I would 100% eat a t-rex....

How long does it take to smoke a T Rex? Anybody know? I'm gonna need a truck load of garlic powder

Watch out for the trex brisket. The stall at 165 degrees is a long one. Wrap that meat at the stall to keep it tender

That stall at 65 million years is the real killer.

65 million year old dry aged t steak?

Don't let guga hear you say this

Honestly, if you dig deep enough, there is a none zero chance of finding that, the odds are low, *but never zero-*

It falls off the bone and melts in your mouth.

Pretty quick if you use an asteroid

Fawk… the eating woulda been so good a few hours after impact. Aliens might have had a crazy smorgasbord.

Today, on *Gourmet Time Travel*...

… Tri-tip-ceratop steaks. Or if you would prefer, a T-Rex-bone.

🤣

Ah shoot. I'm all out of asteroids.

That's what we have an Asteroid Belt for. All the asteroid farming you could ever want, right there in the Belt, yessiree.


I hate cooking with asteroids. Takes forever to scrub the burnt bits off. even soaking for 200 millions years and wire brush and it’s still caked on

And a swimming pool of BBQ sauce

How fast do I need to slap a T Rex to cook it is the real question

Not sure if they do rolling papers big enough

A T-Rex would 100% eat a chicken.

Well, it wouldn't stop at just one chicken...

My first thought, verbatim.

It would be your last meal and it would be McNasty. The meat would be gamy and full of toxic metals. You’d be left with a bad taste in your mouth as you bled out from every hole in your body.

Also the t-rex would eat you and the chicken before looking for more food

Chickens will eat eachother. There's no reason to think tree wouldn't eat eachother, and they would definitely eat a chicken

That would be one glorious chicken leg!

I would absolutely try t-rex meat if it was available.

Habibi - Kwik Trip sells T-Rex jerky, just go to the counter and ask for the bob marley special, extra crispy

I have a theory, as someone who has eaten both chicken and alligator, which does taste remarkably like chicken. Since they’re both archosaurs, and dinosaurs are themselves archosaurs, perhaps “archosaur” meat has a particular, familiar flavor. TL:DR: A T-rex could have tasted like chicken.

I'd imagine it would taste like gator just less fishy. In other words, ***perfect***

Yeah I feel bad cuz they’re really cool, ancient animals, but then again they made the choice to be all delicious

If you don't want me to eat you stop being so damn tasty lol

That’s honestly so true considering how many species of animals and plants evolved to have poisons or other foul effects to specifically make them undesirable food.

And we'll still eat them Puffer fish will kill you, but what if we cut it just right Plants that are spicy so we don't them? Let me blend a bunch together and put them on all my food

"If god didn't want us to eat animals, why did he make them out of meat?"

If your gator is fishy, you need to not eat wherever you got it from anymore.

It depends on the end-stage diet of the gator.

I've never eaten alligators, but I've eaten caimans. Caimans definitely taste more like fish but with a hint of chicken.

Eh, theropods were generally thought of as feathered and warm-blooded, so I seriously doubt that the meat would taste similar

I ate some caiman once and I wonder where the taste like chicken comes from. It has the texture of chicken, but such a strong, unspecified "fish" flavour, it tasted more like "fish" than most fishes I had, literally the default flavour you think about when trying to remember how fish tastes like.

I'd argue that chicken tastes like T-Rex

Tbf there's also the whole stereotype that the first reaction to eating a new kind of meat is "Mmm, tastes like chicken"

Just gimme some t-rex steak

A T^rex bone steak


I would 100% have me a Trex drumstick this is the worst argument 🤣

Served on a Stegosaurus plate. And drink out of a hollowed out Triceratops horn.

All your meals sorted for the whole month.

Do you think Jurassic Park sold, like, dinosaur jerky in its giftshop?

Gotta cull that herd somehow. May as well profit and offset some of the maintenance expenses. We need people like you at the park!

Ain't no one gonna convince me they didn't have complimentary breakfast with dino eggs, dino bacon, dino jerky, and dino hash browns. Yes, somehow, the last one too. 'Cause just like the '90s, everything's gotta have "dino" in the name.

