It makes me wonder, though…how will you know when you’re addressing me?

“And east is east and west is west and if you take stegosaurus and stew them like archaeopteryx they taste much more like allosaurus than mosasaurus does. Now you tell me what you know.”

You could take an apatosaurus, stuff it with a diplodocus, put a tryannosaur inside that, cram a hadrosaur into its ribcage, shove a deinonychus in there, somehow, ram that full of a compsongathus that’s embedded with a microraptor. Only then can we begin to talk about sauces and wine parings.

Dinosaurs weren’t crocodile-bird intermediates, they were each a living thing with its own specialties. The type of analysis in the article, trying to reconstruct them on their own terms, is a much better way to understand them.

P.S. And yes, I know we’re supposed to take “dinosaur” as including birds, but in my experience it only serves to encourage this sort of mistake.

A better candidate for theropod flavor is probably ostrich or other ratite, maybe with alligator. I’ve had the latter, but none of the former, but Raven tells me ostrich tastes like chickeny beef.

Dinosaurs probably tasted more like beef than chicken!

I dunno. Therapoda might taste more like chicken.
