    Liar. I'd rather learn how not to eat them since I love them and have a dog and a cat but maybe elk I'd try.

    I really want to find somewhere I can buy horse meat.

    The Tesco sausages in my freezer don't count. (Cheap, easy joke, I know, but seriously. Horse meat.)

    the mammoth could be coming back, they found a new carcass of one that had blood frozen in it so its possible they might be able to clone them.

    it will be on shelves quicksmart.

    I have eaten giant clam while living in a Fijian village and it was superb.

    It is protected in Australia, a ruling I completely agree with, given that it is a reef species and threatened by global warming. It was very tasty, though...

    If they did, there'd be only one of whatever gender this frozen one is, and no-one would be allowed to eat it.

    what kind of sauce would you put with it?

    If you can clone it, you can clone it again. And again. The only limits are the market, demand and supply.

    I reckon mammoth and rhino would just taste like horse. Grazers, all.

    Why is it that land herbivores taste great but land carnivores taste bad? The best seafood are the carnivores; tuna, trevally.

    The wildest I ever tried was kangaroo jerky, best jerky I’ve ever had. If I lived in Australia there wouldn’t be any kangaroos left. xD

    cloning it involves it growing in the womb of a female, they're quite a bit bigger than modern elephants, so not sure if an elephant would be able to give birth to a viable newborn mammoth. And where are you going to get all the milk to feed it with? An elephant can probably feed it, but it'll take a long time to grow to maturity. If it's female it can give birth to more clones, if it's male then you'll have to rely on elephants to make more clones. It's not at all cost effective, and would never work economically as a source of food. They take too long to grow.

    For conservation purposes, you'd need to clone an entire herd or maybe several herds, to get enough diversity for a viable population that will thrive. And for conservation purposes they'd be classified as an endangered species and would be illegal to eat.

    Elephant is more closely related to pig, so it would probably taste more like bacon. They have a high fat content, unlike zebra meat which is very lean. Not sure how closely rhinos are related to elephants but probably it would taste more like an elephant than a zebra, due to the high fat content. Some early humans ate hippos too, also very fatty, also probably tasted rather like bacon. *awaits MFP bacon gifs*

    Partially true. In documentaries, when the cannibals are questioned they universally state that human meat is the sweetest of all. Thus, omnivores taste best.
