bird" flavor or would it be more similar to marine mammals??? i don't actually want to eat a penguin to be clear, you've simply sparked my curiosity

My grandfather reported that they taste like fishy rubber boiled in motor oil. So bad that he only tried it once despite being on a ship in the Antarctic ocean for months on end. 1940s dry rations were preferable to fresh penguin.

Ok so I tried something similar today during work.

Pretty much most marine birds who mainly have fish in their diet taste pretty similar.

I tried a number of auk species (those include things like puffins, little auks, guillemots, razorbills ect.) And when boiled they both smell and taste kind of like wet Catfood and have dark meat.

Pretty gross and not reccomedable.

I could imagine its fair to assume penguin meat will not taste much different, though I can't give first hand accounts.

BUT i live in a place where people used to hunt and eat young gulls and they supposedly tasted good ( biggest lie ive ever heard).

I think with most of these marine bird species you really only eat them when you NEED to or go through a longer process of trying to get rid of the fishy taste by keeping them in milk baths or vinegar.

The joy of cooking has a similar suggestion for eating varmints who tend to eat garbage, such as opossums: Keep them alive for a week or so, feeding them oats, cereals, and honey.

Can confirm, makes for tastier varmint

THE JOY OF COOKING????

[marlynnofmany]

Found it! Apparently this is from at least the 1975 edition, though likely much earlier (Depression era cooking was notoriously creative).

Source A and Source B also have photos of several other unlikely recipes, including porcupine, raccoon, and squirrel.

I love having 1-2 OCs that I talk about constantly and which hog all the spotlight, then occasionally talk about an OC that nobody’s ever heard of before like a whale momentarily breaching the water and then disappearing, never to be seen again for like another 6 months

What is the meaning behind your wol(oc)'s name?

[keepersofeorzea]

Raylin; her mother thought it sounded easier for other races to speak it, but also ray came from sun ray, lin came from lint because as a child she always seem to be there

Azhu'a; standard first son born of name. Thier mother did not think he would be able to stray from tribe as easily as a daughter would, though their mother never thought she would die while her children were young and on their first outing.
