Maybe, maybe not. Depends on whether you catch me in my Christian, Jewish, or Animist personality that day… 
Yes. I’ll have the rice pilaf and the soup du jour, and an iced tea, please.
Oh, yes!
No. If this kind of thing got really popular, demand might outstrip the supply of farm-raised hippos, and the restaurant might start buying wild hippo meat just to keep their customers happy. Or maybe also they will start capturing wild hippos as breeding stock for the hippo farm.
So there!
mmm, yum. put me down as yes.
mmmmmmmmm hippo…yep…
No, I wouldn’t eat one.
Hippos kill more people than just about any other animal alive, so odds are a few people are going to die trying to catch the hippos for the sandwiches if the trend catches on to make for widescale sales in hippo meat. I’ve thought about it, and even if they were farm raised instead of wild, they’d still need lots of water and still pose a threat to the people killing them. Sure, hippos are supposed to be vegetarians, but they bite people. Who’s to say that my hippo burger might not have a few people bits in it for good measure? Saying ‘No’ to hippo sandwiches is saying ‘no’ to accidental cannibalism.
Sure.
Add that to meat/fish/whatever like horse, donkey, wild boar, bear, sea cucumber, jellyfish, snapping turtle, tortoise, crocodile, kangaroo …
Actually, I loved the donkey…
Yes, but only if it was well cleaned and well cooked. They’re not very hygenic animals.
I’ve eaten horse and I’ve eaten whale. If hippo is somewhere between the two, then it probably tastes pretty good.
No …I can’t shake the vision of that helicopter rotor like tail flinging green poo through the air. I like my food to poo neatly.
yes
Why didn’t that URLify?
Do you know the hippo encore?
"The amourous hippopotamus, whose love song we know,
Is now married and father of ten.
He murmurs, “God rot 'em” as he watches them grow,
And he longs to be single again!..
A hippo sandwich, no.
Now a hippo steak is another thing! Eight oz. of hippo meat, cooked medium rare with a baked potato and a side salad. YUM
“I want some hippopotamus for Christmas
Only a medium rare one will do…”
- the stuffed hippo I had for many, many years.
Yeah, especially if it’s only 2 dollars!
Sure, make it medium rare please.
no, I saw the health department write up on this restaurant.
you people are brave souls to eat there.
Yes. I mean, how many chances are you going to get? It might just be fantastic eatin’!
