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

    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.

    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.

    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?

    Probably like chicken or other bird meat, since birds are a type of dinosaur!

    Dinosaur meat would taste like petrified wood or rocks because it's 65 million years old. Duh!!

    Probably like gator meat.

    People say reptiles are tastier than chicken, the thing is chicken is mass produced at an industrial level, most of the reptiles are wild caught, maybe we should compare them to wild chicken or game bird, instead of store bought chicken, also it would differ wildly depending on type of dinosaur, it was a very diverse group

    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.

    I'm thinking ostrich meat is probably closest.

    Based on illustrated stories I was fed as a child, I would now like to know if the early Christians ate the dinosaurs after they were finished riding them.

    I don't know, it's hard to get

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

    it would depend on the kind of dinosaur, the ones with feathers would probably taste like low-fat/high-muscle turkey meat, while the water dinosaurs probably just tasted like red fish meat. I can't really tell what the lizard likes would've tasted, my best guess is somewhere between gator and komodo dragon.

    I would imagine it taste like most weird meats; fishy.
