I love meat.

Love to try a Rhino.

Every time I go to a zoo I don't think:

"Rare Greater Striped Pygmy Rhino".

I think:

"Hmmm. Wonder what that would taste like."

Only thing I wouldn't eat are people and other members of the ape family.

Not rhino, but hippo - this looks a bit like a sausage, would it taste like one?

Humans taste like pork, apparently.

All fine, but don't eat the liver, it's poisonous.

A Chinese student was telling me about Palm Civets a while back (she found their remains in a Tawainese site) and that they are edible. I asked her what they taste like, and she said "Er... like dog..." Then realised this wasn't helpful to me....

Dog? Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!

Don't be stupid, that's the wrong order. Everyone knows, the Dog is the starter, and the cat is dessert....

ok so i think its safe to say that rhinos dont eat chicken!!!

to be honest i wouldnt eat a rhino any way!

You'd get some pretty good steaks off a Rhino. Might be quite tasty. I've had zebra before and that's bloody lovely.

Yeah, no reason why rhino shouldn't taste like beef or lamb or pork.

<struggles to remember which rhino is more closely related to>

I think it's a bovid, so cow or sheep...

hang on

<google>

No, it's an odd toed ungulate and a hindgut digester, so perhaps more closely related in meat terms to horse. Which I believe is like a cross between venison and beef (and better for you, being polyunsaturated)... So it might be like zebra, I guess...

which is not a wild native, instead of, say, a rabbit or a hedgehog which is....

Rabbits ain't native to this country either.

I think a nice rhino liver pate would be an appropriate starter.

but what meal would it go with??

has any one ever eaten rhino???

 

[ComedyPilot]

Where would I start?

With a large bottle of HP sauce, a white seeded bap and a good run up..

You could have a whole multi-course rhino based meal, eg:

Rhino liver pate
Cream of rhino soup
Rhino shank trimmed with rhino bacon
Jelly made from rhino gelatin
Rhino milk cheese (using rhino rennet) and crackers

I've eaten horse - quite rich. I imagine rhino would be lean and tough - probably need to be stewed for a long time.

Doh! My brain must have jellified after a day emptying the recycling bins, you are quite correct.

On the other hand, there are more rabbits roaming free at this time, than there are rhinos...

Well, I am looking out of my office window as we speak, and I see neither rabbit nor rhino, so from my expermental testing, I would have to say that the evidence points to there being equal numbers of rabitts and rhinos in the UK.
