They're related to chickens so I would imagine white meat. Or taste like alligators do today, which also taste like chicken lol

[-] Sludgehammer@lemmy.world 53 points 1 year ago

So are ostriches and their meat looks like this (image stolen from American Ostrich Farms)

That's weird shaped potato

[-] clutchmatic@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago

Shroom, my man. Shroom.

[-] haulyard@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

We raised Mascove’s and it was super interesting to see how red the meat was. Straight up looked like a beef steak.

[-] NickDangerThirdEye@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

It would take at least 2 people to eat an ostrich, maybe 3.

[-] BloodyFable@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

It'd have to be a sick ostrich.

[-] mysoulishome@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

It tastes somewhere between beef and turkey imo

[-] Sludgehammer@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Two of my favorite meats. If I could get some cheap-ish I'd definitely try it. However, nobody sells it locally and all online retailers want around $30 a pound, so that's not happening.

[-] curiosityLynx@kglitch.social 3 points 1 year ago

Well, it's basically beef without fat, so equivalent to a high quality lean steak. In addition, ostriches have more narrow climate requirements than cattle and can be considered more aggressive than cattle. It makes sense that it is expensive.

[-] mawkishdave@lemmy.world 17 points 1 year ago

White and Dark meat, now I want to try dinoaour buffalo wings.

[-] NABDad@lemmy.world 15 points 1 year ago

Dinosaur Buffalo Wing. Singular.

Serves 100-150.

[-] mvirts@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Buffalo Arm™

Gator didn't taste like chicken when I tried it. It was slightly fishy and had a chew texture. Unfortunately, I was very disappointed in the experience.

[-] Catoblepas 7 points 1 year ago

When I tried it was like slightly fishy, chewy chicken. Not as bad as a bite of all gristle, but almost. I had it fried and breaded, it might do better in a stew or something to break it down.

I think a lot of restaurants don't have good gator because it's hardly ever ordered so who knows how freezer burned it is. I've have mixed experiences from bad to neutral.

[-] Lydia_K@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago

The correct answer.

[-] Earthwormjim91@lemmy.world 69 points 1 year ago

They wouldn’t be red meat because that’s a mammalian thing.

Depending on the dinosaur and how they move they would either be white meat like poultry or dark redder meat like game birds (geese, ducks, cranes, etc).

A lot of the theropod dinosaurs would have very dark meat legs and white meat breast since they don’t do much flying. Sauropods would likely be very dark meat since they did a lot of walking around grazing.

[-] laylawashere44 15 points 1 year ago

Duck is considered red meat essentially. It's certainly cooked medium rare and such.

[-] Earthwormjim91@lemmy.world 16 points 1 year ago

Culinarily yeah they’re basically red meat. At least according to the USDA though, only mammalian meat can be considered “red meat”. Duck would be dark meat.

That’s kinda splitting hairs though at this point since plenty of fowl have darker red meat than plenty of mammals. All pork is considered red meat even though plenty of it is culinarily white meat.

[-] bossito@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

And rabbit, a mammal, is white meat.

[-] Nikls94@lemmy.world 47 points 1 year ago

The meat is totally dependent on what that body part was used for! Generally speaking: red meat = constant usage White meat = short burst of energy Chickens run a lot, therefore their legs are considered red meat; Ducks fly, walk and swim, so they are completely red meat. Crocodiles and snakes for example do not do much, besides that one kill for the day or week, so they have white meat, like the chicken breast - because the chicken only does a short burst of flapping.

Having that in mind, T-Rex arms would be like giant chicken wings.

[-] Bleach7297@lemmy.ca 23 points 1 year ago

Surely you mean 'light meat' and 'dark meat'? Cows don't do much, where's the white meat on them? I've never heard of a chicken leg being called 'red meat' -- are we trying to play games on baby gen z-ers or something?

[-] hactar42@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

Meat is generally classified as light and dark. Red meat is part of the dark classification. It's just that beef has a higher concentration of myoglobin than chicken legs so it appears redder. Pork is in-between which is why it appears pink.

And while cows don't move much, just standing requires them to use a lot of muscles. Which is why you'll hear about veal farms doing horrible things like chaining calves to the ground so they don't develop their muscles. Which in turn causes less myoglobin which makes their meat whiter.

[-] Bleach7297@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 year ago

TIL, thanks!

We truly have some sophisticated conversations over here. Love you lemmings

[-] derf82@lemmy.world 33 points 1 year ago

Rather or not meat is red is based on the concentration of myoglobin. Larger vertebrates and especially mammals have a high concentration. I suspect some would, others wouldn’t.

[-] Donebrach@lemmy.world 19 points 1 year ago

Would probably depend on the dinosaur.

[-] marcos@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago

That.

Looks on the second most diverse class of vertebrates ever, point at them and ask "those were all the same, right? what would they taste like?"

[-] Swedneck@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 1 year ago

it would depend on the precisely muscle, and the distribution would depend on the species and stage in its lifecycle.

It seems like dinosaurs were generally big on changing niches with age, so for example a young tyrannosaur might be an active predator while an adult might be a scavenger, which would probably mean the young ones have more white meat.

[-] YoBuckStopsHere@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

Their bones and meat were similar to birds today, who dinosaurs became. So white meat.

[-] Sludgehammer@lemmy.world 23 points 1 year ago

As a Counterpoint: ostriches are birds, are close to some dinosaurs in form and they have red meat.

[-] laylawashere44 6 points 1 year ago

So do ducks. It depends on what the animal is doing. Cows stand around and walk for miles this they are red meat. Ducks migrate 100s of miles thus are red meat. A chicken on the other hand only needs it's muscles for short flights and such and even then it's legs and thighs which support its weight all the time are considered dark meat aka approaching red meat.

[-] ultratiem@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

I imagine it’s probably pretty much like eating a Komodo.

[-] Arotrios@kbin.social 6 points 1 year ago

Just came here to declare my belief that Texas Style Bronto BBQ would be fucking delicious, and the Jurassic Park movies missed a rare opportunity to dive into the delights of discovering prehistoric cuisine.

[-] paper_clip@kbin.social 8 points 1 year ago

There actually is a Dinosaur BBQ originating in upstate New York. Sadly, the only actual dinosaur they have on the menu is the chicken.

[-] Nemo@midwest.social 3 points 1 year ago

I've had it, it was decent but nothing to write home about.

[-] Arotrios@kbin.social 3 points 1 year ago

No Komodo? No crocodile? No iguana?

I'm sadly disappointed, but you've got my upvote anyway.

[-] McBinary@kbin.social 3 points 1 year ago

Well, reptiles and avians are both considered white meat I believe, so probably white.
