Comment on Do xenomorphs, if prepared correctly, taste like shrimp?

My mind says it probably tastes like Living Rocks which have been described as tasting like iodine.

I’d imagine you’d have to cook xenomorph a while and possibly add lots of baking soda to death with the acid, but other than that I’d assume it’d taste like salty metal.

In fact, Fluoroantimonic Acid is one of the strongest acids ever—possibly worse than xenomorph blood—and it is basically just fluorine and antimony.

Antimony is relatively close to iodine on the periodic table, so I will assert it’s close enough that xenomorphs tasting like those stony sea sponges is accurate lol

Thank you. No too bad then, maybe even a delicacy once people get used to it.

  Considering people seem to correlate scarcity with value, yeah, big time.
  
  I also doubt people would be willing to hunt/farm xenomorphs if they couldn’t get paid exorbitantly.
  
  Oh and I’d imagine people who have that eccentric desire to be the top of the food chain would probably think it’s the best food ever. “You’re not a real man ™️ till you’ve eaten xenomorph meat” lol
  
  Sidenote: I just had an idea for xenomorph farming:
  
  Find asteroid with enough gravity to keep the xenomorphs from yeeting themselves into space.
  
  Place egg.
  
  Add hosts.
  
  wait.
  
  Use robot to retrieve an egg and make sure it stays entirely sealed away with no chance of human contact.
  
  Throw another asteroid at the main one fast enough it liquifies both.
  
  Collect obliterated xenomorph parts and cook them as they enter collection to make sure they’re dead.
  
  sell to patrons for enough money to buy new asteroid and repeat the process.
  
  profit
  
  Eventually make a mistake and die a horrible death
