I used to raise chickens. They are the closest living relative to the tyrannosaurus rex, and it shows.

Could you please share a story or two about your dinosaur chickens?

Chicken are dinosaurs, and taste different than ducks and goose which are also dinosaurs.

With my wife’s cooking everything tastes the same.

I play the beef, chicken or pork game every night.

In the same way that apples taste like fruit.

I assume like an alligator or crocodile. Probably depends if it’s a carnivore or herbivore too

Probably like crocodiles, which is already a delicacy in some places. In fact, crocodiles are already dinosaurs, the only ones who were too lazy to evolve into anything.

Why evolve more when they’ve already figured it all out?

To fly maybe. Not sure, it just seems biologically conservative when every other surviving dinosaur became birds, fish, and mammals.

A lot of dinosaurs died out, crocodiles are still around.

Fish existed first, reptiles evolved from fish. Mammals evolved from reptiles alongside dinosaurs who also evolved from reptiles.

The only dinosaurs that survived the mass extinction 65 million years ago were birds.

Crocodiles are not dinosaurs, they are reptiles.

Both are reptiles. But the crocs and dinos are different lineages.

I dunno, I’ve read that dinosaurs were warm-blooded and didn’t really correspond with any category we use to sort animals today.

Technically, chickens are dinosaurs. Crocodiles are not, though they are as old as the non-avian dinosaurs with little in the way of evolutionary change.

If you have had duck, chicken, goose, and pheasant you have already have had some dinosaur!

With the wide variety of dinosaurs they would have had even more vsriety than we have with modern birds. Just like with the wide varety of fish and mammals.

I feel like turkey, cornish hen, and maybe quail are more common as food than pheasant and goose. At least in the US. If you’re European maybe you put live blackbirds inside pies or something, I dunno, but I guess that’s technically a dino meal too.

As an American duck seems more available than goose. I’ve seen turduckens, I’ve never seen a Goosiken

LIVE BLACKBIRDS???

Sing a song of sixpence a pocket full of rye,

Four and twenty blackbirds baked in a pie.

When the pie was opened the birds began to sing,

Oh wasn’t that a dainty dish to set before the king?

The king was in his counting house counting out his money,

The queen was in the parlour eating bread and honey

The maid was in the garden hanging out the clothes,

When down came a blackbird and pecked off her nose!

Moral of the story, don’t be a minor character in an 18th century nursery rhyme.

For entertainment purposes. The birds would fly out when the dish was uncovered.

I’ve always wondered about the blackbird pie thing. How did they get the birds into the pie? How many escaped during the pie-ing process? Were there originally a lot more than four-and-twenty? If they shit on any half-prepared food during the escape, was it thrown out or served to the cheap seats?
