Frog tastes like chicken.
Would dinosaur meat taste more like frog or chicken?

With the texture of fish

It really does. I had fried frog legs in Malaysia. Just like tiny chicken wings.

I’ve eaten alligator tail and it senses like a cross between chicken and white fish so maybe something like that

It depends on how much frog DNA they use when they clone them.

To make a DINO-SOAH!

It’d depend on the dinosaur wouldn’t it?

This. Why would all dinosaurs taste the same? All birds don’t taste the same, and they pretty much are dinosaurs.
Also, I bet that those ancient dinosaurs tasted a lot more wild and gave me than some farm-bred chicken.

Depends on the dinosaur. Chicken, duck, goose, ostrich all taste a little different and other dinos would vary as well.

I’ve had frog, it’s practically the original “tastes like chicken” food. They have maybe the slightest bit of fishiness to them, but nothing a little bit of seasoning won’t almost totally cover up.
Similarly gator is also almost a dead-ringer for chicken, just chewier (not surprising, I’m pretty sure just need to look at a gator to be able to tell it was gonna be tough and chewy)
So I’m thinking odds are that dino tastes like chicken.

Depends if you are asking based on the scientific defenition of “dinosaur” or the pop culture understanding of a dinosaur.
Scientific: chicken
Pop culture: Who fucking knows? Jurrasic park ruined palentology, and the general publics understanding of what a dinosaur even is. Most of them come from different families and some possibly from other phylum so it would be a mix of random whatever so maybe a fishy hotdog?

To make matters worse, Jurassic Park spliced together dino DNA fragments with frog DNA to make their “dinosaurs”, so your dino meat might taste froggier depending on where you get it from. Non-GMO dino nuggets probably taste indistinguishable from chicken.

Best shower thought in ages.

Maybe it would taste like a crocodile?
Cort@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
I’m betting the avian dinosaurs tasted like chicken. Or maybe turkey, with a hint of goose.

I imagine the closest we are gunna get modern wise is Ostrich meat which tastes like the midway point between chicken and beef.

I prefer to think they taste like duck. Tasty.
Mouselemming@sh.itjust.works 3 weeks ago
I’m thinking more like ostrich. BIG ostrich.
wreckedcarzz@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
Common mistake. Dinosaurs actually tasted like dinosaurs.
grue@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
Chicken tastes like dinosaurs too, though.
Makeitstop@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
Chicken is dinosaur meat.
FUCKING_CUNO@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 weeks ago
So dinosaur shaped chicken nuggets are… Hm…

That was a recent showerthoughts post.
A couple of people got really weirdly mad about it, too.