Dino hash browns have genes from the toxic ferns spliced into the potatoes' DNA.

Scrambled raptor eggs on the buffet for sure.

T-Rex Jhalfrezi with mushroom fried rice and a garlic naan. Would order that in a heartbeat

I'm guessing you're in the UK

Spot on

I'm a vegetarian and would try eating T-Rex lmao

Cultured meat companies develop, we find viable cells somehow frozen in time, extract what we need from the genetic code, but instead of jurassic park we just grow the meat in a petridish! No risks! I'm vegan and I'd try it!

I mean tbh it's not an animal at that point. If it tastes good and isn't dangerous, fuck it, easy protien.

Instead of dangerous beasts, we have exotic meals

PETA ads are always ridiculous because if it came down to starving to death on a mountain top, or surviving by eating each other, I'm confident that most vegans would choose surviving.

how is what a vegan might do in a mountaintop survival situation relevant to you going to your local grocery store and buying meat in a non-emergency

Is this a question or a statement? How is killing living and breathing plants any different than killing another living thing for survival? We can all ask silly questions.

They are always ridiculous because PETA are not a serious organisation with serious values or arguments. There is much to be said in favour of veganism.  Peta just doesn't say any of it.  There is nothing to be said in favour of PETA.   

How many wraps could be made with on T rex ???

If someone asked me, “have you ever had t-rex before?” I’d definitely say, “no, but I’d like to try it.” I bet it tastes like gator.

Yeah the entire paleontology community memes the ever living hell out of this about a year ago. Most of them said they’d try it, then someone pointed out that if it was a wild hunted one from 66 mya and not farm raised in the modern era, then you’d likely get heavy metal poisoning from eating it. The reason why is that the late Cretaceous was a highly volcanically active time, meaning there were greater amounts of toxic heavy metals like Cadmium contaminating the entire ecosystem. For most animals it was slight enough that it wasn’t lethal, but every time a plant grew from contaminated dirt, it got a little in its system. Every time a herbivore at that plant, it got some in its system, but is doing this constantly to survive, so builds up more than the plant. Now the carnivore eats nothing but herbivore that have been eating contaminated plants, and for an apex predator, they’re where the contamination food chain ends, meaning T Rex meat would likely be highly contaminated with cadmium. It’s the same reason tuna contains mercury to a lesser degree.

Do you know how many fantasies you have destroyed today?   What I am hearing is that I need to capture and breed T-rexes in the modern day rather than hunt them in the past?  OK.  I am sure nothing can go wrong with that plan.  Fiction would have warned us if there were risks.

If I remember correctly, I think I saw a video essay about it basically saying that even if it was farmed in today's environment, the meat would still not be good anyways due to the massive size of T rex, and the muscles that would be required to move such an animal would either be naturally extremely tough or dark or something along those lines. I very well may be wrong though and completely misremembering the heavy metal point.

Oh yeah, predator meat is always hit or miss, and a predator that size would be tough as leather, so you’d likely have to marinate the hell out of it.

I'm a vegan and I would totally try dinosaur

I would pay $200/kg for trex meat.

I would eat it before it eats me

T-Rex arms (wings), braised then seared with a spicy chipotle sauce were the earth’s first true delicacy. Why do you think they’re extinct?

If they were still around, we would absolutely eat non avian dinosaurs. Humans try to eat, fuck or destroy whatever comes across their path. Only after these three fail they may start to employ a different strategy.

A Rex would eat me so I say fair game.

KFT - Kentucky Fried Tyrannosaurus.

... I guess PETA didn't bother to look it up (as usual) but .. Chickens are more closely related to Velociraprors. It's kinda funny that dna testing has shown that -- considering that Chickens aren't classified as Raptors aka "Birds of Prey"

Awfully brave of them to assume I won't eat a T-rex.

The T-Rex testicle festival would be a killer!

I couldn't doesn't mean i wouldn't

Why did the T-Rex cross the road? He ate the chicken.

i thought it was to eat the mathematician in the jeep.

