Following on from my previous thread where people said they would eat these - if they were available in modern times what would people have them with? I personally would not want to waste the flavour maybe even have them raw mmm

    I suppose whatever you do with it a nice peanut sauce would be appropriate for elephant species.

    Interestingly, did you see that a frozen mammoth was found, with blood still in it. So cloning may be possible. You may get your wish in your lifetime. So plan away!

    butchered with middle palaeolithic stone tools and cooked on an open fire, which was lit using only middle palaeolithic technology of course. How else? :bigsmile:

    I would do mammoth slow cooked with onion, carrot and sage. If I was allowed New World food I would do some baked potatoes and rosemary.

    I would treat mammoth like venison, I think.

    I think it would be a lot more like pig than venison, on account that elephants are related to pigs and also they would carry a lot of fat... and woolly mammoths moreso than modern elephants as they were adapted to an ice age climate. Venison is a very lean meat.

    A quick google suggests that dugong might be the best equivalent. Earth oven type of treatment. Hangi.
