Penguin flippers, Kiwi breast, elephant trunk steak, that kind of stuff?

you jest but now I'm genuinely curious what penguin meat would taste like under all that blubber. would it retain any "bird" flavor or would it be more similar to marine mammals??? i don't actually want to eat a penguin to be clear, you've simply sparked my curiosity

My grandfather reported that they taste like fishy rubber boiled in motor oil. So bad that he only tried it once despite being on a ship in the Antarctic ocean for months on end. 1940s dry rations were preferable to fresh penguin.

Ok so I tried something similar today during work.


Pretty much most marine birds who mainly have fish in their diet taste pretty similar.

I tried a number of auk species (those include things like puffins, little auks, guillemots, razorbills ect.) And when boiled they both smell and taste kind of like wet Catfood and have dark meat.

Pretty gross and not reccomedable.

I could imagine its fair to assume penguin meat will not taste much different, though I can't give first hand accounts.

BUT i live in a place where people used to hunt and eat young gulls and they supposedly tasted good ( biggest lie ive ever heard).

I think with most of these marine bird species you really only eat them when you NEED to or go through a longer process of trying to get rid of the fishy taste by keeping them in milk baths or vinegar.

The joy of cooking has a similar suggestion for eating varmints who tend to eat garbage, such as opossums: Keep them alive for a week or so, feeding them oats, cereals, and honey.


Can confirm, makes for tastier varmint

hey guys i literally have never done this before but i truly truly feel desperate in a way i never have before. our 3 month old kitten has been having cluster seizures, every 12 hours in the last two days. ive watched him have three. we took him to the emergency vet but they cant do the exams he needs, theres a very real possibility well have to take him to multiple vets and i already know its going to get pricey and i just cant afford it on my own.

im trying to write this in as non-guilt trippy a way as possible but please, if you can at all, please help me. please at least reblog. i need to get him to someone who can help as soon as possible because every 12 hours that passes is another seizure. im prepared for the worst but i want to give him every chance i can.

one time there was a tumblr user with the url “pizza” and she would just comment on any text post about pizza saying “omg that’s me” and then we found out she had an entire tag dedicated to saying the n word

One time somebody paid $750 for the url ‘hi’ and got deleted in less than a year for promoting weight loss scams

Seeing that this was from 2019 is like how ancient Egypt had people who studied even more ancient versions of Egypt.