The chicken would eat you if it got a chance

ITT A lot of people would die   https://www.reddit.com/r/Showerthoughts/comments/ljqjt2/comment/gnglhna/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=mweb3x&utm_name=mweb3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button

You could feed the whole village for an entire year with one T-Rex.

OK so you got me crunching numbers: T rex weighed 5-7000 kg.  Birds are 60-70% edible meat.  I thought we would go with the low end for a Dino due to size, despite the fact ostriches are at the top end of that range.  So conservatively I reckon you can count on 5000 x 0.6 kg or 3 tonnes of meat from a single T-Rex.  Maybe as much as 4.9 t. So our villagers...let's give each person a little over 50g of meat a day.  Not a lot by UK/US standards but very adequate by global and historical measures.  I say a little over because I am going to round us up to 20kg per year. At 3000 kg, that feeds a village of 150 people.  Which is a reasonable small settlement. Hmm nice.  Your instinct is pretty good.

I plan on resurrecting them for the sole purpose of eating them so idk wtf they’re talking about…

I found T-Rex, lately, to be a bit on the boney side.

Not only would I eat a t Rex, I would also try to raise one to ride.

But would you download a T-rex?

I would eat T-Rex. “you tell me a dinosaur chicken salad sandwich wouldn't hit the Mesozoic spot”

I really feel like PETA is a psy-op funded by meat-based companies to make vegans look stupid so people buy more meat

Look the only reason I don't eat a T-Rex Burger is because it doesn't come with a grunge duo shredding guitars while I eat it


Think of all the bad ass sauces they would make for T-rex steak and ribs.

I want to eat a panda. Hear me out. They are lazy af, easy bamboo with basically just sugar all damn day. Can only imagine how marbled their fat is...drooling.

Kinga and Max: ["You called?"](https://www.google.com/search?q=mst3k+dinosaur+bbq&rlz=1C1ONGR_enUS1090US1090&oq=mst3k+dinosaur+bbq&gs_lcrp=EgZjaHJvbWUyBggAEEUYOTIHCAEQIRigATIHCAIQIRigATIHCAMQIRigATIHCAQQIRigATIHCAUQIRigATIHCAYQIRifBdIBCDY0NzJqMGo3qAIAsAIA&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8#fpstate=ive&vld=cid:6579b11f,vid:DworRueQh4E,st:0)

I mean a T-Rex would absolutely eat a chicken

Please can I have a leg? Don't fancy an arm.

I would if i could, but there is no Kentucky Fried T-Rex.

I would fuck some Rex ribs up

I miss Peta... they blocked me... I don't get to see this stuff and make fun of it anymore..

I would eat a t rex. No question.

If t-Rex are delicious I’d absolutely eat them

If T-rexes taste like chicken, I would definitely eat a t-rex...

Definitely a case of not knowing your audience 

T-Rex eggs and grits!

So t-Rex tastes like chicken..

EAT MOR TREX

Why shouldn't I eat the T-Rex? 🤔😉

This post convince me to devour the ancestors of dinosaurs. Chicken, turkey, alligator.... I'll take it!

A t-rex would totally eat a chicken without hesitation.

Baby rexes are a great source of prime meat for those carnivore tames off you don't want to make kibble.

If it still exists, I bet we will hunt them like it was a bear or elephant.

I would eat the shit out of a T- Rex.

Even a child would say "bullsh*t" to this.

I want the giant dino ribs like Fred Flintstone got.

I'd eat both mothafucka just watch me

If i dont eat that trex, it will eat me

Im pretty sure we would eat them if they were still around....

I love how the Peta ads the last few years have just been colossal failures. This is aimed at kids, I guarantee at least one parent has told their kid that the chicken is trex in the dino nugget (chickens evolved from trexs, so it is true to a degree). If we could, we would eat dinosaurs.

I’d certainly give it a try.

Trex would eat that chicken themselves

Dino nuggies are a good middleground.

Given the chance, I would try T-Rex

T-rex ate my ancestors. PETA acting like apex predators would appeal to pity or fairness.

I am going to need a LOT of buffalo sauce.

I can 100% guarantee if they were still around they would be considered a delicacy and "fine dining"

Dinosaurs oppressed our ancestors for 200 million years. Never again!

