What's Penguin Taste Like?

[Tuckerfan]

Well? Chicken? Frozen chicken? Greasy? Fishy?

[cbarnes]

Oddly enough, I’ve actually heard about this. Penguin is supposed to have a very dirty, oily taste. Apparently, it is fairly unfit for eating.

Given their diet, it probably tastes like fishy chicken.

[Antigen]

I would think it’d be very fatty. They’re basically all fat and feathers.

Penguin?
As the farmer said when he kissed the cow, “Every man to his own taste!”
I’ll pass, you can have my share.

Don’t care much for chicken either!

Penguin is supposed to have a very dirty, oily taste.

And such small portions!

Do Penguins taste nice?
It may sound like a strange question but people do actually eat penguins. In Antarctica there are research stations where scientists live for months or even years so for them having a penguin for dinner is much like us having a Sunday roast. From their experiences we have been told that they taste like duck and that they also have a high oil content, due to all the fish that they eat.
Guano miners also eat penguins whilst they are working near to Humboldt colonies; this however is bad news, as the Humboldt penguin is now a critically endangered species. Guano is old piles of penguin poo and it is mined for as it makes a good fertiliser, this practice is also detrimental to the wild Humboldt penguin population.

How do you cook a penguin ?

They are very fat, so a method that melts the fat off is better, like a roast. The blood is very rich in oxygen so the meat turns an un-apetizing dark as it cooks. The breast can make decent steaks.

What does a hummingbird taste like? Seriously.

True story:

My Spanish prof was lecturing about South America, and specifically, Patagonia. During one section about penguins, she mused, “I wonder what they taste like.”

I think I’ll print this out and show her.

I dunno, but here’s how you cook a camel.

No, no, no! You have to smoke Camels…

I believe that this report originated with the Shackleton expedition.

I’m sure the answer will seem obvious when I hear it but how could hauling off penguin poop be bad for them?

Well, they should be mostly red meat.

C’mon! That was like the world’s most perfect straight line, just sitting there ripe for the pickin’. How could I resist that?!

[Chronos]

Apparently, they taste better than tofurky. But then, wouldn’t everything?

Penguins taste like freedom…

[Chronos]

So THAT’s what they use to season Freedom Fries!

:eek: Tuckerfan, you were just asking for reference purposes, right? You wouldn’t really eat a penguin, my most favorite creature, right? Right? Right?
