Lion Tacos… 10,000 hyenas can’t be wrong.
You think that’s bad? Try and open a restaurant that serves canine stew or feline nuggets. Then go check your restaurant facebook page for comments.
I remember a minor kerfuffle in Switzerland when Swiss people found out that China was raising St Bernards to use in restaurants that serve dog meat.
Snopes verdict: True
Have a look at one of my favorite anthropological texts, Good to Eat (AKA The Sacred Cow and the Abominable Pig He reportedly changed the title because too many folks thought it was a cookbook) by the late Marvin Harris. He talks at length about what people will eat and what they abhor, and why this varies from culture to culture.
Wikipedia says that lions are “Vulnerable,” if not “Endangered.” How does this not mean that they can’t be farmed (a horrible word, IMO)?
You would prefer “ranched”?
Lion tacos might be alright.
But I’d prefer the cub sandwich.
Maybe he’s blending lion with cheaper elephant, 50/50. One lion, one elephant.
These are human-fed lions. Lions who have been fed humans are very very pricey. Kinda like Kobe beef, except with lions and humans rather than cattle and beer.
I rarely notice sequential threads, but this showed up as I go through New Posts:
**What’s for dinner tonight?
Lion Tacos **
With Fava Beans and a Nice Chianti.
Ranch could be OK on a lion taco.
It’s a cat, ffs, that’s what’s so different about it.
I’d have to be pretty hungry to want to try eating cat.
… and for an appetizer can we get some fried Kalahari?
Sure, and we offer a nice dry desert wine to go along with it.

If you make spaghetti with a lion-meat sauce, would it be African Sperenghetti?
What if you make spaghetti with meat balls made from Lawrence Ferlinghetti?
I want mine served to me by a man in a Shaman/Monkey costume. He is to walk up to the table, and raise my plate of taco’s high in the air, then gently lower them to my table.
Extra tip if he can synchronize the music.
Payton Curry, a zany chef here, was serving up a reindeer sampler at his Cafe Boa. It was $65 and offered from December 21 thru January 6. He got death threats, too, even after he admitted it was caribou.
Reindeer is caribou. Rangifer tarandus.