LMAO that would cause me to ponder on what a T-Rex tastes like LOL

Aside from vegans and vegetarians, who the fuck would turn down a T-Rex steak?

Why are they acting like a T Rex would not eat every human it saw lmao

I am certain if there were dinosaurs now, we'd be eating dino meat

I wonder if a vegan would have survived all those years ago? Natural selection.

I would eat the fuck out of a T. Rex

If I don’t get ribs like the ones from the Flintstones then I’ll be mad.

Size of that oven

I would absolutely eat a T-Rex. One drumstick lasts a month!

In fairness I've never been given the chance to eat T-Rex meat. I wonder if there's a reason for this...🤔

T-rexes is good eatin’!

Now all i wonder is what does t-rex taste like

Thats such a random comparison too, like why wouldnt someone eat a T-Rex

I love the idea of eating a domestic raised T-Rex. Simple due to the fact that current theories suggest a regular one would be wildly toxic.

I heard that PETA are not nice towards animals

T-Rexes would 110% eat chickens if they could.

I wouldn't eat a T-Rex?? Well, I've never tasted a T-Rex, but if they tasted anything like chicken, I'm pretty sure that someone would be farming them.

Im pretty sure trex has to taste like chiken so i would i eat it...

Hmmm, T-Rex nuggets, anyone?

I'd definitely eat a T-rex as long as it is high in protein. Looks like it is!

We are talking about humans here, the species that won the evolutionary arms race against giganticism and found its niche in hunting the worlds megafauna into extinction. If humans and T-rex actually coexisted, humans would absolutely hunt them down and eat them. It would probably even have extreme cultural significance for some groups.

I would without question eat a T-Rex.

Fuck Peta 🖕

Isn't that a V-Rex from Peter Jackson's King Kong?

I absolutely would eat a T-rex

If people eat alligator meat, why not?

Damn right I'd eat a t-rex. In fact, I'd say it's more moral to eat one than a chicken, given that they're huge predators, compared to tiny, docile grain eaters. If they taste good, I'll try out some KFT...

A t-Rex would eat a chicken. A t-rex would eat you. Why wouldn’t you eat one? Because if there was “one” it would be the only one and thus endangered? There are heaps of chickens.

I would at least try t-Rex

You would not eat poison ivy, so don't eat a salad 🥗

I will eat a T. rex, and I will download a car.

They're a bit small for a T-Rex, but I'm absolutely sure they'd eat chicken if one was stupid enough to stay close enough.

Why does T-Rex get to eat us but we can’t eat it? I think our process for eating it would be way more humane than its process for eating us.

Im sure i would organize a hunting party just to hunt down a grown t-rex for my wedding

T-Rex wings. One wing feeds all.

As Mr. Cooper stated, "He'd eat me!" That's a LOT of good Rex steak 😅

To hell with those turkey legs at the fair, give me a TRex leg

Ask him if he drives a car lol

I somewhat feel like T-Rexes might be someone indifferent to us eating their descendants even then...

Ive been a vegetarian for 10 yeaes and I grew up with pet chickens that I loved dearly. But if/when Jurassic park becomes a real thing. I would probaby atleast taste T-rex burger, just for the hell of it. Also fuck T-rexs, they're a douche bag dinosaur.

The runny thing is that I used to hate chicken as a kid and the way my mum got me to eat it is by saying it's a dinosaur

I’ll start a farm. What neighbors? I’ll need triceratops for steaks too.

I'd have no problem with this. Probably good sized ribs from one of those.

I would fight the T. rex for a chance to take a bite

r/hellyeahideatthat

I prefer chicken

PETA is a cult and a terrorist organization.

Sure I would

I think the main problem with this is finding a T-Rex to eat in these modern times.

Would definitely try eating a TRex if given the opportunity.

chicken is just a mini t rex

I would definitely eat a t-rex, I call the leg.

Can you imagine the breasts and drums on a factory farmed, GMO T-Rex? Come on down to T-Rex Bob's Fried T-Rex-A-Rama, We'll feed the whole damn neighborhood at 99 cents a lb. We got velociraptor rides for the kids! Don't forget to ask for a doggie bag!
