        You can get alligator from some specialty butchers or from food stalls at fairs sometimes.

        It tastes like gamey swamp chicken. Very, very earthy. Maybe the example i had wasent a good one, but let’s say I didn’t go back for seconds.

          You can get it at many restaurants in the south, extremely common. I had some in Atlanta Georgia, fried bites as an app. Gamey chicken is a pretty good descriptor!

          Plenty of places to eat crocodile in Australia too, particularly up North in Queensland or the Northern Territory, but it’s also available throughout the mainland. We even have croc farms - mostly for the leather - but the good quality meat is sold on for people to eat too. It’s pretty gamey meat, and tastes a bit like a chicken-fish. Aboriginal peoples across some Countries in Australia have special licence (by way of their heritage) to still hunt croc for their pelts and meat, and to maintain their numbers as a part of practicing their cultural heritage.

      Or even just the meat that isn’t practical to farm. giraffe meat is apparently sweet and was described by many big game hunters as the best tasting meat they’ve had. No one’s starting up giraffe farms around here, but if you can just get a tissue sample and start mass producing it, we can all have giraffe steaks, rhino burgers, and barbequokka™ at our next cookout.

      [off topic]

      The Freshman is a movie starring Marlon Brando and Matthew Broderick. Part of the plot is that the Mafia is holding underground dinners for the 0.01%, offering endangered species as the main entree. The twist is that the Mafia is serving them domestic goat meat, because it’s much easier to lie than find and smuggle endangered species.

      I think one of the first commercially viable cultured meat products will be celebrity burgers. People aren’t going to spend a bunch of extra money on regular beef but they might spend $40 on Kim Kardashian’s ass meat.

        Why not mythical creatures, I know the “real” taste would be up for debate but I bet gryphon tastes pretty good

        I can easily see a specialist restaurant, aimed at the rich, that lets you eat a steak made from your own cells. Provide a swab, and have it served 6 weeks later.

          My own cells? Fuck that noise. If I’m rich I want a steak made from a Keanu Reeves, Idris Elba, Danny Devito, Sharika, or someone that’s not my boring ass.
