    Too fatty.

    Tbh, apart from #weirdshyyt, has cannibalism ever been acceptable?

    Like stone age man, etc?

    All are plentiful, all are meaty.

    Google says otter is a Native American delicacy and tastes like roast pork, but they're nowhere near plentiful enough in this country to be a reliable food source.

    Donkey burgers are popular in China.
    Grazie anche a lei!

    But if you farmed otters it may be a winner: tasty, i'm presuming nutritious, small so you can get loads in a field so not enviromentally unfriendly like farming beef cattle but still give them loads of room to hang out and chill........
    You'd need a LOT of fish. Sounds smelly.

    Yes plenty of prehistoric evidence of butchery on human bones.

    Why don't we eat more bugs? We eat sea creatures that looks like f'king big land bugs so why not land bugs? Packed with protein. Just need better PR?


    Sometimes. Maybe. Possibly.

    Proposal has been doing the rounds for a while. As an example...

    When you’re a retired Formula One driver, what else can you do in your free time except build mind-bending concept motorcycles? In the case of Tarso Marques of Brazil, that’s exactly what he’s doing with the insane TMC Dumont motorcycle.

    Yes, it’s still a concept so, no, you can’t drive it yet. In fact, you might be wondering how it even works because the construction shouldn’t make sense in real life.

    This hub-less bike swaps a traditional car engine for a 1960s Rolls-Royce aircraft engine.

    Anatomically, the aircraft engine is positioned where a standard motorcycle engine and fuel tank would be, but takes up an enormous amount of space. Basically, as much as a full frame, radiator —the works. The massive 36-inch wheels are essentially spoke-less and completely open in the center, so with the 300-horsepower engine

    Too spicy for many. It's like Chicken Tikka, but a little 'otter.

    All are plentiful, all are meaty.

    For a large part of the worlds population it isn’t acceptable to eat pork and beef. Bit of western world slip up there MF especially as you will have been in those parts.

    Goat

    Widely eaten in many parts of the world but not Britain.

    Any ideas?

    Looks about like a sheep, eats just about anything, answers to the name Billy or Nanny.

    Does that help?

    Goats and sheep are pretty much the same thing minus a thousand years of selective breeding...

    But British people will quite happily scoff a sheep but not a goat?

    Why is this so?

    Breathe through their ears do goats.

    Fairly sure there was at least one goat dish on the menu in the last Indian restaurant I went to. (For clarity the restaurant is in Britain).

    Like a big rabbit, very scrawny. I've had it once in Crete and can't say I enjoyed it.

    Well I've scoffed a few goats in the sorts of places where "lamb" = goat. Very nice it was too...

    I think it's probably as simple as a sheep being a better eating option all round having been bred for such a thing. Goats are awful scraggly

    Yeabut...

    Goats turn grassland into savannah and then savannah into desert.

    Shoot a goat for Africa. Good for Shish kebabs and Chamois leather, not a lot else (and no, not for cycling shorts - there's modern fabrics for that. Apparently).

    F*cking goats.

    I'm not kidding, they're trouble them goats.

    This British person would quite happily eat goat, but never been offered it. I have seen a skinned one hung up in a farm shed though, so someone must have eated that.

    I had curry goat for lunch today in West London.
    Lamb is nicer though, goats are all sinewy.
