Would You Eat a Hippopotamus Sandwich? (a poll)

Depends on my mood - I have no aversion to eating unusual meats - the only reason I haven’t eaten anything beyond the usual suspects is that I usually don’t frequent restaurants that serve the unique. So, if by chance I stumble on a restaurant that serves hippo, it’s probably a once in a lifetime chance, so odds are yes.

Sure, why not?

I ate bison last night. It was delicious (although for all I could tell, it might just have been overpriced beef).

vegetarian NO

Yes, but only if the hippo isn’t from England, so I don’t catch Mad Hippo Disease.

I’ve eaten snails. Hippo would be easy by comparison.

Yes, with the house salad and french fries.
mmmmm. hippo. droooool

Max :slight_smile:

Ordered a hippo sandwich once.
Tasty.
The doggy bag was a real bitch to get home, though.

Yes.

<insert witty comment here>

Sure, why not!

Am I the only one who remembers the Zoodles commercial that used to run every twelve minutes in Canada?

Ahem.

Have you ever gone hunting wioth a bowl and spoon?
While you can!! With Libby’s Zoodles.
Elephants! Lions! Zebras! Giraffes!
Zoodles are animal noodles.
So c’mon tell all your friends!
Tell the whole bunch
I just had a hippopotamus for lunch!

So it seems that once again I have beaten you to the punch, eaten you to the lunch and cheaten you from your hunch.

As long as no dolphins were killed in the process of capturing said hippo. Oh and it would have to be a free-range hippo,they tast the best I hear by the by…

No. It would be a waste of money if I didn’t like it, and I’d have to spend more to buy something else. I’m sure there would be something on the menu I would like. I would if it was free.

I thought about it, and that is the truth. It’s nothing to do with tasting a new and weird food or anything!

(I’m a uni student, I’m allowed to be stingy! :P)

Yes.

I don’t know if it would turn out quite as well as the ostrich burger I always order when I go to one particular burger joint, but I’d definitely be curious.

Are hippos endangered species?

Is it fried, or baked, or grilled?

Does it come with french fries?

Assuming hippos aren’t on the Top 10 list, I’d prolyl give it a whirl.

Yep.

Whenever I see a hippo at the zoo or on TV, I always wonder if they taste like pork. I bet they do. They have the same kinda foot. So I would rather have a hippo burrito, but for $2.00, I’ll give the sandwich a shot.

Oooooh, a hippo Reuben! Now that sounds good!.

I’d like to say yes because I enjoy lots of strange, exotic foods and have tried many weird ones. But have you ever smelled a hippo at the zoo? In a semi-enclosed space? If not, then you may not be aware that it’s just about the most foul, noxious odor that can be produced without causing anyone’s immediate death. It’s probably been 25 years since I visited the hippos at the Houston Zoo, but if I think about it for more than a moment, that horrific smell still comes back to smite me in the limbic portion of my brain. I cower, I quiver, I quake at the thought of having to bring that very odor to my gullet and then–through the process of digestion (or, at least, ingestion) to become one with it.

So, no, I do not like hippo sandwich. I will not eat it with a goat, in a boat, in the rain, on a train, I will not eat it here or there, I will not eat it anywhere. I do not like it, SamIam.

Yup.

Sure!

But now, I must ponder what wine goes well with hippo?
:wink:

I would like a hippowich (with onion rings please)
